Whether you have a spacious kitchen with a large island or a tiny kitchen that has very limited cabinet space, storing cooking pots and pans can be a challenge.

No matter how large your kitchen, there never seems to be enough room for all the cookware. Pots are bulky, their shapes and sizes vary, and those pesky lids seem to have minds of their own.

👆 Storing pots and pans in the kitchen: ideas and hacks

Storing pans in the kitchen becomes a problem when there are a large number of them. Pots are also added to them, which also need to be placed somewhere. Dishes should always be at hand, but at the same time not interfere with the hostess. The problem of storage is solved by special systems.

Pot and pan storage features

Contents

Housewives love to buy new dishes, but it's a pity to part with old pans and pans. Over time, a huge mountain accumulates, often falling out of the closet after opening the door. In addition to each kitchen item, there are lids. They create an even bigger problem. If you can stack kitchen utensils of different sizes, then such a number does not work with lids. There are many life hacks for storing pans and other utensils on the Internet, but first you just need to clean up the mess.

In the kitchen, only the necessary utensils are left at hand

Only pots and pans that are used are kept in storage. There are no "rubber" systems that can accommodate a dimensionless amount of dishes. The first step is sorting. With the old, not used for a long time kitchen utensils are parted without regret. Throw away dishes with chips, badly burned, with dents.

After the first sorting, counting is carried out again. There are a lot of frying pans left - another part is being cleaned in the pantry. The most necessary items are left for quick access.

Tip! When sorting dishes, they immediately discard the fear that all the products will not fit in the remaining items, however, pans or pots are not intended for storing dishes.

Cooked food is poured into containers, sent to the refrigerator. The vacated pan can be reused for its intended purpose.

After the second sorting, the situation is reassessed. When only the necessary items are left, their number is counted. Based on the results, they are already considering the best method or device for storage.

How to store frying pans in the kitchen

There are various ways and tools to make storing frying pans easier. Most often, special systems are used. They are located in the kitchen, choosing an empty space. Sometimes drawers of cabinets are taken under them.

How to store pots in the kitchen with the ceiling module

Taking up useful kitchen space is not a good idea. Here, every centimeter is important for the hostess. Only the space under the ceiling remains free and useless. Here it just can be used to store kitchen utensils.

The dishes can even be hung over the dining table.

Frying pans can be hung from the ceiling module. The fixture is a frame, usually in the form of a stainless steel frame with many hooks. The module is suspended above the work surface and even the dining table. Hanging pans are not bad taste. Similarly, kitchens are designed in the style of "chalet" or "rustic".

How to store pots and pans in pull-out baskets

Special pull-out systems have been devised to keep dishes out of sight. Their inner part resembles a basket. Here, frying pans are usually stored vertically, that is, they are installed sideways in the cells of a metal grid.

Drawer systems built into kitchen cabinets

Each system has its own characteristics. A basket with movable dividers is considered convenient. The element is moved by hand to the desired distance to make a cell that fits the size of the pan or pan. A vertically standing object is securely fixed, does not create a roar while using the basket.

There are systems for a certain set of dishes, as well as baskets where pots, pans and lids can be stored together. Embed the baskets inside the kitchen cabinet. Fastening is carried out from the inside to the facade. A popular option is a pencil case in the kitchen, where a basket, oven, and microwave are built in. A good place for the system is considered to be a cabinet located next to the sink.

Important! The American system for the domestic cabinet may not be suitable due to size mismatch.

How to store frying pans in the kitchen using roof rails

The railing system is an analogue of the ceiling module. The device is similarly a frame with hooks. However, it can be just a single crossbar, reminiscent of a clothes hanger, or additionally equipped with shelves. Rails are convenient for storing pans and lids. Fix the system on the wall, closet. A place in the kitchen is usually chosen near the stove.

Railings are conveniently placed on the kitchen wall near the stove

However, the place for railings can be not only the kitchen wall. If the house has a staircase to the second floor, then even this wall along the march is sometimes used to hang dishes. Only smoked pans look ridiculous in public. Beautiful expensive dishes are hung here, and decorative elements are attached between adjacent rails.

