YouCopia StoreMore Expandable Pan and Lid Rack, 12.5"-22" Wide Adjustable Pan Organizer for Kitchen Cabinet Storage, Classic Edition

Pots and pans have always lived in the corner cabinet. After years of stacking, banging, and lids getting pushed way to the back, which you know is hard to reach, pans are finally organized. Once we got the idea to rack them vertically, we measured the depth of all the skillets and lids (saucepans would be too wide) and knew we needed around 20” or better, so the small racks were out right away. We looked at several styles and decided that metal was too scratchy, some dividers were too short, and others just didn’t look sturdy. We found this brand, found that the expandable version went over 20”, and thought that plastic was less scratchy to pans. The only thing we weren’t sure about was the channel down the middle that didn’t look as wide as others. We wondered if the pans would be sturdy or roll about. But we deemed this the best option, so into the cart it went. The pan rack arrived quickly and went together in a jiffy. We put it together and organized it up on the counter so it was easier to rearrange until we were happy. Then we moved it down into the cabinet and what a difference it makes! It’s a bit wider than one side of the cabinet, as you can see by the 90-degree lip of the shelf in the picture. If you were to draw an imaginary straight line to the back of the cabinet, it extends into that no man’s land of the corner angle, but that’s okay, because it still leaves the whole other right-hand half of the 90-degree shelf open for saucepans and other things. The handles are now sitting right on the edge of the shelf, so they’re real easy to grab and slide out without the clanging of stacked pans. If you’re wondering if the lids on the right side that are sitting in that middle section of the cabinet are easy to reach – yes! They look deep in there, but in this upright position, it’s a mere bend and grab, as opposed to squatting and fumbling through a noisy pile of cookware sliding all around. As far as the channel in the middle, yes it seems a bit narrow, especially for the big pans. But it’s holding everything okay, considering the handles rest on the shelf. The dividers are tall enough to hold everything up, except we decided the biggest lid works best on the end so it leans against the cabinet. We adjusted the dividers to give a bit more room to the lids. Even though they’re designed to allow room for the handle, if that handle nests into the personal space of the next lid too much, it’s hard to slide the lid out. We didn’t want them too loose and leaning, but this configuration seems to work for now. This was a good rack choice, and if we want to organize anything else, we’ll look and see what other contraptions this company offers.

Exactly what I needed to store platters and a pizza stone under a small hutch.

Perfect for my pans and lids! Seems like the style would work with a variety of lid types compared to others I’ve looked at. Love YouCopia products. Took only a few minutes to put together and organize my cabinet. I’ve purchased other styles too and love them all! Seems like it will hold up over time too.

Have a set of the pot lid organizers. They are great, nice and stable with a thick base. Smooth plastic, easy to clean. Takes a smidge to get the wires in and out, but it is easy to assemble and versatile. The storage is a little bit lacking, you don’t realize how much room lids take until you try and use this type of device. Which is what lead to the adjustable version. It has the same qualities as the other, however the plastic base is not as thick. The stability is ok, but may not use it with xl heavy items. Good value. Final thoughts; pay attention to the measurements, and compare the different wire heights and their uses, so that the item will stay comfortably in place and not flop over,

Got this yesterday, installed it this morning. Cabinet storage space is limited in my small kitchen, and quality pans with long handles have been a nightmare to store and retrieve. Thanks to this expandable vertical pan/lid rack, I can pull out a pan and its matching lid without disturbing everything else in the cabinet for the first time in 25 years. I highly recommend setting it up on your kitchen counter and playing with different pan/lid configurations til you're happy with the result before moving the empty rack to your cabinet and filling it as planned. I've already ordered a smaller fixed length one to tame my platters in a high, tall cabinet. After seeing how helpful these are, I'm ordering another expandable rack to store the tempered glass baking pans and matching lids in a low rectangular space at the base of another cabinet. Will solve my challenge of Christmas and birthday gifts for friends this coming year. Highly recommended!

This organizer is practical, sturdy, and my favorite part is the option to expand. It fits either style of common pots and pans lids (they don’t all) allowing yon to maximize cabinet space! I loved the added touches like the card explaining a little bit about the c company! As a professional organizer I highly recommend this product.

Works well for me, sturdy and yet flexible for all our lids. Definitely solved the lid organization issue in our cabinet

I moved from a house into a condo with a very small kitchen. I bought this as a way to stack pans and lids on a shelf and the idea is great. The problem is the metal dividers don't secure well. The base is awesome and non-skid. But, nearly every time I pull a pan or lid out, the divider comes with it. If they snapped in, it would be a great product. If the clips held at all, it would be a good product. As is, it's just ok.

It is so practical and not having to fight with my pans anymore makes this little investment worth it. Feels like a good quality product for what it is. The dividers are adjustable and removable which is perfect to adapt to your situation and the bottom base can expand and be smaller to allow it to fit easily in various cupboard sizes.

Funcional

Exactly what I needed - one used for pan lids and another for chopping boards and baking trays

I recently bought two of these racks for my pantry, choosing the expandable and adjustable model. Expandable being that you can size it in our out according to your space and I have mine set to be as large as possible. Adjustable just refers to each of the metal dividers that you can place within the rack wherever you want. There are other models available, so I found it a bit confusing at first to figure out what the true differences were between the products (check your measurements before buying). In my pantry the upper cupboard (not very deep) has one to hold my smaller baking pans like round and square pans and the wider and usually harder to store bundt pans. The lower cabinet that is deeper, can use this same rack for long baking sheets and different types of pans, I managed to get 18 pans in (some nested within others) for an amazing use of space. I didn't want to deduct a full point, but the dividers do come out rather easily, so sometimes you can knock them out when you pull out a pan. This wasn't a deal-breaker though, as I have bought two more for my daughters making their tiny kitchens so much more functional. Love this and have also like other Youcopia products, especially the spice drawer liner.

This is a great idea but doesn’t stay together. Every time I take out a pan a divider or 2 comes out too.
