1. A customizable pot and pan organizer with 10 steel-wire adjustable dividers so you don't have to go on a scavenger hunt for your cake pan every time you open your cabinet.
No tools, mounting, or installation is required to use it, so you can keep your best pots and pans organized with little effort.
Promising review: "I can finally find all my baking pans! The adjustable rack lets me store seven cookie sheets, cupcake pans, and cake pans. Nice to have them at hand without all the clatter that came from pie tins and cake pans rolling out of the cupboard whenever I reached for one!" —RSK
Get it from Amazon for $21.
2. An extra-sturdy pot and pan organizer made from alloy steel that you can use as one expandable unit or separate into two pieces: one for the pots and the other for the lids.
Promising review: "If I had to dig through and hurt my fingers ONE MORE TIME to try and find pot lids, I was going to throw everything out! Enter this amazing organizer! I used it to organize all the lids of my pots and pans, and it took me 15 seconds to put together, and I can easily customize the depth of each compartment to fit the type of lid I’m putting in there! Easy to move around, super sturdy, and makes looking for lids and putting them back absolutely hassle free! I simply slide it in a regular cabinet — nothing fancy, and I slide it in and out to reach the back like a drawer. Don’t wait! Get one!!!" —Palebluedot
Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in two colors).
3. Or a silicone pot and pan organizer with 12 adjustable dividers and non-slip, anti-scratch padding along the rails that help keep your cooking tools in tip-top shape.
It can also be used as one expandable piece or separated into two dividers.
Promising review: "These are absolutely wonderful and EXACTLY what we needed. Super customizable to fit your needs. I bought two and was able to add a variety of pots, pans, lids, and even a steamer tray! I love how organized these made my cabinets. I hated having to stack and unstack everything every time I needed something or was putting things away. My lids were a nightmare in and of themselves. When purchasing, keep in mind the amount of clearance. I couldn't use them on the bottom shelf because they added about an inch of height to my pans — I would say 11.5–12 inches of clearance is best." —Chelsey K
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three styles).
4. A heavy-duty kitchenware divider you won't cast away anytime soon since it's strong enough to hold up to 50 pounds, finally giving your cast iron pots a home that won't crowd your cupboard.
It helps protect your counters or cabinets from scratches and fits five pans when vertical and four when horizontal.
Promising review: "This small change totally converted the ability for me to use my limited storage space. Worth its weight in gold! Such high quality. Deserves more than five stars!! One tip though...there is a very small screw that helps secure the piece. Don’t neglect using that. Really helps support the weight of the piece." —Maria
Get it from Wayfair for $29.94.
5. A metal rail and hook organizer to hang your cooking accessories, which eliminates you having to lug out every pot from under the cabinet just to find the one you're looking for.
It holds up to 25 pounds if it's mounted on studs, and the set includes 10 pot hooks and mounting and installation hardware, ideal for putting your handheld kitchen tools on display.
Promising review: "10/10! Our rental property has a kitchenette, with very little room for storage! We thought of hanging the pots and pans above the window on one of these hooks! This fit the space PERFECTLY, and holds the heavy pans! We're happy with this, and it was pretty easy to install. The hooks themselves didn't work with our specific pot set, but we were able to bend them slightly, so they molded to the shape! It works great." —Samantha
Get it from Wayfair for $23.99.
6. Or a cast iron bar rack pot organizer you can use as a pot hanger *and* minimalist-approved decoration that'll put the spotlight on your hangable cooking accessories while ALSO providing more cupboard space for your growing Tupperware collection.
Promising review: "Perfect for hanging my new Copper Chef pots in my too-small kitchen. Plus, I got two cupboards freed up for additional pantry storage. By putting the shallowest pans on the end, it doesn't get in the way of the freezer or cupboard doors. Plus, I just LOVE looking at my new pans." —61Stingray63
Get it from Amazon for $24.98 (available in two colors).
