Pot and Pan pull out choices (can't do drawers)

Does anyone have one of these in 36"?
I just found out that drawers for pots and pans won't work for me because the deepest drawer offered in our cabinet is 7" and that just doesn't seem like enough. My other option (other than the above pictured) is just to go with 36 cabinet with 2 pairs of roll outs. I am worried that the single roll out above will be a beast when fully loaded. Anyone have it and like it?

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 MoreWhat are your interior drawer measurements for pots and pans?
Comments (14)Hi carecooks: I'm kind of like my bread drawer. We switched from a standard depth fridge to a counter depth one with the reno, so I thought I'd keep our bread in the drawer rather than the fridge because of the lost fridge space. However we ended up keeping regular sandwich bread and tortillas in the fridge anyway to avoid mold. (Some of the tortillas seem to get moldy really fast, like a few days, if they're at room temp.) So we use the bread drawer for oatmeal, crackers, MW popcorn, stuff like that. Now I'm thinking I should use it for pasta too, because that gets kind of buried in my pantry. I like having the acrylic top -- I don't know if it really keeps things fresher, but it makes me feel like it will! And regarding #3 above: weigh the food processor first and ask the cabinet maker/supplier about keeping it in a drawer. I thought I would keep my KA mixer in a drawer and our cabinet maker said a pantry shelf (built in, not a roll out) would be better because of the weight. I do keep my blender in a drawer, with the glass part separated from the base due to height. (It's in the drawer in my first picture above.) Regarding #2: set them up on the counter(or better yet in a box) how you would imagine them in a drawer, giving yourself the confines of the planned width and depth of the drawer, then measure how high they go. My skillet handle fits in between pots on an angle because it's so long, so I had to work around it to make things fit. Someone posted a picture of how they hung their pots in a cabinet... maybe the "hidden gems" thread? It was clever and nicely organized....See MoreDrawers for pots and pans
Comments (9)What do your sister's shoes look like? No, really. Does she half open a drawer and pull out the pan from the bottom of the stack? Or does she open the drawer fully, and lift the stack to get at the pan she wants? And yourself (your family?) What are her cabinets made of? Will yours be made of the same stuff? Does she have a condition that affects her ability to control the things she's holding? (Arthritis, palsy, nerve damage, limp muscles, too much drink, congenital clumsiness?) It's not anything I've ever heard about. My own pot drawers haven't been in long enough for me to know about them, but the first thing I'd do is figure out what nicks are from "normal" wear and tear, and how much is from lack of care, lack of grace or infirmity. If you can eliminate all of those, then I'd look at the materials and see if it is something about them that makes them more prone to nicks, and see if there were another choice that would hold up better....See Morepot draw or pull outs for pots?
Comments (29)The nice thing about our wide pots drawer is that I have no more than two pots nested, and most are not nested at all. The lid is then stored right with the pot. With nested pots, it's no problem or mess storing two lids on top of the "nest". Yes, if you are nesting 3 or 4 I can see that it might be an issue. With minimal nesting, it's so much nicer just reaching in and pulling out the pot w/lid in one "motion"...no more hunting for which one fits the pot. Even the couple that are nested, it's not much more of an effort and there's still the advantage of knowing the lid that's in the "nest" fits. Jillie731...we have the same door as Cdecker1. It's a deep frost and even when the light is on in the pantry you really can't see much of anything. The design is not frosted, but someone would have to look through small areas and probably have to get really close to see anything. My door was purchased from Home Depot (special order) from Feather River Doors....See More
