Storing Pots?

I am trying to figure out the best ways to organize our kitchen during a small kitchen re-do we are working on.....and was just curious how each of you store your pots and lids. I use to store all of my cooking pots and pans in the base cabinets(lower cabinets). However, recently we reorganized the kitchen, and I decided to put the pots(the most used ones, basically all except the ones too big) in the wall cabinet due to the fact that I need those the most, and we have extra space in the wall cabinets. The problem, though, is storing the lids too. Then I thought about trying a pot/pan hanging rack......where they hang from the ceiling. Only thing that sucks about that is somewhere to hang it and the fact that they collect dust and should be washed before you use them each time.

Any of you do something different and have maybe some great ideas for this?

    Within the last year, I rearranged our kitchen because of the same problem you're having. I ended up putting all of the CI pots and pans (without lids) and wok above the stove. I have not noticed a gathering of dust on them.

    The DO's with lids fit in 2 large drawers below the stove. Then, my non-CI skillets, etc. fit into a couple of cabinets on the island -- easily accessible to the countertops and stove.

    Without seeing your kitchen layout, it would be hard to give any thoughts for your kitchen.

    Recently had a new wall oven and microwave installed and the extra space below the oven was made into a drawer with removable slots. Great for lids.

    We have a setup much like Richards and it is da bong, no reaching into cupboards to get anything. We love it.

    The commonly used pots go in the top drawer right where I work.

    The less common below with my knife sharpener.

    Just like Richard off to the right is a deep drawer that has partitions that hold all the long skinny things like baking sheets and pot lids.

    Normally they are all fuller than that but many of the pots are missing. Oh wait, here they are :whistle: :laugh:

    12 in high, 24 in front-back, 30 in wide. Removable dividers. We just raised the new oven higher and used what was wasted space.
