AIBU to ask where you store your bastard pots and pans?

[Sadhoot]

Every single time I want to cook anything the thing I need is in the cupboard under a different thing and I have to have a fight with the cupboard and I've just whacked my forehead on the counter trying to retrieve a frying pan

There has got to be a better way.

We have a gas hob. I stack the ones I always use next to the hob. Simple

S hooks on a bar above the sink.

In my bastard cupboard

I need a free standing pan stand! I have mine in a corner cupboard with that “swing out” thing but I still have the problem you describe OP!

I have an understairs cupboard in one corner of my kitchen, quite deep but only half height, it was a jumble of free standing shelves and evrything stuffed away.
My genius joiner built shelves, racks for lids and other equipment, put in big hooks and sorted out the whole cupboard for me, even lights that come on when I open the door.
Only charged me £100 for the whole job!

I hang mine up with hooks on a metal shelf/rack- the lids go on the shelf bit.

Like this

Metal rack with hanging bar for hooks.

Mainly because I don't have enough cupboard space or any drawer at all shit kitchen design but it works so much better.

Pan drawers. Game changer.

The lesser used ones are in a couple of cupboards near the cooker and the every day pans and frying pans/pancake pan are hanging on hooks above the cooker.

Oh and a drawer for the lids. Old farmhouse kitchen so no modern pan drawers here.

Well they were nicely stacked in a cupboard. It was a bit of a faff, but not too bad.
Now it's Ds1's job to empty and stack the dishwasher my pan cupboard has everything slung in it from a significant distance. Think "just lost a game of jenga".
I only mastered the tupperware by slinging a lot of it away.

Pan drawers beneath the hob. The majority of my bottom kitchen units are pan drawers - yes, they’re more expensive which is why my base units come from Ikea. Saves all the knee bending as well as the eye level oven. Love them. I thought that I might upgrade the doors in the future but it’s been nearly a decade and they are perfectly fine as they are.

Stacked in a cabinet, with the "priority" ones near the front and the ones that never get used in the back. A rack/stand thing in the same cabinet (admittedly a large double cabinet) keeps the lids out of the way.

We've just moved house and I have acquired pan drawers; awesome!

Hanger. It was here when we moved in but I think it’s IKEA.

Thank you @Blibbyblobby they are ace!

Pan drawers but I’ve never solved the bastard Tupperware problem.

Mine hang from the ceiling rack on butchers's hooks... hated the rummaging before!

Slung in a cupboard, big ones on little ones, all come crashing out when I want one. Tupperware cupboard of death was culled recently but
has refilled itself by spawning during the hours of darkness.
Oven trays live in the oven and have to be removed every time I want to use it. Need a new kitchen

Pan drawers, they've the best thing in the kitchen!

I've solved the tupperware problem. Hang on, i'll find a picture.

In a fucking cupboard and in a shitting drawer.

Drat. Can't get one now.

Ikea does a fabric two drawer unit. I put lids in the top, and tubs in the bottom. It fits on the top shelf of the lower cupboard. It works great.

Can you post a picture? It sounds like you've cracked it!
