Abstract
Embodiments of an adjustable warming rack as an accessory component for a cooking station are provided. In one embodiment, the warming rack may include a rack panel and first and second legs. The rack panel may extend with an upper panel and a lower panel such that the upper panel is moveable relative to the lower panel to modify a surface area defined by an upper side of the rack panel. The first and second legs are each pivotably coupled adjacent respective first and second opposite sides of the rack panel such that the first and second legs are configured to suspend the rack panel above a flat cooking surface of the cooking station. Further, the first and second legs are pivotably moveable to modify a height that the rack panel is suspended from the flat cooking surface of the cooking station.
