designing a pots/pans drawer
Comments (7)I don't think this is going to fit at standard counter height if you go with traditional drawers. My counters are 36" high with 3.5" toekick and tile/schluter counters. I just measured some of my drawers in a triple stack. The face of the top drawer measures 7" but there is only 5" height inside the drawer; the middle drawer measures 11" on the outside and 9.5" usable inside; the bottom drawer measures 12" on the door and 10" usable depth inside. All the drawers have blumotion slides that fit under the drawer, so you might get more depth with side-slides. If you go with double cabinet doors and put slide-out trays inside, you'll get a little more room. Under my top drawers (same as above), I have double-doors and two adjustable slide-out trays that are set (right now) to give me 7" height and 13" height. Or, you might consider getting 30" deep cabinets, as I have. That's about 25% more storage space. But that's another thread......See MorePot/pan storage drawers under cooktop pics
Comments (6)Sorry it took me so long to get back to you Beagles. How exciting to see your cabs start to come together! I'm already figuring a visit to my cab maker in the next couple of weeks to see mine in construction. My slabs? We found some Pietra del Cardosa for the island that DH really liked, but it'll have the same etching issues as the Carrara on the perimeter. I'm back to thinking wood top. Sleep is still elusive as now my body clock has been set to a 2a.m. bedtime regardless of how tired I am. I do catch a nap every now and then now. Thanks for asking!...See MorePot and Pan pull out choices (can't do drawers)
Comments (14)I would not like the drawer as shown, as I think you lose space. I do have (on purpose) a dual rollout, with the lower with more "depth" than the upper (and a drawer on top, as described above). You not only get the flexibility to store the larger pots on the bottom, you can get stacking racks for fry pans and such (I use pan separators). Plus, you gain a few extra inches in the back for handles that extend beyond the limits of the drawer. Of course, your pullouts also extend the full length of the drawer. I have way too much cookware for the arrangement shown above....See MoreDrawer vs Doors with organizer for pots and pans
Comments (19)I have a Rev A Shelf double tier heavy duty chrome pullout (they have two lines of chrome pullouts) in a cabinet for my pots and pans. In my dream kitchen they are staying. 1. Pots and pans that are heavily used eventually get "stuff" on them. I don't like putting things with "stuff"in wooden drawers. I don't like having to empty drawers for cleaning all the time. That's also why I would never have built in wooden dividers. I want to be able to lift out and wash silverware and utensil trays periodically. Lucky people who have never had a house mouse to deal with. LOL All these pretty kitchen displays don't account for real life. Mice enter, kids spill juice, pots and pans don't stay pristine, crumbs magically appear. I'm a realist. I don't have a maid and my time is better spent out having fun than cleaning my cabinetry and polishing my pots and appliances. For others it may be different. I am not suzy homemaker although I love to cook and bake. 2. The wire allows air to circulate. A pan that has a little moisture left behind after drying is no problem. 3. They are adjustable. If my cookware or storage needs change, so can they. Just last week, we put a second smaller 18" unit in another of my current elderly kitchen cabs for the dog's food. The bottom holds two giant Tupperware canisters for the kibble and the top holds a flat of canned food, a scoop and an extra bowl with room to spare on both layers. The glides used are for 100 pounds. The baskets are heavy duty but probably weigh less than a wood drawer....See More- 14 years ago
