View Full Version : Where do you store your pots & pans and your bakeware
Old fashioned mamma 01-09-2004, 01:42 AM I have them all over. I don't have a very large kitchen and cupboard space is very limited. I have some of my pots and pans in my bottom drawer of my stove, some in one cupboard.
My bakeware is stored if a special spot made just for bakeware in my bottom cupboard.
I really do need more cupboards.
How about you?
Aussie Mamma 01-09-2004, 01:50 AM All of ours is in our cupboards. We have pull out drawers in them so that makes it really nice as well. Hardly any food (really just spices) is stored in our cupboards. We have a pantry in our laundry room and a free-standing pantry for that. Our cupboards are full of dishes, glasses, china, storage containers, bakeware, and cookware.
smnoel 01-09-2004, 02:00 AM I have a lot of cabinet space and the pots and pans are all over in different cabinets. The pots and pans I use most often are all in one cabinet though.
I'd love a separate pantry though. We had one in my parent's house when I was a child.
HappyMom 01-09-2004, 02:31 AM Mine are also spread throughout the cabinets in the kitchen plus in my pantry!!!!! I would love to fit them all in one spot!!!!!!!!! That is one of my goals for this year!
paelthom 01-09-2004, 05:25 PM The ones we use most ofent are in the kitchen cabinets. However, the ones we use rarely, I keep in the basement cabinets. I would love a few more kitchen cabinets. Can you ever really have to many????
summercat 01-09-2004, 08:39 PM I store my pots & pans & smaller bakeware in the draw under the oven. The broilers & lg. cookie sheet & lg. cake pan I store in the oven. I have only have 3 copboards in the kitchen {1 for food, dishes & storage bowls etc} so there isn't any other place to put them.
simplemom 01-09-2004, 10:27 PM I store my pots and pans on a open 3 level shelf in my kitchen. I also has some in a drawer in a kitchen cabinet. I find I am very limited in space too. Our kitchen is very small. I should also put some in the basement, like you Pat. It's a good idea, especially the ones we don't use often.
lacyj 01-09-2004, 11:00 PM We haven't decided on our kitchen cabinets jet. Anyone have suggestions, to limit clutter? If you could change something in your kitchen, what would you change?
thanks,

I would definately not have a very deep kitchen cabinet like we have. It's 7 feet high and I'd say over 2 feet deep....I can never reach the stuff in the back and I often forget stuff...I don't know if this can help you, but this is a problem in our kitchen...
Canadian gardener 01-10-2004, 07:19 PM I have them in 3 different cupboard. My saucepans are beside the stove, my frying pans, in the drawer under the stove, soup pots above the fridge cupboard cause it's high
and my casseroles are tucked under the coffeepot area.
The muffin tins, and roasting pans are in the big corner cupboard.
there isn't room anywhere to have them all together.
calico 01-12-2004, 12:13 AM My baking sheets, loaf pans and frypan are in the drawer at the bottom of the stove. My pots are in the bottom cupboard near the stove. I have a fairly large kitchen but no cupboard space. I would love to have those deep pull out drawers for my pots and pans and bowls.
PrairieRose 01-20-2004, 03:00 PM My pots and pans are stored under my cooktop, baking sheets and muffin tins, pizza pans are stored above the oven. Under the oven you'll find things like a sandwich maker, electric skillet, George Foreman grill, roaster. My bakeware is stored near the fridge in 2 cabinets...I have lots of it, mostly from garage sales.

Quaker Anne 02-08-2007, 12:05 AM Oh yea - once in a great while I have been known to "hide" a pan or two in the oven as a quick clean up when company arrives unannounced. Shhhh!

Edna_E 02-08-2007, 12:49 AM Flat pans in the broiler, large pans in the oven, small ones hang on the wall over the stove. I have almost NO cabinet space. When I use the oven/broiler, the pans that reside there get put on the top of the washing machine for the duration - awkward at best.
violet 02-08-2007, 04:32 AM I have a built in cupboard next to the stove that holds all my pots, pans, anything I cook in.
Except for baking.
I have a built in desk, quite long, with cupboards above and plenty of drawers, below.
Since I don't need a desk in my kitchen, I have turned this into my baking center.
Large mixing bowls in cupbords and in the drawers are my bakeware.
violet 02-08-2007, 04:38 AM Also, is it possible that if you can't store all your cookware in your kitchen that maybe you have too much?
Can you part with some of it?
I have 2 big deep frying pans and a very shallow frying pan we use for pancakes and grilled sandwiches.
I have 3 smaller sauce pans and 2 big soup pots.
That's all I need.
Quaker Anne 02-08-2007, 02:16 PM One of the things we had to clear out for sake of space were the frying pans. How we wound up with so many I'll never know!
