A dish rack is supported for both selective movement into and out of a washing chamber of a dishwasher tub and vertically relative to the tub, with the vertical adjustment being made by manually grasping and shifting at least one frontal cross bar extending about a front wall of the dish rack to cause pivoting of first and second lever members extending along sides of the dish rack. The side lever members cooperate with latching mechanisms to lift and retain the dish rack in a select raised position.

Cooking device with cooking insert

An egg cooking insert can be used with a cooking device having a lower cooking plate and an upper cooking plate connected to the lower plate with a floating hinge, with the egg cooking insert including a base portion having an upper surface defining a cooking surface. A wall extends upwardly about a periphery of the upper surface to define a cavity above the cooking surface. The base portion may have a thickness greater than a thickness of the wall. A bottom surface of the base portion may be angled with respect to the cooking surface. A plurality of grooves may be formed in the bottom surface of the base portion.

A dish rack is supported for vertical movement relative to a dishwasher tub, with the vertical adjustment being made by manually shifting the dish rack to cause a camming unit of a latching mechanism to cooperate with a follower in establishing at least a lowered position and a raised position for the rack. The camming unit includes a plurality of camming surfaces and ramps establishing multiple tiers upon which the follower is guided while being biased by a spring.