How to properly store pans with coasters

Housewives are accustomed to stacking kitchen items in the kitchen. This storage method saves space, but the dishes deteriorate. When it has a non-stick coating, scratches will appear on it if you put it in each other.

Stands allow stacking, but do not submerge the smaller item inside the larger item. Kitchen items are placed on a kind of shelf. Such stands are usually made of rods forming cells. Each pan is located on top of each other, only they do not touch each other.

Stands are also called dryers, as they are convenient to dry wet dishes after washing.

Place the stand in a cabinet or on a countertop. There are models fixed on the cabinet door from the inside. It is advisable to put a napkin or towel under the stand so that drops of water flowing from the dishes are absorbed.

Storing pans in a drawer

Modern kitchens are equipped with special cupboards for storing kitchen items. Furniture is a set of drawers. Platforms slide on special guide elements. A feature of the drawers is the presence of a high facade.

If desired, a separating basket can be installed inside and a tray underneath. Pans, lids, pots are placed separately in the separator cells. Moreover, they can be installed vertically, horizontally or at an angle, depending on the design.

Cabinet with drawers can be located under the hob

Pencil cases are created similar to pedestals. The kitchen attribute is narrow, but high. The pencil case is convenient for a small kitchen, as it allows you to store a large number of items due to its height.

Inside the pencil case there are shelves, stands, hooks and other accessories

The inside of the pencil case is equipped for storing various dishes. There may be stands, shelves. There are hooks, holders of covers. Combined cases are popular, where the upper part of the compartments is reserved for storing kitchen utensils, and a dishwasher or oven is built in from below.

Shelves for storing pans

Shelves are considered the simplest device for dishes. They are mounted not only inside cabinets, but also on the kitchen wall. Similar ideas for storing pans have been known for a long time. However, in a modern kitchen, everything should look harmonious.

Shelves look stylish on the walls of the kitchen, harmoniously combined with common furniture.

Shelves should preferably be matched to the overall style of the kitchen. It's good when they are the same color as the wall. The shelves become invisible, unload the space. Creates the effect of frying pans floating in the air.

Organizer for frying pans

An organizer is an analogue of the stand. The holder for storing kitchen items is usually made of stainless wire. The support is the stand on which the cells are located. A frying pan and a lid are vertically placed inside each compartment.

The organizer is installed on the countertop or inside the cabinet

This way of storing allows you to keep a set of dishes in one place. The organizer is placed in a free space on the countertop or placed in a closet. Under the stand spread a towel or napkin to collect the flowing water.

Table side

Handy frying pan holder in the form of a bar with hooks attached to the side of the kitchen table. In fact, this is a normal railing. Pans are hung on hooks by handles. Covers can be inserted between the crossbar and the table wall.

You can hide a decent amount of frying pans on the side of the table

The downside of the idea is the rapid wear of the furniture. Frying pans hitting the wall of the table upholster the coating. Scratches appear. In addition, flowing water adversely affects chipboard. Over time, the side shelf of the table swells and begins to collapse.

Storing dishes in front of a window

Usually there is free space in the kitchen in front of the window. Here, similarly, you can fix the railing on the entire window opening. A garland of kitchen items will replace the blinds. A jumper with hooks is hung at such a height that it is convenient to get the dishes, in addition, it should not cling to the head.

A row of frying pans above the window will replace the blinds

Built-in panel

In the kitchen cabinets are sometimes placed so that there are gaps between the side walls. A small space is unlikely to be useful for anything. If you think about it, you can store pans here too.

Built-in panel for dishes between the side walls of cabinets

Built-in panel in the empty space. Guide elements are required. The panel is a drawer, only it is not horizontal, but vertical. Frying pans, lids and other items are fixed on the wall of the panel with the help of hooks.

Tips for housewives

When storing dishes, it is important to follow the basic rule: kitchen utensils are placed as close to hand as possible, but do not clutter up the space. When using shelves, coasters and other devices, housewives are advised to buy pans not arbitrarily, but as a set. They are designed so that they fit into each other in size, forming a small stack. This method of storage is called "matryoshka".

