What is "rack"?
A rack typically refers to a cut of meat, often from lamb or pork, that is taken from the rib section and cooked as a whole piece.

These cuts are prized for their tenderness, flavor, and impressive appearance, often served as a centerpiece for special occasions or elegant dinners. They can be prepared using various cooking methods, including roasting, grilling, or pan-searing, and are often seasoned with herbs, spices, and marinades to enhance their flavor.
