Mine worked so well in my pantry that I ordered another for my mom’s apartment. She's older and couldn't reach the bottom of a stacked pile anyway. Now she just slides a pan out from the rack. It's simple, no tools, and she managed to set it up herself. I'm really glad I got it for her.
The silver steel matches my stainless appliances and doesn't look cheap. It’s also not shiny chrome, more of a brushed finish, which I like. I've had it for a couple months and the finish still looks new. My husband was impressed too, and he never notices kitchen stuff.
The rack itself is great—easy to expand, holds my pans and lids perfectly. But on my smooth wooden shelf, it tends to shift a few inches when I pull a heavy pan out. I put a non-slip mat under it and now it's fine. Not a dealbreaker, just something to know.
I had a stack of five pans that would crash every time I wanted the one at the bottom. Now they're all standing upright and I can grab the one I need without moving the others. The rack is solid and wipes clean easily. It's a simple fix that actually works.
My rental kitchen has this skinny 15-inch cabinet that's totally useless. This rack expanded to just the right size and now I store my saucepans and frying pans in there. It's stable and doesn't tip over when I pull a pan out. Best $30 I've spent on kitchen stuff in a while.
The slots look good in photos, but I have a set of older pans with thick handles that don't fit between the wires. I had to wedge them in sideways, which defeats the purpose a little. For my normal pans and lids, it works well. Just check the slot width against your own handles before buying.
I was skeptical about a $30 organizer, but the steel is surprisingly thick and the welds are clean. I've had it for about six weeks and it hasn't bent or rusted even though my cabinet gets humid from the dishwasher. I measured wrong the first time and had to re-adjust the width—still took no time.
I use this for pans, lids, and my two plastic cutting boards. The boards fit right in the back slots and stay upright. The rack is solid and hasn't slid around. Only reason for four stars is that my really heavy 12-inch cast iron pan sags a bit on the wire, but my regular pans are perfect.
I was expecting some kind of bracket or wall mount, but this just sits flat on the shelf. I pulled the sides to fit my 24-inch cabinet, and it clicked into place. Took me longer to decide which slot to put each pan in than it did to set up. Highly recommend if you want a painless fix.
My nonstick pans were getting scratched from nesting them on top of each other. With this rack, each pan stands alone in its own slot, so no metal-on-coating contact. The 304 steel is a beast and feels strong. My cabinet finally looks organized like one of those Pinterest photos.
I originally wanted it for pans, but the real win is the lid organization. I have a bunch of mismatched pot lids that always fell off the counter, and now each one has its own slot. The rack is sturdy and didn't take more than a couple minutes to adjust. Only minor gripe is the bottom shelf is a bit close to the top slot for tall items.
This was so handy in my home cabinet that I grabbed a second for our RV. The expandable width is perfect for the narrow kitchenette, and the vertical slots keep pans from sliding around when we're driving. The stainless steel wipes down easily after messy camping meals.
I loaded my big cast iron skillet and the wires do flex a little under the weight. It's fine for my lighter stainless and nonstick pans, but I wouldn't trust it with a full Dutch oven. Assembly was quick and it did save space, but I wish the gauge of wire was a bit thicker.
I don't have cabinet space, so I set this right on my kitchen counter next to the stove. The rubber feet keep it from sliding and the vertical slots make it easy to grab a pan mid-cooking. It looks decent too, not like an ugly wire rack. No rust after a month of steam and splatter.
I measured the width of my under-sink cabinet but forgot to check the depth. The rack fits, but my big 12-inch skillet sticks out a bit and the door doesn't close fully. Works great for my smaller saucepans and lids though, and the expansion is smooth. Just measure depth, not just width.
My pans used to be a chaotic pile where I'd yank out the bottom one and hope for the best. This rack took five minutes to expand and slide in, and now I can see every single pan at a glance. The stainless steel feels solid and the slots hold everything from my cast iron to my thin nonstick.
