I have all my plastic leftover containers and misc stuff that I don't use very often in mine. Primarily stuff that doesn't stack well. We didn't have one in previous kitchens so I may not be using it in the best way. I have a walk in pantry so I don't need it for food, but that is what my mother-in-law uses her's for.

-a set of bowls(for mixing, baking, preparing, etc)

-cutting boards

-sifters

-a mixer..and a blender..))

-baking ceramic (forgot the right word) thingamagics

- couple additional pots and pans. Mostly new ones that are to be used yet

-a set of additional knives in a woodblock.

-additional supply of stuff for cleaning..sponges etc. In a box..

It's a small kitchen, we have two corner cabinets.

With all I've mentioned-they still have some space that can be filled.

Can't say they're so very incredibly easy and comfortable to use. One needs to be careful as not to bang the doors and all that. But as I said it's a small kitchen, every inch of storage counts, and I like these corner cabs having susans much more than I'd like the alternative.

We store canned tomato products, jarred sauces, bread crumbs, taco shells and sauces.

I love mine. It is near the stove and it holds all of my pots, pans and casserole dishes and lids. Baking sheets are in the cabinet on the other side of the stove standing up.

I love mine too. I have a super susan, not a lazy susan, as shown in vinmarks's photo above. Note that there is no center pole. You cannot adjust the height on these, but I that has never been a problem for me - the extra space without the pole makes up for it.

I store large pots, blender, food processor, mixing bowls, large infrequently used serving bowls, and numerous mason jars with lids (for making large batches of homemade smoothies) in mine. The storage is huge and versatile - and everything is easy to access.

In your drawing, you show gull wing doors. In my experience the bifold doors are more functional - you pull on one door, open it partway, and then as you continue pulling the other door opens to 170-degrees. This configuration is best if you want to be able to open the door one-handed. The only other door configuration I know of is a fixed 90-degree door - but these only work if you don't have a cabinet next to the corner (otherwise they'll bump on the next cabinet and restrict your access to the space).

Bifold door example (the door on the right will continue to open to 170 degrees, and in your case - 36" corner cabinet - both sides would have about 10-11" inches of opening on each side):

Carolyn T - The storage container dilemma is something I will definitely need to plan for so that might be a good use of that space.

Aprilneverends - You get all that in them! Wow, ware they 36"?

Mine is a half lazy susan. We store our rice cooker and waffle iron on the top and an assortment of strainers on the bottom plus a few other infrequently used items (tortilla warmer for example).

Similar pic to this but ours doesn't have a drawer so the cabinet door goes all the way up so the top clearance is quite high..

Sorry vinmarks, girlnamedgalez, DIY2Much2Do, and Salex I didn't refresh before I commented and missed your comments. I am totally shocked at how much you are fitting in these! I wouldn't have though you could store pots in them. Where I want it would be right by the range so that would be ideal, or for canned goods and grains that I use while cooking, though I will have an upper wall cabinet there that I would probably use for that stuff, so if my main cooking pots would go in something like this that would be awesome! Sounds like you need to make sure to have the super susan and not the lazy susan.

gthigpen - so that's actually a blind corner cabinet with a half lazy susan?

forevernow, that, I don't know)) Honestly. Need to measure..

Also. I read -a bit too fast-other responses..

It seems ours are super susans..super susans are ones that turn, right?

also, we have bi-fold doors (them, I meant when explaining how irritating they are..))

forevernow - Correct, it's not a full blind corner base. I didn't want to dedicate a full corner, so I just use a 'half' corner. Here is my kitchen layout. Circled in RED is the corner base cabinet. It just has one single door that opens and the half susan slides out. If you can read the text in the cabinet specs, it calls out the Rev-A-Shelf unit we got.

I miss my corner lazy susan from my previous house, but I kept my small appliances in mine. It was nice not having to move the toaster to get to the blender, and that kind of thing. I just spun it around. toaster, blender, food processor, iced tea maker, electric griddle, salad spinner, colanders, microwave steamer, etc.

gthigpen - Ah, I see now, that makes a lot of sense in your layout!

justwantapool - That's a great idea. I don't use any of those things often, but it's always a pain to get to them because they are all stuffed in the back of a cabinet behind stuff I do use a lot! I'm starting to get excited about this cabinet. lol

I have a super susan, and the top level has snacks and the lower level has kitchen linens. I'm probably not making the best use of it, but it's not my favorite thing and it was hard to think of what to put in there.

