Storage pans in the kitchen

Every housewife often raises the question of how to organize the storage of kitchen utensils, especially when it comes to pans or their sets, which take up a lot of space in a small kitchen. This article will discuss how to correctly divide the space for storing pans and what methods exist for this.

The design of modern kitchens is often equipped with a device for storing pans and pots. Additional technical organizers help to properly place a large number of dishes. Such a kitchen device does not need extra storage space. But the kitchens, which have long been equipped with furniture, require some attributes for placing dishes.

This problem applies to those rooms that are small in area. In small kitchens, additional cabinets or chests of drawers are not always placed, so there are several ways to place pans in such a room.

First, it’s worth sorting the dishes, taking them out of the cabinets and shelves. Then you should evaluate the number of products, size, shape and frequency of use. It is also necessary to assess the condition of the dishes. Often, shelves become dusty and take the place of utensils that can no longer be used. It is worth paying attention to a few ideas.

• Placement of pans in the form of a pyramid. This option is suitable for high shelves.
• On low shelves you can place dishes on the principle of nesting dolls. This method is more suitable for pans with removable handles.
• Separators for dishes. There are three types of special dividers: horizontal, vertical and with the installation of rounded shelves.Separators are placed on the shelves of kitchen tables or in a special compartment. It will look like this: pans are placed in the middle, and lids and other utensils are stored on the sides. Separators can also be made with your own hands. As a rule, they are designed based on the size and height of the utensils.
• Drawers and structures are not only convenient, but also have the property of ventilation. The retractable system is designed for a certain height of the dishes and has special platforms for lids. Metal lid holders are located on the platform, so that the lids are in the lateral position, which greatly saves space. Drawers with platforms are the most convenient device for storing pans and lids, but at the same time they can be called the most expensive way to create free space.
• One of the cheapest options is to store pans in the oven. Some additional designs are not required. You just need to put the dishes in the oven.

There is a special hole on the handle of the pan. Thanks to this hole, the pan can be hung on a hook. The location of the hooks is a private matter. But for convenience it is better to equip a place near the hob. There are several ways to place pans.

Ordinary hooks or holders mounted on the wall or inside cabinets will help to place a large number of pans. No special effort is required here. You need to find free space on the wall of the kitchen or on the inner cabinet door. If desired, the space can be originally designed and then fasten the hooks.

Some designers advise displaying dishes. To do this, there are special designs called roof rails. A stylish organizer with hooks allows you to place not only pans, but also pots with stewpan. The railing design allows you to change the place of the hook or add a hook for additional utensils.

This device can be located both on the wall and on the inner surface of the cabinet door. And also exist ceiling railing models. For such placement, you need to choose a place where no one will bang his head on the hanging dishes. Besides, the weight of the dishes and the strength of the ceiling must be taken into account.

Hinged boards, panels and grids with hooks will also help to save space. These are open type organizers. They are placed on the wall, so you should pay attention to the condition of the dishes. Utensils that are always in sight are capable of collecting soot and plaque. Most often, these pans are decoration of the kitchen wall, so the dishes should be cleaned to a shine and without the slightest contamination.

There is a special type of cabinets and cabinets, which are equipped with low shelves for placing kitchen utensils. To save space in a conventional cabinet, use stands for pans. This is very convenient, because each pan has its own separate stand. They are made of plastic or metal. Such attributes for placing pans are of two types: supports for vertical placement and in the form of a dryer suggest placing dishes in a horizontal position.

Stands in the form of a dryer are suitable for low shelves in kitchen cabinets.Stands of the vertical type are used for storing pans on open shelves or in cabinets with large internal spaces. Vertical or horizontal supports can also be placed on the countertop. There are special holders for pans. They are made of metal and wood. The design is similar in purpose to the towel holder. They are placed on the inside of the cabinet door or side panels.

You can correctly design a space and save space using improvised means. To hang pans, you can use an ordinary clothes hanger. Pans are placed on stronger hooks, large stewpots and pans are placed on the shelf of the coat rack, and for the convenience and convenience of comfort, kitchen potholders and towels can be hung on the front of the structure.

A board with perforations for hooks will also be an interesting addition to the interior. The principle of use is the same as that of the hinged panels and boards. A special board of plywood is taken, hooks are inserted, dishes are hung. On such boards you can place small and large pots, stewpan and pans. In addition, at any time and at no particular cost, you can change the color and texture of such a device.

Lids from pans also require a lot of space. The easiest way to store items is to place the lids together with the plates in a dish dryer. But for convenience it is preferable to use a long device: the dishes are washed, the covers are not far from the plates - everything is systematized. Of the minuses of such storage, it is worth noting narrow cells that do not always fit the size of the covers.

There are also universal stands for covers. Such a device can be placed both inside the cabinets and on the shelves or surface of the countertop. There are options for hanging stands. They can be placed anywhere: on the inner cabinet door, wall, railing or side panel. The organizer has cells for different cover diameters. The most common lid storage option is drawer shelf. But this method is not suitable for placement of enamelled covers; chips may appear.
