The Best Pots and Pans Storage Ideas

Storing pots and pans in the kitchen can be creative. You have to use your imagination when there are too many utensils and not enough space. It’s good that the manufacturers have already thought of everything and provided us with the opportunity to quickly improve our home.

Look around the space

Pots and pans are stored in kitchen shelving along with grains, flour and a range of other foods and spices. If everything you need doesn’t want to fit in one place, then it’s worth reconsidering the contents of the cabinets. Surely some items are rarely used or completely forgotten. Move them to the pantry, donate them, throw them away if they are unusable. Place the most necessary utensils in the foreground.

Organization requires not only dishes, but also food. It makes sense to prepare containers, attach additional hooks, grates and shelves. To ensure that the placement of pots is not just convenient, but also aesthetically pleasing, pay attention to the methods described below.

Wall perforated panel

This device is simply indispensable for small kitchens. A sheet of perforated steel or plywood is mounted on the wall. Holders for pots, pans and other utensils are attached to it. It is possible to store metal utensils without hooks, but using magnetic systems.

Pegboard looks very appropriate in the kitchen; don’t be afraid of such design solutions. Models are available in different colors and shapes. It is not only original, but also very functional.The board is suitable for any area: its dimensions can be adjusted. The most budget-friendly and miniature variety is magnetic tape.

Advice
It is recommended to install all devices at height level, so as not to expose yourself to chairs and ladders every time.

Stands, racks

Many housewives found the system in the form of a stand for placing pots very convenient and attractive. The special organizer has several connectors, including for lids.

The Swedish store Ikea offers a lot of devices for better organization of the kitchen. There you can buy additional stands that fit into cabinets, hanging baskets, racks and more.

Railing - system with hooks

Shelves with hooks on which cooking utensils are hung can be placed anywhere. The most convenient location of the railing is next to the hob. This makes cooking convenient and fast. By the way, this system can have not only hooks, but also various stands.

Not all housewives approve of placing rails near the stove, since drops of fat fall on the dishes during cooking.

Other options for placing rails and hooks are on the sides of cabinets and inside, above a window and even under the ceiling if it is high enough. Cute pots for everyone to see - this is an original solution for a country-style interior. Important: when installing the hanging system, make sure that it does not interfere with walking.

The magazine purity-en.htgetrid.com advises not to forget about the condition of pots and lids if they are placed in plain sight. Wash them thoroughly to remove carbon deposits so that they shine.

Advice
If there is no room for railing, simply drive a couple of nails into the wall or shelf, or glue special decorative hooks with good glue.

Sections in a pull-out cabinet

If you are lucky enough to have a large drawer that can accommodate all your pans and pots along with their lids, then here is an idea for you. She will simplify this organization as much as possible: divide into sections for each individual utensil and at least two tiers so that the cabinet is filled to the edge, and not just at the bottom. Objects will not be mixed, everyone will have a niche. You can build partitions and shelves from thin wooden boards. It's worth adding hinges so that the shelves open to reveal the bottom tier.

Where to put the lids

Sometimes placing lids on pots and pans is much more difficult than placing the dishes themselves. They are all different, with convex handles that prevent the utensils from being stacked properly.

The best option is an organizer on the cabinet door. Buy special metal cells or simply glue a couple of hooks in one line and at an angle to secure the lid to them. Metal blocks are easy to install on the wall. The covers are also inserted into the opening between the railing and the wall.

Small lids will fit into the dish draining basket. Special organizers for lids and cutting boards are sold. They can decorate the kitchen interior well.

A trick for those who have the opportunity to store pots in a closet: cover them with their original lids, but with the handle down. This way you can put another on top of one pan. The “pyramid” starts with the largest container and ends with the smallest.

And one last tip: for lids that are not used during cooking, there are special plastic stands.Place an object on them, as well as a spoon or spatula for stirring, and you will not have to wash the countertop from moisture stains and food particles.

Proper distribution of space in the kitchen will simplify life: say no to chaos in cabinets, falling dishes and other inconveniences.