7. A cabinet pot and pan organizer that includes a rubber covering on each divider to protect your dishes from any scuffs, scratches, or marks, keeping them in ~pristine~ shape.

Promising review: "My wife decided to buy this, and I am quite happy with how it cleaned up our pots and pans. No more stacking pans inside each other or having to extract all the pots to get the one I need. Strong enough to take our heavier induction pans too!" —Jonathan D. Price
Get it from Amazon for $23.98.
8. An over-the-door pot and pan organizer you can hang inside your cabinet door without breaking a sweat since it comes with protective padded hooks, OR you can also mount it to your wall with the included screws.
It can store up to five cutting boards, making this one of those things that'll make cooking more relaxing.
Promising review: "I use it for my smaller pans and cooking boards, and it holds everything perfectly. It comes with the option to screw it on to the wall or door, but since I'm in an apartment I can't (having the option for the future is nice though)." —Heather
Get it from Amazon for $17.47 (available in two colors).
9. A hanging organizer for pots so your dishes can make a grand entrance as they glide into your kitchen with just a gentle pull.
It's extendable to fit most spaces and designed with a stainless-steel base for added durability.

Get it from Amazon for $56.99 (available in two lengths and two colors).
10. A wire pull-out pot and pan organizer to tidy up your storage space *so* well that you'll find yourself going, "Oh, that's where that went."
Promising review: "I’ve waited 20 years for this! I was leery of how difficult it would be to install, but it was EASY! Make sure you measure the shortest distance in your opening. Mine was a bit snug getting it in, but it works fabulously. The glides are very smooth." —Blayne Wittenback
Get it from Amazon for $119.99+ (available in two sizes).

All the hardware required to mount this in a cabinet or on a shelf is included, and this model can fit inside cabinets 13 inches or wider.
Promising review: "My food pantry wire shelves were such a disorganized mess before I installed these drawers (I got two), and now it is so easy to find what I need, and I have room for so much more stuff! They are pretty easy to assemble and install (if you are semi-handy)." —DJ
Get it from Wayfair for $59.13.
12. A splurgeworthy pot and pan organizer made of brushed chrome to transform your kitchen into a five-star restaurant-inspired space your guests will be "Ooh"-ing and "Ahh"-ing over during your next dinner party.
It comes fully assembled with 12 hooks (eight heavy-duty pot hooks and four smaller hooks) you can hang over your kitchen island or near your induction cooktops. You can also stash lids, mixing bowls, and other smaller items on top of it!
Promising review: "This was the perfect size for over the island in our last house. We were low on storage space, and this allowed us to display our cookware and save precious storage space. Thankfully, we had good-looking cookware. Now that we have our new house, I specifically designed our island lights around this pot rack so I could reinstall it in our new house. I even put the lids on top." —katiemae80
Get it from Crate and Barrel for $224.95.
13. A two-pack of pot lid organizers designed to divide and conquer your pot covers for you — all you have to do is mount these baddies to your wall or cupboard doors and take in the view of an uncluttered cabinet.
It comes in a pack of two that can be hung separately or together, depending on your needs! They come with screws for installation. Some tips from reviewers: Be sure to measure before screwing into your cabinet doors (these can also be hung with Command hooks!), and also measure your space so that the cabinet door is still able to close with the lids hung (don't hang it too high, for instance).
Promising review: "I got tired of pot lids falling on my head and wasting space in our cabinets. These fit neatly on the side of our cabinet and kept them out of the way. It took me less than 10 minutes to install, and they work great." —JAR1599
Get it from Amazon for $18.97 (available in two colors).
14. A freestanding pot and pan organizer for when wall space is scarce and you want to avoid drilling *another* hole into your wall — plus, it turns your statement pots into a tasteful piece of decor.
Assembly is required, but once you have it all set up, you can sit back and admire your clever storage disguised as decor.
