There’s an easy fix for cluttered kitchens: a pot rack. Purchasing a rack to organize and store all of your pots (and perhaps a few utensils, too) will transform the look of your kitchen and your ability to start cooking when you need to, without having to reorganize your stovetop or rummage through cabinets looking for the right tool for the job. There are hanging pot racks, stand-alone pot racks, those that make a design statement, and racks that fade into the background. No matter what kind of design style suits your space, you’ll find a range of options in different sizes and at different price points below.

Best Rack for Cast Iron

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).

      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.

      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.

      Best Budget Wall-Mounted Rack

      Sorbus Kitchen Wall Mounted Rack

      Sorbus Kitchen Wall Mounted Rack

      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.”

      Best Wooden Rack

      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.

      Best Rotating Rack

      Prep & Savour Standard Hook Wall Mounted Pot Rack

      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.
