Kitchen Pots and Pans Storage Ideas for the Remodel You’ve Been Planning

Even for those who have a large walk-in pantry, the location of pots and pans storage is key. Some cooks prefer them close to the oven or stove, some hanging overhead, and others in one consolidated area. Let’s take a look at these options.

Glide-Outs for Pots and Pans Storage

When the kitchen permits, placing glide-outs near the oven makes it easier to lift pots and pans onto the stove. You can give each pot/pan its designated space with enough glide-outs. By doing this, putting back and retrieving is easier. No more unstacking and re-stacking to get the pots you want! Plan it so all the pots/pans you own fit on gliders. Check out other drawer glider styles here.

Drawers for Pots and Pans Storage

This option tends to be the most popular. The slide-out drawer for lids is an excellent idea; however, you can use it for baking sheets if that doesn’t work for you. Generally, a kitchen design should include at least two pot drawers. One isn’t enough. Like the glide-out cupboard above, you can also place pot/pan drawers next to the stove for easy access. Be sure to check the depth of the drawer design, so it accommodates your deeper pots. Check out other pot/pan drawer storage designs here.

Pots and Pans Overhead Storage

This design is the least popular; however, it’s ideal for a decorative display if you have lovely copper pots. The downside is obvious; if you’re not tall, decorative or not, it’s an inconvenience. However, some can be built to be lowered. Your imagination only limits the design choices for pot racks. You can choose style, color, and size. Check out a variety of styles here.