Promising review: "Storage space is tight in my kitchen, and my cookware is heavy and a challenge to manage in limited cupboard space. The eight-tier rack solved that for me. I have another four-tier rack where most of my Le Creuset is stored, but I needed something larger for the balance of my pots. This rack freed up cupboard space for pantry staples and essential appliances. I bought extra hooks to accommodate my cast iron skillets and other items. Even my apron has a home on this rack. My kitchen is now far better organized and a joy to cook in." —Lee Ann
Get it from Amazon for $262.99 (available in two colors).
15. A wall-mounted pot and pan organizer with a maximum capacity of 100 pounds so you can put the real heavy stuff on top (I'm looking at you, cast iron pans).
Promising review: "This rack is VERY well built and came with parts that make it very sturdy to install. It took me about 10 minutes to put together, and about another 20 minutes to install (mostly drilling holes in the wall). For the price, I wish I had bought this versus several other racks in different places in my kitchen that were quite flimsy for almost twice the price. I have four other pot racks, and this is by far the absolute best for quality." —Trigger W.
Get it from Amazon for $37.98.
16. A wall-hanging pot and pan organizer prepared to open up your cupboard space by supplying you with two large grid shelves and racks to stack your pot lids on.
You also get 12 removable hooks to customize how you want your pots to be hung.
Promising review: "This is absolutely perfect for saving space. I downsized to a tiny kitchen, and this is perfect for holding my pots, pans, lids, cutting boards, and even utensils!! It was easy to assemble; obviously I recommend trying to get the screws into a stud to bypass the drywall anchors. The metal is a little flexible, so hold it from the mounting piece in order to get things nice and level when hanging." —Cristina
Get the set of two from Amazon for $43.99.
17. A simple pot and pan organizer that lets your dishes do all the talking — simply mount it to your wall, then use the removable hooks to customize which cooking tools get to take center stage.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this shelf. We recently remodeled our kitchen, and I was so tired of stacked-up pots and pans, so this was my solution. I had originally wanted a two-tier shelf, but our ceiling is low, and we needed room for our island. It is sturdy, but I was skeptical a bit of the hooks, so my one cast iron pan didn't go up. Trust me when I say this is a game changer. I am so inspired having this thing in my kitchen because everything I need is so easy to get. I don't have to dig, and my pans don't get scratched. To get the pans to look right, we staggered the hooks on the bars instead of in a straight line." —Katie Kay
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in two sizes).
18. An industrial-style pegboard pot and pan organizer because you shouldn't have to factor an extra 10 minutes into your cooking time to find and put away your dishes anytime you cook.
Take advantage of the 300 holes on this metal board to declutter your space and make finding a pot (or your go-to tools) as simple as looking at the wall.
Promising review: "This kitchen wall organizer transformed not only the aesthetic of my kitchen, but also provides convenient access to everyday kitchen items, allowing me to declutter my cabinets and drawers. A must for small kitchens with limited storage." —Deborah
Get it from Wayfair for $79.99 (available in 35 colors).
19. A bamboo pot and pan organizer versatile enough to go from keeping your pot lids neatly separated to acting as a drying rack for that after-cooking cleanup.
People use this for storing cutting boards and other slender dishes as well!
Promising review: "I bought two of these, and they have helped me organize my pots and pans cabinet tremendously. Before I had them, our cabinet had about two dozen lids thrown wherever they would fit — it was making me crazy! The product does have some minor assembly, but it takes literally seconds to complete. Just make sure the pegs are secure before you start stacking your lids, or it'll come apart. Easy peasy!" —Claressa
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in a two-pack).
20. A chrome ceiling pot and pan organizer acting as a space-saving alternative AND sleek piece of decor that'll have your friends thinking they walked straight onto the pages of a home magazine spread.
The set includes a grid rack with two hanging chains, 10 pot hooks, and mounting hardware.
Promising review: "I moved to a new place that has almost NO cabinet space. This pot rack is very helpful for keeping pots and pans off the counter and out of the way. The only problem...now I need prettier cookware since it's on display. :-)" —Maria Reese
Get it from Amazon for $41.99+ (available in three colors).
