How do you keep your pots/pans/trays etc in your Kitchen

Literally mine are just chucked in a cupboard, even when I tidy it and it looks nice it isn't practical to get stuff out from the back as I use everything regularly.

How do you store your saucepans, trays etc?

In fact, I was compelled to do a photo, so

here they are.

Does anyone think this is unhygienic please??

i dont see why it would be unhygenic ucm

In my kitchen they'd be grubby (rather than actually unhygienic) because our extractor is crap and anything over the cooker gets covered in a film of grease - ick.
But if you use them all regularly I'm sure they're fine.

UCM, I'm very jealous, I have wanted one of those for ages! I wouldn't have said it was unhygienic either.

I keep trays in the bottom of the oven there is a drawer and I have a big shelf for saucepans

We have a free standing pan stand which dd empties on a regular basis. Was a pain in the ar*e when she was learning to walk as we had to keep moving it out of the kitchen! Lids are in the cupboard under the sink as they are glass and trays are stacked, semi-neatly, in a tall thin cupboard between the fridge and the cooker. Would quite like a hanging thingy but dh says they look untidy

Hmm am wondering if I could turn the bottom two drawers in my drawer unit into a big pan drawer - but don't think everything would fit and of course what do I do with the entire contents of the two drawers.

Perhaps I'll leave in horrid cupboard, keep jamming the door shut and hoping it will get better!!!

We've a corner cupboard with pull out shelves that all the stainless steel items go in, then i have a saucepan rack for the le cruset pans and lids, i barely use them so they are in my utility room up on the wall.

I started by piling up any pots/pans/lids I used on a kitchen surface after I had used/cleaned them.

After a couple of weeks of reusing these pans, I threw away all the other pans etc which were still in cupboards/drawers (i.e. The ones we were not using)

The three pan, three pan lids and 2 frying pans now are hung on rails on my kitchen walls/pan lid rack and it looks so tidy

As FLY lady says you can't organise clutter, you have to sort it.

lucykate · 20/04/2007 14:22

saucepans etc are in 2 pan drawers, trays are in compartment at bottom of range cooker

Washersaurus · 20/04/2007 14:35

Lordy, you are all so organised....my pots and pans are stuffed into any nook, cranny, crevice etc where they will fit in my tiny kitchen - and the ones that don't fit elsewhere live on top of the cupboard units where I will probably never be able to reach them again

I've got a deep drawer for saucepans, frying pans, wok, tava, etc. I have a cupboard above the oven were all the ceramic cookwhere goes. Some of the trays go in the grill, others go on top of the units. So everywhere really!
