Storing pans in the kitchen

Every housewife often has a question about how to properly 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 storage space for pans and what methods exist for this.

Modern kitchen designs often include storage for pans and pots. Additional technical organizers help to correctly place a large number of dishes. Such a kitchen arrangement does not need extra storage space. But kitchens, which have long been equipped with furniture, require some attributes for the placement of dishes.

This problem applies to those rooms that are small in area. Small kitchens don't always have additional storage cupboards or dressers, so there are several ways to place pans in such a room.

To begin with, it is worth sorting the dishes, getting them out of the cabinets and from the shelves. Then you should evaluate the number of products, size, shape and frequency of use. And also it is necessary to assess the condition of the dishes. Often on the shelves, dust collects and takes place utensils that have long been unused. There are a few ideas worth noting.

• Placement of pans in the form of a pyramid. This option is suitable for high shelves.
• On low shelves, you can place dishes like nesting dolls. This method is more suitable for pans with removable handles.
• Dividers for dishes. There are three types of special dividers: horizontal, vertical and with the installation of rounded shelves.Dividers are placed on the shelves of kitchen cabinets 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. Dividers can also be made by hand. As a rule, they are designed based on the size and height of the utensil.
• Drawers and structures are not only convenient, but also have the property of ventilation. The pull-out system is designed for a certain height of the dishes and has special platforms for lids. The metal lid holders are positioned on the platform, so the lids are in the lateral position, which significantly saves space. Platform drawers are the most convenient storage space for pans and lids, but they are also the most expensive way to create space.
• One cheap option is to store the pans in the oven. No additional constructions are required. You just need to put the dishes in the oven.

There is a special hole on the handle of the frying pan. Thanks to this hole, the pan can be hung on the hook. The location of the hooks is everyone's personal business. But for convenience, it is better to equip a place near the hob. There are several ways to arrange pans.

Ordinary hooks or holders mounted on the wall or inside cabinets can accommodate a large number of pans. No special effort is required here. Find a free space on the kitchen wall or inside cabinet door. If desired, the space can be decorated in an original way and then fastened with hooks.

Some designers advise flaunting dishes. For this, there are special designs called roof rails. The stylish organizer with hooks allows you to place not only pans, but also pots with saucepans. The railing design allows you to change the location of the hook or add a hook for additional crockery.

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

Hanging planks, panels and grates with hooks can also help save space in the right way. These are open-type organizers. They are placed on the wall, so you should pay attention to the state of the dishes. Dishes that are visible all the time are capable of collecting soot and plaque. Most often, such pans are a decoration of the kitchen wall, therefore utensils must be cleaned to a shine and free from the slightest contamination.

There is a special type of cabinets and pedestals, which are equipped with low shelves for placing kitchen utensils... To save space in a regular closet, use pans for pans. This is very convenient, because there is a separate stand for each frying pan... They are made from plastic or metal. Such attributes for placing pans are of two types: supports for vertical placement and in the form of a dryer assume the placement of dishes in a horizontal position.

For low shelves in kitchen cabinets, stand in the form of a dryer is suitable.Stands of the vertical type are used for storing pans on open shelves or in cabinets with a large interior space. Vertical or horizontal stands can also be placed on the worktop. There are special holders for pans. They are made from 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 arrange space and save space with the help of improvised means. You can use a regular clothes hanger to hang the pans. Frying pans are placed on more durable hooks, large saucepans and pots are placed on the hanger shelf, and for convenience and comfort, you can hang kitchen potholders and towels on the front of the structure.

Hooks perforated board will also be an interesting addition to the interior. The principle of use is the same as for curtain panels and boards. A special plywood board is taken, hooks are inserted, dishes are hung up. Small and large pots, saucepans and pans can be placed on these boards. In addition, at any time and without special costs, you can change the color and texture of such a device.

Frying pan lids also take up a lot of space. The easiest way to store items is to place the lids along with the plates in the dish drainer.... But for convenience, it is preferable to use a long device: the dishes are washed, the lids are not far from the plates - everything is systematized. Of the disadvantages of such storage, it is worth noting narrow cells that do not always fit the size of the lids.

There are also universal lid holders. Such a device can be placed both inside cabinets and on shelves or countertop surfaces. There are options for hanging stands. They can be positioned anywhere: on an inner cabinet door, wall, rail or side panel. The organizer has cells for different cover diameters.
