I need after market pot lid storage
Comments (4)I think that the one Birkie refers to will work for me. I have pot drawers to the right of the cook top, but under the cooktop is just a sink base that is not very organized. I like the low tech solution from IKEA because its easy to reach the lids if its attached to the inside of the cabinet door. Today we are trying out a lid organizer from BBand B which I placed in the pot drawer off to one side and that might work also....See MoreStorage of pot lids on the wall
Comments (5)I DIYed a rack for displaying antique plates that would work fine for this use. The key is to make it very narrow, with a front tall enough so that the plates can't tip forward and out of the rack [I actually made the front short, with a gap then a dowel so more of the plate face would show]. The plates are still easy to access, they come right up and out. But they're perfectly secure, they've been through a couple earthquakes without falling....See MoreWhat is the best way to store pots, pans and lids
Comments (28)laughable - I'm not Chicago Bob, but we had considered something like that at one point when it looked like I might not be able to have my 3rd (top) drawer under my induction cooktop at a usable height...we would have had the front represent as the two drawers, but part of the front would have been covering an area of the cooktop clearance, then the drawer in a drawer would have been just below that...putting the drawer within a drawer would have yielded me the storage area that I needed, even if it was a bit less convenient. If you have a choice though, I would be less likely to do the drawer in a drawer. As it is, my top drawer front for my cooktop cabinet is 6" high (lining up with the rest of the top drawers in the kitchen) and will have a drawer depth of about 2 1/2"...enough for me to put flatter utensils (or some people would put lids) in that area....See MoreLid storage - pictures please
Comments (24)Personally I don't like the lids on the pot / pans either, and Rev-a-Shelf makes a nice pull-out where they stack separately. I think it fits a 15" wide cab. Lowes has them for about $80 - HALF what I have seen them for anywhere else. BUT, I ordered a cooktop / storage unit from Fagor that will hopefully store all but my largest Lobster / stock pots. Still waiting for that to arrive from Europe (over a month - getting nervous). With my current layout I won't be able to fit the Rev-a-Shelf, so I really need that unit to arrive so I can make sure all my pots fit before I finalize other cabinets. If I had drawers large enough to fit my pots without stacking, I'd just leave the lids on top and if I don't need to use the lid I'd just leave it in the drawer as a space-filler. The benefit of this is that if someone else washes the pot and goes to put it back it's pretty obvious where it belongs! I REALLY like Beagle's pics of the shallow drawers holding lids above the deeper pot drawers. That makes the most sense of all! If you can get a rack with the partitions set on an angle you can vertically stack the lids in a shallower drawer. Does anyone have special pots with deeper domed lids? How do you store those? I have a vintage cast iron pot with a lid shaped almost like a bundt pan, and I don't know where to store it. I plan to keep shallower cast iron skillets (no lids) in the storage compartment of my Chambers Range, but that one pot won't fit. I really want to get a couple nice copper sauciers, and I plan to hang a pot / utensil rail below the hood behind the Chambers and keep those out - won't be in the way like a normal pot rack, and just a couple frequently used pots left out will look like accessories against the backsplash....See Morefstfanoff
