To ask where you store your pots and pans?

[SparrowInTheHedge]

I am on the verge of throwing mine out and living on microwave meals for the rest of eternity.

An enormous bloody kitchen cupboard is wasted on 2 frying pans and 3 pots and one tiny milk pan.

I only have a small kitchen so this feels like a monument waste of space.

I have this from Ikea

And some of these

Pots hang below and lids go on top. Really simple and practical and saves hours of hunting for the right lid or trying to wrestle the small pot from the tangle of big pots.

It's literally one handle so you unclip it and take things out one by one. Here's a link, I'm sure you could get them cheaper elsewhere but I think they're ideal if you're short on space.

Pan draw with pans stacked

Just in a simple kitchen cupboard all stacked up.

Stupid* questions that should be...

Not sure if anyone has mentioned them but Tefal do an ingenio range I think it's called, with one handle that fits all the pans so they all stack together nicely.

Is it literally one handle? What if you need to cook multiple things? Excuse my did questions.

I've got a small kitchen and had a problem with pan storage. So what I've done is, on a small wall I hammered a nail in the wall for each pan and I hang the pans on the wall (the pan handle has a hole) and It actually looks quite nice too.

If I wasn't in bed I would have taken a picture but I'm too lazy to get up.

[DramaAlpaca]

In a cupboard under the gas hob. It's overflowing with them and I really need to reorganise it.

[caringcarer]

Megan, I do like your pans hanging from ceiling.

[caringcarer]

My numerous saucepans, lids and frying pan live in the corner cupboard. Casterole dishes in bottom of wide pan drawer.

In the cupboard under the sink.

In a pan draw.

I just don’t have enough cupboard and drawer space. Besides I prefer them hanging - easier to grab without faffing around with a stack of pans, and less likely to get damaged. I also have all my utensils on hanging racks rather than in drawers. It’s much more convenient, and there isn’t much that doesn’t get used regularly so it all gets cleaned frequently enough.

Stacked up in the cupboard. They take up most of the bottom shelf of a double unit, with the top shelf having the plates, bowls, and sieves. But then we have a kitchen that, while small, is not unreasonably so.

Hanging them seems like a recipe for the ones you rarely use getting coated in dust.

[JKRowlingTransExplosion]

Hanging rack above the sink - I wash the pans and up they go. Made it myself by installing a sturdy shelf and fixing Ikea hook rails to the underside. Cheap as chips.

I keep the lids in a separate wall mounted lid rack. Only things in the cupboards is a few big stock pots and roasting dishes.

I have the Tefal ingenio ones. They all nest inside each other and are great for my small kitchen.

I chose the induction ones because they felt heavier and they still look good two years on, the non-stick is unmarked.

I wash them by hand though, not dishwasher.

[Cheesesteak]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned them but Tefal do an ingenio range I think it's called, with one handle that fits all the pans so they all stack together nicely. Not sure on the quality of Tefal but might be worth a look.

[SparrowInTheHedge]

I like the hanging idea. I have a cast iron pan that lives on the hob permanently as it is.

The kitchen is a one sided galley, so really small, I'm not exaggerating. It's 3.5m long.

Pan drawer

[Couchbettato]

I have 3 saucepans which get used almost daily so they get washed, dried and put back on top of the hob. My frying pan and wok are in a cupboard on top of each other. It's not a cupboard specifically for them. I don't understand how any one could need a cupboard just for pots and pans.

[Megan2018]

Pan rack on the ceiling

[TimeWastingButFun]

Frying/pancake pans etc hanging up in the alcove above the cooker and saucepans in a rack beside.

[Justgorgeous]

Can you hang them somewhere?
