How to store roasting trays

10 replies

mylifeisgood · 11/05/2015 11:05

Planning new kitchen.....
I have been looking online and found some much needed ideas for storage of baking trays/trays/chopping boards. All good.
However, it occurs to me that the pictures all show storage of shallow trays. We also have a 2 maybe 3 deep roasting trays - as well as pyrex dishes/shallow casserole dishes.

Can I ask if anyone has any good ideas for storing these deeper items, so that things can be accessed without the usual banging and clashing avalanche of tins?

Also, pan lids. We have a couple of le creuset style casserole dishes that we use a lot. If we have a deep pan drawer, how do we get around the problem of not being able to pile the pans on top of each other because we have to have the pan lids in the drawer too? I have never had an organised pan drawer, so haven't a clue.

Many thanks....

I just store my deeper trays on a shelf in the oven when not in use, probably not the ingenious answer you were looking for!

I fit lots of pots in my pot drawer by putting the lid on upside down and then sitting the next smallest pot on top.

My pans are in drawer, lids on, single layer. Watch the weight that the drawer can take especially for cast iron stuff.

Shallow baking trays are upright in a bakeware organiser thing that I have had for years from Lakeland. This is also used to store shopping boards, large and small.

For the deep roasting pans, I only have 4 so they just stack in a drawer.

My entire kitchen is larder drawer cabinets, so it has a drawer at the top then what looks like a door but you pull it out, the bottom drawer is attached to the door front then I have a hidden drawer inside.

It is the old Ikea kitchen and in the crockery cupboard I put in an extra drawer. Like this

Our main baking tray is stored on the oven.

I have a narrow cupboard that stores chopping boards and trays.

I've actually gotten rid of lots of saucepans - how many can you even use at a time? I now have : a fry pan, a wok, a medium saucepan with double steamer, 2 small saucepans, one big soup pot. Most if the time I only use 1-2 at a time.

I put my deep ones on top of the wall cupboards. Thinner ones go in my amazing tardis pan drawer. I have literally no idea how all my pans, pan lids and baking trays fit in that drawer...but they do.

I have a pan lid rack from Ikea. Very useful.

I use a stainless steel rack from Lakeland for my pan lids. As I am short of drawers I also have SS floor standing rack for my saucepans. For the roasting pans etc. I have wide 'tray storage' spaces as part of my hand made kitchen and I store them in there. As I have an Aga I can't store them in the oven as it is always on. Did use ordinary oven for storage of large roasting tins before Aga days.

I saw a picture online recently where someone had screwed a magazine rack onto the inside of a cupboard door and used that for pan lids, looked a lot more organised that my pan cupboard.

We have deep, wide drawers.

We don't arrange them like this but it would make me so happy if we did [saddo].

Didn't think of the oven!

Bilbodog, can you describe your wide tray storing spaces? Do you mean the roasting pans stand on their side and slot in, but the slots are a few inches wide for a deep roasting pan?

I am going to look at the pan lid storage thing from Lakeland, as it is really the lids that cause all the hassle. They really get on my nerves, without them some of the pans can sit in each other.

Lots of really helpful suggestions. Thank you so so so much