Kitchen utensils are best stored if purchased in one set

When hung on the wall, all frying pans are visible to all. In order not to spoil the interior of a modern kitchen, old worn items are thrown away or hidden in a closet. Only new kitchen utensils are left in sight.

If the non-stick coating does not allow you to make "matryoshka", there is another trick. Each pan from the set is covered with a lid, but only turned over with the convex side inward. It is now safe to stack items in a stack. Each pan above will stand on a lid.

Options for storing pans and pots in the kitchen

You can't do without a pan in the kitchen. Moreover, in each house there are several of them. For everyday use, pancakes, stewing, plus wok, stewpan. All this needs to be organized somehow.

Consider today the storage of frying pans in the kitchen in drawers, in front of the window, on hooks and all other possible ways. Bonus - accessories for organizing order.

Drawers

Kitchen designers make special drawers for large dishes. It is important not to miss this point when ordering a headset. It is advisable to pre-calculate the height of the boxes, the depth. It is wiser to order one large box under the pans than several small ones. We recommend that you immediately specify the presence of separators, hooks.

Storage methods:

Pan drawer

You can make your own kitchen drawer. A great option for furniture bought a long time ago. The advantage of this method is the ability to accurately calculate the size, think over the location of dividers, hooks, taking into account the amount of your dishes.

Short answer. To store frying pans in the kitchen, built-in drawers, cabinets, Ikea baskets, roof rails and hook bars are used.

Can be stored hanging under or above a window, on the side walls of the headset, wall shelves.

IKEA drawers

Ikea storage systems allow you to compactly arrange a huge number of items in the kitchen. Cutlery, pots and pans do not take up much space. We recommend to take a closer look at the boxes and baskets.

Ikea also offers a wide variety of holders and dividers. The retractable organizer deserves special attention. It is a bar with hooks and a special mechanism. She goes forward, makes it easy to get the desired item.

Hooked

The vertical storage system is now at the peak of popularity. Therefore, roof rails are often used for dishes. They are mounted inside the furniture, outside, on the wall. It is important to correctly calculate the length and height. Frying pans with long handles should fit, do not touch horizontal surfaces. Hooks can be nailed directly to the wall.

How to store pans on the wall

How to properly store pans on hooks:

The roof rails are placed above the stove, the working surface of the headset. A non-standard solution is to hang it from the ceiling. Depends on the height of the kitchen. Removing the frying pan should not turn into an obstacle quest. Sometimes real forged hooks are hung from the ceiling. Only they do not fit into every interior.

Adhesive plastic hooks are not suitable for frying pans. It is necessary to firmly nail, screw metal analogues to the wall.

On wall shelves

Kitchen shelves are often occupied by vases, figurines, crystal glasses. This is great when there is a lot of free space. If not, you need to use practical surfaces. Wide shelves are chosen for pans. The bottom, sides, handles should not hang down.

Pan holder

Highlights:

Ikea shelves are a good solution for the kitchen. The store offers interesting multi-level models, ready-made storage systems. There are options with hooks, rods under a horizontal surface. They are used for ladles, strainers, colanders. But you can also hang light frying pans of small diameter.

Main points:

To save space, you can replace the shelves with Ikea pull-out baskets. Such designs allow you to accommodate a large number of items. We recommend using all sorts of separators. They will prevent mixing of items, help maintain order.

Special drawer for frying pans

In front of the window

An interesting storage solution for small kitchens. It allows you to use the wall under the windowsill in the absence of radiators. The disadvantage is that at a low location a lot of dust settles, animal hair gets in. We recommend hanging higher.

Suitable options:

The method is more suitable for windows with blinds, compact roller blinds. Any moving species will quickly get dirty.

Do not place pans in front of windows for ventilation. Street dust will settle.

On the surface

Sometimes there is no space in the lockers. Then the kitchen utensils are placed on top of them or left on the work surfaces. For accuracy, we recommend purchasing special stands. They are miniature shelves.

