The 15 Best Pot Racks For A More Organized Kitchen

The bulk and weight of heavy cast iron pans poses a storage problem—unless, of course, you have one or two of these heavy-duty pan organizers at the ready. Crafted from stainless steel and capable of supporting up to 100 pounds, the organizer can stow a Dutch oven on the lowest, largest section, plus four additional pans on the slots above.

Reviewers appreciate that the organizer can be positioned vertically or horizontally, and they applaud the design for its durability, quality, and good looks (the organizer is available in five attractive colors, including red and bronze).

If it's a versatile pot rack you're after, add this adjustable option to your cart. Giving you more storage options for your buck, the rack can be assembled in three different ways: vertically with slots on one side, vertically with slots on both sides, and horizontally.

The rubber-coated iron wire "shelves" can be easily positioned (and repositioned) in the upright, slotted part of the organizer, so they can store cooking implements both large and small, from bulky pots to thin cookie sheets.

This rust-proof stainless steel organizer mounts to cabinet doors to keep your pot lids within arm's reach (but out of the way). It can stow four-plus lids within its roomy dividers, each of which sports an S curve to accommodate lid handles and knobs.

The organizer arrives with an adhesive pad to affix the bottom rung to your cabinet, preventing the organizer from clanging against the cabinet and potentially marking or marring the door upon opening and closing.

If you don’t want to shell out a ton of cash, require a lot of storage, or have the space for a wall-mounted rack, this pot rack is worth considering. Not only does it include 10 hooks for hanging pots, but it also features two roomy shelves where you can store more pots, spices, utensils, or anything else you want to get off your kitchen counter and be able to access easily.

The rustproof black iron rack is also a nice aesthetic addition to your kitchen, especially if your design is streamlined and modern. The package includes all of the accessories you need and easy installation directions.

This pot rack is perfect for big cooks in small spaces. It includes a 17-inch single bar crafted from solid metal for durability (plus, it's also easy to clean if you get cooking splatter on it). Beyond pots and pans, it's also a smart fix for smaller kitchen tools you might not have storage for, like measuring cups or spatulas.

Reviewers note it's surprisingly sturdy—one even said they can hang three cast iron pans from it!—and that it's easy to install.

This elegant, streamlined oval pot rack hangs from the ceiling via two 36-inch chains and S-hooks and adds a touch of contemporary elegance to any kitchen. Beautiful hung above a kitchen island, the copper offers and old-world charm you'll love.

Another cool feature is that it doubles as a pendant light: All you need are two 60-watt bulbs to give your work station an extra glow.

This pegboard is great if you have the wall space and need to hang multiple pots and accessories. This industrial style is stronger than conventional pegboards and was designed to withstand the heat and steam of kitchen life. It installs in minutes and features a powder-coated, magnetic finish.

The practical, streamlined board gets high praise from reviewers who “love” how “sturdy it is,” and how it “frees up so much cabinet and counter space.” Others say it’s “easy to hang,” but warn you need a power drill.

This made-in-the-U.S.A. metallic gray pot rack is streamlined with contemporary lines. It features six adjustable pot hooks and comes with installation hardware that suspends the rack at an easy-to-access height from the ceiling. It holds up to 75 pounds of pots. Conservationists will appreciate that the materials used for the rack were purchased from suppliers with sustainable forestry practices.

Reviewers dig this “high-quality pot rack,” adding that it “looks great” and is “easy to install.”

This six-tier pot rack holds a great deal of weight and tucks unobtrusively into a corner of your kitchen. The heavy-gauge steel stand features an elegant oiled bronze, satin nickel, copper, or graphite finish, presenting a perfect marriage of form and function that you can suit to your decor.

Reviewers say it is “easy to assemble,” “great for pot storage,” and a “higher quality than expected” for the price, but others warn it’s not the most “stable” shelving unit.

This no-nonsense rail gets the job of organizing your pots without muss or fuss. It looks great hung on walls in modern or farmhouse-style kitchens and allows you to store multiple pots, pans, and utensils. While the weight capacity isn’t enormous, the rail is an attractive, pared-down space saver that’s easy to mount.

Reviewers say “it’s a great product!” Another reviewer says they like the racks so much, “we own three now. They are sturdy and look great.”

If you have a postage stamp's worth of space to spare, this micro-organizer will help you get a handle on the kitchen clutter. It's perfect for storing narrow pots, skillets, and lids and includes nonslip feet that keep it in place even on slippery countertops. The setup is easy — and no tools are necessary.

One reviewer writes that this “works great! It’s SO much better than stacking my pans and lids.” Others use it in their cabinets instead of on the countertop, and say it’s “the best thing that has ever happened to my cabinets!”

This shelved cast iron rack saves a lot of space and doesn’t take up a ton of room. It will fit nicely over a small kitchen island and is easy to install, with all of the necessary screws, anchors, and hardware included, not to mention easy-to-follow installation instructions.

Reviewers say it's a breeze to install and also love the smaller footprint; that said, some have noted issues with durability when the rack isn't installed properly, so just be careful to follow the instructions.

This wall mount is a fantastic over-the-sink or stovetop option — small enough to suit a teeny space, but big enough to help you accomplish a serious kitchen decluttering if that’s your goal.

You’ll be able to hang several pots, pans, and utensils from the hooks and use the shelf for spices, accessories, or cookbooks. The package comes with mounting and installation hardware, and clear directions. Reviewers say this “strong and sturdy” unit is “well made” and “just right for my space.”

Bring a natural touch to your space by swapping a metal rack for a wooden one. This inexpensive one is held up by sturdy braces and includes both hooks for larger cookware and a shelf for extras (or pots and pans that don't come with a hanging hook).

It's perfectly proportioned for a smaller kitchen, but if you need more storage space than the 25.5-inch width, take a cue from one reviewer: They purchased multiple units and affixed them to the wall next to each other, creating one long pot rack ledge with tons of room.

This rack takes up virtually no space and offers versatile storage (in addition to eight hooks on the main contraption, it also has two that go against the wall for things like kitchen towels or aprons) but the real draw is the rotating organizer. It can spin 360° so you can access whichever pan you need.

The easy installation is another perk. Choose from two options—one includes mounting hardware, the other, glue—and get it set up quickly. One reviewer notes it took all of five minutes.
