Show me your wall-attached pot hangers

16 years ago

We're down to the last few decisions! We need to hang our pot hanger from the wall, but quite close to the ceiling. Also, where you bought yours would be helpful as well.

By the way, I ordered sink & faucet from lowcostplumbing.com yesterday and they were nice as could be. Hopefully everything will arrive intact. Another decision to cross off the list!

Probably not what you're thinking of but I have this small one for the omlette pans I use at brekkies every morning and the sautÃ© pan I use most evenings.

It's an Ikea door handle with the hooks they sell for their wall/open shelf systems. Cost me like $7 for both hanger and hooks, it's highly useful, not unattractive and the handles came in pairs so I have another one if I ever want to hang things near the sink.

I asked a similar question a few weeks ago. No one posted pix (maybe you'll get some) but I did find two websites, potracks galore and potrack source, that seem to have a very wide selection. I'm waiting until my cabinets are in and I can do field measurements to actually place the order.

Really sorry to hear about the hurricane, though I hope you enjoy the reno process. Here is a picture of my pot rack - though there's no pots on it in this picture. I think they were still packed away when I took this picture.

Eliza, I love the colors in this room, the table and chairs look beautiful, you did a great job!!! mclark, this is a great idea! One question though, one of my plates is shaped like a long tray and is a little heavy. I am wary of hanging it on those little gold stretchy plate hangers. Do you think I should find something like Eliza has her plates hanging on instead? Thanks for taking the time to help me out!

Gray Squirrel seen in Olney City park, Olney, IL Olney advertises it is the home of the white squirrels. There are several around, but this one is of the variety found in local woods. Did you know that squirrels can negotiate the side of a vertical brick wall? They can if the brick facing has sufficient detail as this building did. These bricks have fine vertical grooves on their faces. This was just barely enough to allow this squirrel to gingerly work his way across the wall. He did not climb very high staying within a comfortable dropping distance to the ground. He soon tired of the "rock climb" and jumped down. Photo taken with lens zoomed to long tele. The squirrel was about 75 ft away.

Here is mine.

I am slightly disappointed; the paint seems to be coming off from the hooks so I suppose if this was a real working potrack, I would need to spray paint it every few years. It eventually will have working pots but I can't afford the Copper Chef from All Clad right yet.

I got it at kitchensource.com for $79.00. Sorry about the image. Bad lighting and a newer camera that I can't quite figure out makes for a blurry image.

cleo, thanks for the pic, as that was one rack we're thinking about getting. What finish did you get (there are several) - maybe I can avoid the paint coming off by choosing another?

bluekitobsessed, do you still have the link to that thread? I'd like to see what links there are, as maybe I've missed some.
I am noticing kitchen details in EVERY movie I watch! very distracting.... :-)

Thanks!

I think it is the one closest to being black wrought iron so it would go with my chandelier. It has a reddish rust finish though which surprised me so maybe they sent me the wrong one. I barely noticed the slightly rust finish once I got it up. It was really easy to hang too; I think it took me 5 minutes at most.

The paint has only come off from moving the hooks back and forth when I clean it. I think if I waxed the surface, they would slide more freely.

I'm not sure how to link but try searching "utensil rail." Someone posted a link to Lee Valley for utensil rails (not pot racks) but everything was Canadian and my brain fried trying to convert 600mm. In any case, the pot rack specialist sites have a much larger selection. I think for space and aesthetic reasons I will just stick to a utensil rail with maybe a tiny shelf above it for salt, pepper, other essentials.
The sites are http://www.pot-racks-online.com/, www.potracksource.com, and www.potracksgalore.com. HTH.

Here are my two chrome "Utensil Rails" from Enclume. These sit pretty close to the wall, but Enclume also sells varieties that hold the pots further out. I bought mine at Williams-Sonoma, but you can find lots of online placs to buy them as well.

I don't have ours installed yet, so I don't have a picture, but we bought the Enclume "Dutch crown" style potrack from Williams-Sonoma. It is available in a variety of finishes (we got hammered steel). They don't carry a lot of them on their website, but they have a catalog in-store you can order from.

Here it is and other wall-mounted varieties. I also like the ones with a bookshelf.

Thanks Kristi, that's one we're thinking about. I see you have tile behind the potrack, and I'm wondering (this question for others too) if we're going to be banging up our wall behind the rack with the pots/pans - which is just a painted wall.

The enclume rack that I have can either be installed with a 4" or 8" wall bracket. We chose the 8", which gives the pots/pans more room. We have not had any banging on the wall.

Oh, and I purchased these on MetroKitchens. We got hammered steel, much cheaper than the other choices. All parts are sold separately (bar, wall brackets, and hooks).
