Product review (1 stars): Design Defect with Lower Oven
The bottom rack in the lower oven cannot slide straight out without hitting the door and gasket - you need to tilt and lift the rack with the steaming, splattering hot turkey on it, and the turkey slides off the rear of the rack and into the oven. This is because the rack is too low. Nowhere is this mentioned in the instruction manual. To explain, when cooking a large turkey (18 lbs), you're instructed to use the offset rack in the bottom (A) position. However, you cannot slide the rack all the way out because the rack hits the oven door, particularly the gasket which is bad. Also, the rack bows with the heat and weight and ends up getting caught in the heating element, which further makes it very difficult to get the turkey out. There is no weight restriction listed for this rack; indeed, the owners manual describes an 18-20 lb turkey! I cannot recommend this oven for this reason. GE has refused to recognize that this is a design defect and so far has refused to do anything for me.