Forevernow, I think you're right to be excited about this kind of corner storage. When I asked for feedback on my kitchen layout, a few people suggested I close off the corners or do blind corners - and I am very glad I went with my gut on the 36"x36" corner super susan! It is really a ton of easily accessible space for heavy and awkward items - very versatile. Good luck with your project.

I also have a super susan and I keep all my small appliances in it. Love it. In another home it held my pots and pans.

I keep dry goods in mine. I do not have a pantry in the kitchen (I use the foyer closet for bulk items). I have all my baking items on the top (flour, sugar, etc) and pasta, rice, chicken stock, etc on the bottom. I love it.

I don't have much in my lazy susan, but I like it. It's where I keep my George Foreman grill and my popcorn popper. Both of these can be greasy and my lazy susan has easy to clean plastic shelves and has the space for these bigger, awkward things.

My Ikea lazy susan cab sits right next to my sink cabinet.

I've read many posts here where peeps complain that the Ikea susan wastes space (it's a 38x38" cab and there is about 4 or 5 inches of empty space between the shelves and the the cabinet sides.

Well, I find this "wasted space" perfect for storing large items upright that don't fit in any other cabinet and that I use when working at the sink. On one side of the susan, I store a super sized cutting board that we use for prepping over the sink/counter and an extra large tray that we use daily to carry dishes and food from the kitchen to the dining room and back.

On the other side of the rotating susan we've installed a pull-out double towel rail for my dish towels (my under-sink pull-out holds a trash can and cleaning supplies and I really didn't want to keep my dish towels in there).

The bottom holds a foldable step stool

The rotating shelves hold my salad spinner, an extra dishpan and colanders of various sizes, a well as small appliances such as the juicer, mixer, food processor, blender etc. Plus I have plenty of space left for new gadgets in the future. :-)

During planning our new kitchen, I worried that opening the double doors of the susan cab and retrieving the items on the shelves would would feel awkward, but that's not the case at all. I'm glad I ignored the much repeated advice on this forum, to forgo the corner cab altogether or do a blind corner.

Best of luck with your kitchen remodel.

I also love my corner lazy Susan. Two shelves hold all my mixing bowls, Pyrex, largest and small Corning Ware casserole dishes, and large tupperware bowls. It holds an enormous amount of stuff. I also use the sides for my extra large cutting boards and extra large cooling racks.

Thank you everybody! I think you've definitely sold me on this. :D I knew this type of cabinet would fit better in my layout but I was worried you wouldn't be able to fit much into it but canned goods so I'm happy to see that isn't the case, and glad to learn about the super susan. I've heard that term but didn't understand the difference, not having that middle post will make for much more room.

Salex and Pippabean I can't wrap my head around closing off a corner! That just seems like a complete waste. Even if you have a large space why not have some storage there, you might use it for something and if not, then you don't it's the same difference as closing it off with an extra option! I'm going to need all the space I can get though!

I love my super Susan. I have all of my small appliances in there, multi cooker, food processor, hand mixer, blender, electric frypan, vacuum sealer, fondue pot, waffle maker and more. I really didn’t think I would like it, but it’s wonderful, so easy to get stuff in and out!

we have one 36” Susan planned for our remodel and I’m planning on storing small appliances in it. I’m hoping my crockpot fits! We opted out of a second corner cab in favor of larger drawer bases on eitheR side for the other corner.

forevernow, I have a U-shaped kitchen, so I have 2 corners to deal with. When I was designing our new kitchen, I studied every corner storage solution out there! My kitchen isn't huge, so I needed to make efficient use of every inch.

One corner has a super susan in a diagonal cabinet - between the sink and fridge. I did a diagonal because I wanted a drawer on top for a knife insert. I keep my small appliances there, and I love it.

The other corner is between my sink and range. What I desperately needed in my kitchen was more drawers - not another super susan, and not a deep corner for seldom-used items (I had other spaces for those things). I made a dead corner with drawers on each side, and I am thrilled with the result. I use those drawers every day - and if they weren't there, I would not have drawers to store kitchen utensils, towels and dishcloths, bags and wraps, dry goods, or frying pans. Admittedly, some of those things could have gone in a corner cabinet, but it would not be efficient use of space at all.

It took me a long time to realize that there is a difference between "wasted" space and under-utilized space. Often, the means to access the space in a corner prohibits you from using the space on at least one side of the corner to its full potential - you may be able to stash that big canning pot in the corner, but you lose a drawer bank in the process (and the canning pot can go in the basement until you need it - or like mine, above the fridge).
