Could you make a rack out of chopsticks across the lower casserole?

You could also put the chopsticks across the casserole before putting
the lid on top.

Thanks to the sensible responses. The glass casserole dishes are so well
made that the lids are too closely fitting even when placed upside down.
Using the oven eating element easily brings the temperature up to where the
wood (chopsticks) cannot cope with it.