Open storage in the kitchen is a good choice for pans that are used daily. The method is not the most hygienic. Frequent washing required. Dust settles on the surface, splashes fall. It is advisable to cover the countertop with cloth, paper. A good option is cling film. It does not spoil the view, reliably protects the furniture.

Benefits of open storage:

Cons:

On the wall of the stairway

The wall of the closed staircase is a usable area. You can hang a shelf. But space doesn't always allow. Therefore, single hooks, railing, wooden slats are more often attached.

A great way to store - wooden grate, hanging panel. In addition to pans, decor is placed on it - beautiful plates, interesting Turks, spacing with handles. The place of storage turns into a highlight of the interior.

When using suspended structures, wall protection is required. Well, if it is painted with washable paint. Otherwise, we recommend sticking a film, moisture-proof wallpaper.

    Storing pots and pans in the kitchen

    There are many options for storing pots and pans in the kitchen. We've rounded up incredible pan and pot layout ideas that will blow your mind. We will secretly tell our readers all the tricks of different ways of storing pots.

    Pots and Pans Storage

    Choosing the right storage space will not only save space in your kitchen, but can also complement your kitchen décor by keeping dishes in plain sight. The most common storage options for pans and pots:

    • in wall or floor cabinets,
    • in large drawers,
    • vertically on the wall with organizers,
    • on open racks and shelves.

    The pull-out system is often used in large kitchens where pans are lined up and covered with lids. The downside of the pull-out system is that the dishes take up a lot of space. This slows down the time to find the right pot or pan during cooking.

    Open storage is popular today. Full height shelving and hanging shelves are the most common and modern alternatives to kitchen units. The disadvantage of this method is dust. The big plus is that you choose your dishes more carefully. Open storage promotes minimalism.

    Metal lids should preferably be stored separately from pots and pans. The railings installed on the cabinet doors are perfect for this. Glass lids should be especially protected from damage. Any careless movement can ruin the cover. The use of cracked and chipped lids in the cooking process is unsafe for the health of households. Therefore, organize a separate place for storing lids from pots and pans.

    Ways to store pots and pans

    Where to store the pots in the cupboard or on the wall depends on the space in the kitchen. In a small room, it is better to place dishes in a cupboard like a “pyramid” or “matryoshka”. The principle of this method is that a smaller pot is placed inside a larger pot.

    The most practical way to store pots and pans is to arrange them in alternating pan-pot, pan-pot or vice versa. The pot is placed in the pan. The whole regiment is forced by such pairs. With such storage, it will be much easier and faster to get the dishes. The lids are stored separately in the rails, or you can use the plate dryer.

    One way to store pots is hanging storage. It is necessary to place hooks on the ends of the cabinet or shelves. Pots need to be hung by the handles on hooks. You can place them in sequence from the largest pan to the smallest. In this version, the pots are not only a practical item, but also a decoration of the kitchen. This storage option saves space and time for choosing the right thing for the hostess. All elements are in plain sight.

    Pot and pan storage

    One of the most convenient ways to store pots and pans is on rails. They can be homemade or purchased. Furniture stores sell a range of organizers that save space and hold the entire kitchen set:

    1. small hanging vertical pan rails,
    2. vertical metal holders,
    3. variable compartment organizers,
    4. specialized pan storage systems,
    5. dish dryer.

    Keeping things organized will be easy and fun. In the most popular stores like ikea and hoff, you will find plenty of options for placing pots and pans for kitchens of any size. Moreover, these organization options can be used not only in boxes, but also on open racks. Do not store damaged utensils as they may be harmful to health.

    Preparing for proper storage of pots and pans

    Many housewives do not realize that careful handling of the pot affects its life. Here we will talk about the basic rules for the proper use of pots and pans.

    After washing, before putting the pots back into the cupboard, dry the dishes thoroughly. Leave them in the dryer until completely dry or dry them with a towel. So you will avoid quick damage to your utensils.

