How To Choose A Pot Rack For Your Kitchen

I debated whether to rack my cookware for along time. Searched for the right rack for my little space. Racks are helpful to keep your kitchen and your cookware collection organized. A pot rack is a great storage solution for both small and large kitchens. It keeps pots that are too big for a standard cupboard out of the way, and can actually be a great decorative item for the kitchen.

Copper pots and pans are my favorite. I love the way they are displayed on the brick wall with the linear racks - gorgeous & functional! Pots and pans take up a lot of space, but when you're removing upper cabinets or other essential kitchen fixtures in favor of a place to hang items that collect dust and grease, it's defeating the purpose of having plenty of kitchen storage.

What type of pot rack should I buy?
Pot hangers come in two styles: ceiling mounted or wall mounted. Some are even designed to include a bookshelf for your cookbooks, and there’s also the less common option of a freestanding pot stand. The design you choose will depend on how many pots and pans you plan to hang from your pot and pan rack, whether you have available space on your ceiling, wall or floor, and, most important, whether your ceiling or wall can bear the weight.

If you use your cookware daily, you may want to store it on a shelf right above the range. If you opt to store cookware in the open and you cook often, you'll want to have a vent hood that can pull grease out of the air and exhaust it to the outside, so that your pots and pans don't end up covered in grease. After years of trying to fit pots & pans in a cupboard or in the drawer under the oven, we added a hanging place during our DIY kitchen remodel a few years ago. I love them.

Enclume CWS8 8-Tier Cookware Stand, Hammered Steel
I was skeptical to spend this much money on a cookware stand, but it is well worth the expenditure. It is structurally quite sound, and you will not really appreciate it's beauty until after you have placed your cookware on it. 8-tier cookware stand keeps pots within easy reach when ceiling or wall space isn't available. Cold-riveted steel frame won't warp or twist. Tripod design is the most stable on floors; open sides allow pot handles to protrude.  The stand comes fully assembled and is very well made and stable. The Amazon price is excellent compared to competitor sites and the shipping price currently charged is extremely competitive.

Glideware Cookware Organizer with 7 Hooks
Designed to fit any standard depth cabinet - installation in a full height cabinet is recommended to hang larger cookware.  I really like that the direction of the hooks can be changed (to face the front or side) to accommodate different pots and pans without a using screwdriver. You just pick the hook up, turn it and drop it back in. We decided to hang our pans in an upper pantry cabinet and I knew they would probably get an little extra pull from being up high. I am not worried at all about this product. It is SOLID, well built and it really does "glide"!!
