Pull Out Pot and Pan Organizer

When you need a particular pan, do you have to dig under a pile of pots and pans to find it? If so, then you need a pull-out pot and pan organizer. It fits into your lower cabinet and pulls out when you need to find a pan.

The organizer has adjustable dividers that allow you to customize which pots go where. The dividers allow you to maximize your storage space.

Wall-mounted Open Shelves

Open shelves offer a handy place to put just about anything in a kitchen. Mount a shelf close to the stove and keep cooking essentials close. Place one above the stove to place herbs and spices for easy access. Anyplace you have empty wall space is a possible spot for an open shelf.

Wall-Mounted Utensil Bars

Counter space is always at a premium in kitchens. An easy way to free up some of that prime real estate is to install a wall-mounted utensil bar. The bar offers space to hang pots and cooking utensils, close to where you need them. You gain counter space without losing the convenience.

Rolling Cart

Need a versatile storage option that doesn't take up a great deal of space? A rolling cart is a perfect alternative. Select one with several stacked bins for maximum storage. Or, go for one with a counter on top for extra workspace, plus storage.

Don't get stuck scrambling for extra storage in the middle of your kitchen’s busiest time, preparing holiday meals, get your cooking space organized ahead of time, with these easy TO DO kitchen storage ideas.
