Spanish term or phrase: parales

Estoy traduciendo una presentación sobre el estudio de un nuevo diseño de cestas de cocción para carne de cerdo:

"El nuevo diseño de la cesta favorece la circulación de las corrientes de vapor, no evidenciándose que la colocación de nuevos **parales** en el fondo y los laterales tengan un efecto significativo en la retención de la entrada de vapor. "

Encontré "props", pero no estoy segura de que cuadre dentro del contexto.

Muchas gracias por sus sugerencias

supports/uprights

Explanation:
I also agree with Deborah's comments but I would use 'supports' for 'parales'. I've found the definition 'upright' for 'paral' (unfortunately, it is a definition in my paper dictionary so I cannot post a link to it for you). I've posted links to the English definition. For the definition of 'support' it is entry no 12 that is the most relevant to this discussion and the comments already made.

stays

Explanation:
if the "parales" are attached to the "fondo" and "laterales" then presumably they are holding them together to strengthen the structure of the basket; the word that comes to my mind is "stays" (here is a dictionary entry to know what they are, although the translations don't include "paral"):

I think the text is saying that even though the design now includes these "parales", they do not reduce the free circulation of steam.