    Preferably cook food on medium or low heat and be careful not to burn the food. So dishes made of any material will last for many years. If, nevertheless, the dishes are burnt, do not immediately scrape them with a sharp object, otherwise you will damage the structure of the enamel or Teflon coating. In this situation, it is necessary to let the pan stand in a soapy solution for 1-2 hours. Then, with smooth movements, without pressing hard, you can clean off the burnt layer using a metal brush.

    Conclusion

    Cooking pans in the kitchen can be stored inside the oven when not in use. Many modern gas stoves have a drawer at the bottom. He, too, will go under the kitchen utensils. You just need to look closely, find these empty places and use them for their intended purpose.

    Ideas for storing pots and pans in the kitchen: convenient, practical and beautiful

    Contents:

    • Look around the space
    • Perforated wall panel
    • Stands, stands
    • Railing system with hooks
    • Sections in a drawer cabinet
    • Where to put the covers

    Storing pots and pans in the kitchen can be creative. You have to use your imagination when there are too many utensils and not enough space. It's good that the manufacturers have already thought of everything and provided us with the opportunity to quickly improve our home.

    Look around space

    Pots and pans are stored in the kitchen shelving along with cereals, flour and a range of other foods and spices. If everything you need does not want to fit in one place, then you should reconsider the contents of the cabinets. Surely some items are rarely used or completely forgotten. Move them to the pantry, donate them, unusable ones - throw them away. Put the most necessary utensils in the foreground.

    Organizations require not only dishes, but also products. It makes sense to prepare containers, attach additional hooks, gratings and shelves. And in order for the placement of pots to be not only convenient, but also aesthetic, pay attention to the methods described below.

    Perforated wall panel

    This fixture is simply indispensable for small kitchens. A sheet of perforated steel or plywood is mounted on the wall. Holders for pots, pans and other utensils are attached to it. It is possible to store metal appliances without hooks, but with the help of magnetic systems.

    Pegboard looks very appropriate in the kitchen, do not be afraid of such design decisions. Models are available in different colors and shapes. It is not only original, but also very functional. The board is suitable for any area: its dimensions are adjusted. The most budgetary and miniature variety is magnetic tape.

    Advice
    It is recommended to mount all accessories at the height of your height so that you do not expose yourself to chairs and ladders every time.

    Stands, stands

    Many housewives found the pot rack system very convenient and attractive. A special organizer has several slots, including for covers.

    The Swedish IKEA store offers a wide range of tools to better organize your kitchen. There you can buy additional coasters that fit in cabinets, hanging baskets, racks and more.

    Railing - system with hooks

    Shelves with hooks for hanging culinary utensils can be placed anywhere. The most convenient location for the railing is next to the hob. This makes cooking convenient and fast. By the way, this system can have not only hooks, but also various stands.

    Not all housewives approve of the placement of rails near the stove, as during cooking, drops of fat get on the dishes.

    Other options for placing rails and hooks are on the side of the cabinets and inside, above the window and even under the ceiling if it is high enough. Pretty pans in plain sight - this is an original solution for a country-style interior. Important: when installing the hanging system, make sure that it does not interfere with walking.

    Miss Clean magazine advises keeping pots and lids in good condition if they are placed in plain sight. Thoroughly wash them from soot so that they shine.

    Tip
    If there is no space for a railing, simply drive a couple of nails into the wall or shelf, or glue special decorative hooks with good glue.

    Sections in drawer

    If you're lucky enough to have a large drawer that can hold all your pans and pots, including their lids, here's an idea. It will simplify this organization as much as possible: make a division into sections for each individual utensil and at least two tiers so that the cabinet is filled to the brim, and not just at the bottom. Items will not be mixed, each will have a soybean niche. You can build partitions and shelves from thin wooden boards. It is worth adding hinges so that the shelves open, revealing the lower tier.

    Where to put covers

    Pot and pan lids can sometimes be more difficult to place than the dishes themselves. They are all different, with convex handles that do not allow stacking utensils normally.

    The best option is an organizer on the cabinet door.
