What size for oil/sauce pullout?
Comments (18)
8 years agoI have an 11.5" wide 3 drawer base cabinet on each side of stove. The bottom drawer on each are tall.
Plenty of space. I keep oils and vinegars in it.

Oil/Vinegar Pullouts - 6' or 9'???
Comments (8)I think it depends on a couple of things: (1) Are your cabinets framed, frameless, or inset? and (2) Are the pullouts "filler pullouts" or actual cabinets? This is my take on it.... If you have framed or inset cabinets, filler pullouts have the same OR more room, width-wise than the same size and bigger cabinets. With framed cabinets, you are constrained by the actual size of the cabinet opening. E.g., if you have cabinets w/1-1/2" face frames around the opening, then a 6" cabinet will only have a 3" opening and the pullout will need to be The 9" cabinet pullout from Rev-A-Shelf has a pullout width of 5". However, Rev-A-Shelf's 6" filler pullout's width is 6" and is designed for a 6" opening...b/c it's mounted b/w two cabinets and there are no face frames and cabinet walls to reduce the opening size. In another thread (see link below), Alku05 measured her 3" filler pullouts and determined that bottles up to a 2-1/4" diameter fit, so the opening b/w the shelf railings is probably 2-1/4". That means, I think, that the railings take up approximately 3/8" on each side. So, a 6" filler pullout would most likely have a 5-1/4" [(2-1/4" + 3") OR (6" - 6/8") = 5-1/4"] distance b/w the rails. Now, the pullout for the 9" cabinet is 5" wide and if you account for the 3/8" railing on each side, that leaves 4-1/4" b/w the railings in the 9" cabinet. If my analysis is correct, then the 6" filler pullout has 1/2" more usable space than the 9" cabinet. Again, this is for framed or inset cabinets. However, even with frameless cabinets, you have to account for the cabinet walls. If they're 3/4", then you will still lose 1-1/2" of opening width. What am I saying? I'm saying that if you have between 6" & 9" to work with, I would get the filler pullouts rather than cabinets. Base filler pullouts (at Rev-A-Shelf) come in 3", 6", and 9" Filler Pull-Outs - Base I may have over-analyzed this, but that's a byproduct of my occupation. :-) However, it came in very handy when I went through something similar and it helped me realize that even if I'm forced to reduce my two 9" cabinets to 6" each, I will not lose cabinet space.

Comments (8)Sounds like a good one. I'm filing this away for a special dinner when my granddaughter comes to visit in December. Thanks for giving us this one! SharonCb...See MoreSkinny pullout. What do you keep in them...
Comments (15)I have a skinny one (5" wide inside) that is only counter-height high, with a small drawer on top of it. It's under the countertop I use for baking and I have found it perfect for smallish baking supplies: Salt, baking powder and baking soda, vanilla and other extracts, larger-size jars of cinnamon and ginger, molasses, etc....all the stuff I need a tsp or tbs of when baking, right at my fingertips. The upper drawer makes it particularly easy. I keep the most used stuff in it, then the pullout has only two levels, so easy to get to everything....See MorePullouts next to cook top
Comments (30)I have a pullout identical to the OP's first photo (albeit a different drawer front). I use the top shelf for most-used spices. I found a tiered organizer so I can put them label side up, and I keep them alphabetized so I can grab what I want easily. The second shelf in the pullout holds less-used baking items in the front: baking soda, baking powder, dehydrated minced onions, the big container of lemon pepper I use to fill up a smaller one that stays out all the time (DH is on a low-salt diet). In the back are some stacked unusual-sized ramekins I occasionally use. On the third lowest shelf, because it's the most inconvenient to reach, are other ramekins and things like egg poacher cups. The remainder of my spices are in an 18" wide upper cab, standing on another tiered organizer set on the first shelf. I have them in a particular order and it's only one short step from my stove/prep area. The shelves in my pullout aren't adjustable, so I keep liquids in either of the two opposing Lazy Susan corner base cabs. My kitchen is U-shaped with the range in the middle of the base of the U, so it's two steps to either side to reach anything in a LZ cab. It's safer for liquids as the LZ trays are a solid heavy-duty plastic. I have a very pretty oil can for cooking oil which I refill, that I leave out on the counter by the range. The best organizer I ever bought, however, was the drop-down cookbook holder. I LOVE this thing! It's mounted on the cab to the right of the range. Flips back up when I'm done and almost disappears. I have room to prep underneath and can more easily read a recipe (yeah, I wear glasses....)....See More

I love my one level oils pullout but it is 12 inches wide in a 16 inch cabinet. First I was dismayed by the loss of width with the pullout, but it functions so well and makes all my Oils and vinegars so easy to find. The top pullout shelf has more than enough room for all my cooking utensils. There about 13 inches height allowed for the oils and vinegars.
The pullouts are adjustable in height so that I can change them if I need to. My cabinets are 26 inches deep, so that the pullout drawer is 24 inches deep. - 8 years ago

I have two 6" filler pullouts flanking my cooktop. If it's a filler pullout, then unless you have large bottles of oil, I think a 6" will be fine. Note that mine are filler pullouts, not cabinets.
Filler pullouts have more space than cabinets b/c they don't have walls - they attach to the cabinets on either side.
However, if you have a range, not a cooktop, then you will probably have to use a cabinet. I don't know if a 6" cabinet will have enough room - measure your bottles and then check with your KD about what the usable shelf width is in the cabinet pullout.
The usable shelf width of my filler pullouts is 4.75" - the actual interior space b/w the "rails" on each side of the pullout shelf. So, any bottle that's 4.75" wide or less should fit.
Regardless of which you get, get one that has adjustable shelves. My KD company cheaped out on me and did not get me the one with adjustable shelves.

Mine are not the same. We have 35 inch drawers left of stove. Right of stove is a 9" rev-a-shelf pull out and 35" drawer. I guess it depends on your level of comfort with asymmetry and your kitchen layout. I think 9" is plenty big for oils, vinegars, and salts/peppers. We still aren't sure how we will use it. It seems like way too many shelves...

I would get that Oxo Mat IF I hadn't opted for the Hafele version of the pull-out, which has melamine shelves that are a breeze to clean. Here's a picture - as I said above, the bottom shelf is somewhat unused, and my spices are elsewhere (laying flat in a drawer)
