apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

That's super smaht!

Smart!

Nice! But mine all have knobs. I just use a lid rack from Ikea mounted to the wall above the stove. The pots hang as well, but each from their perspective nail in the wall. At least everything is in one place.

gah i wish we had a spot for a pot rack! i love them

I have one of those grids that Extra Space Storables sold, then discontinued and then had them again with hooks on a stretch of blank wall in my kitchen for those pots I CAN hang and I have a drawer in the bottom of my stove for all of my lids. I store my vintage spatter shield in a crack behind the stove's back and the wall and is held up by the small handle resting on the stove's back splash and is therefore within easy reach when I need it.

I wish I could do a pot rack...they are really a veryvery smart solution...Got all my pots and pans in a circular drawer thing and it sucks...There is something nic about seeing them out and worn in...also inspires you to cook!

I dumped my pot rack. Kitchen looked too junky. I'd love to have some of those nesting pots.

I made my husband remove our pot rack when we got a ceramic cooktop. I was afraid I'd drop a pan on the cooktop and break it. Pot racks are also hard for me to reach as I'm vertically challenged so I don't miss having it at all.

not only do i love the look, and feel, and room saving ability of pot racks, but they make using pots and pans easier! they're the best, and i'm going to do that with my lids now! thanks for the genius idea! love it!

can anyone give me any more info on that specific pot rack?

I ran from the screen to the kitchen to try this one ... my pots DO this! Brilliant!

I saw this at a cooking store and went right home and tried it. It freed up a whole section of a cupboard. I had one old pot with a lid that had a knob. I realized it was redundant and set it free.

I have one of those chrome wire shelf units - bottom shelf, wine rack and a top shelf with a wooden top inset. You know the ones. A bit passé now but ... the wire rack holds pot lids nicely underneath, rather like stacking plates in your dishwasher.

I made my pot hanger out of some some sort of commercial display rack I found at the thrift - 10 chrome hooks welded to a substantial 2x1" chrome bar that's screwed to the ceiling over the kitchen island.

Sanna, that pot rack looks like this one from Crate & Barrel http://www.crateandbarrel.com/family.aspx?c=525&f=5585

I just moved to France and decided it was a good time to get rid of my old crappy inherited pots/pans and buy some grown-up ones. Now I know to make sure the lids have handles! Great idea!!

HA! this is the main reason i've been using to justify wanting new pots lately...too funny. upgraded pots are on my christmas list.

My pots and pans are not a matched set. I bought each separately from different brands, so I don't think they would display well. Maybe some day when I can afford to buy a matched set I'll try the pot rack thing.
