Supports for covers from pans: types and nuances of choice

All good housewives tend to clean up the kitchen. Each item must have its place. This also applies to the lids of the pots. Special coasters help keep these items clean and dry, saving space in the room. You will learn about how to choose the right storage system for covers among a variety of options from the article.

Often people store lids right on the pots. However, this option is suitable only for those who have a very large kitchen, and a lot of free space in the cabinets. Otherwise, the clutter of space leads to the fact that in the kitchen there is no room for other useful things. In addition, to get the pot with the lid is not very convenient.

The best solution is to place all the covers so that they are in a separate place. So they will not interfere and fall, creating an extra noise. At the same time you will save space and bring the perfect order in the kitchen.

Consider each of the options for storing lids for pots in more detail.

This storage method involves placing the covers from left to right. It can be a separate design with compartments for each item, a hanger, a drawer or an entire shelf in the locker. The advantage here is the ability to immediately see the entire range, as well as easy to find the cover of the desired size, which is very convenient.

However, this method has a disadvantage. If there are a large number of pots, the parts that close them will require a large space for horizontal placement.

In a small kitchen, you can get out of the situation by placing the covers vertically. In this case special supports, racks with fastening are used. Each element is in its cell and held in the correct position. Holders can be installed in any convenient place (inside and outside the kitchen furniture). You can even place the structure near the stove.

Stands, located outside the furniture, very practical. The range of models is diverse. You can purchase a structure for storing a large number of covers or a stand for one element. The second option is especially convenient while cooking. You can open the pan to interfere with the dish or check its readiness. At the same time you do not have to think where to put a hot lid. It will easily and conveniently fall into a special device. Some options allow you to simultaneously place the spoon, which the hostess uses during cooking.

Designs designed for the combined placement of the cover with other kitchen appliances (spoon, ladle, spatula, and so on) are very convenient. Usually they look like original organizers with two or more compartments. The central niche is designed to store the cover. Side compartments allow you to put something else. Some models have special hooks on which cups are hung.

The design of such products is diverse. The materials used are stainless steel, plastic, durable glass.Plastic models are presented in a variety of colors, but they quickly fail. Metal coasters are more reliable and durable, but do not forget about regular cleaning products.

Horizontal wide coasters allow you to store a lot of dishes. Not only covers, but also cutting boards, small trays, pans, plates and more can be folded into such a construction.

As materials for the manufacture of such products using wood, stainless steel, glass. In wooden organizers, you can put exceptionally clean and dry wiped dishes. Metal is allowed to be used for drying wet elements (if a tray is installed under the structure or a towel is lying). However, you need to understand that in this case, rust can quickly appear on them. Regardless of design and material, every 2 weeks holders should be free from dishes and cleaned (except for wooden models).

These are hanging brackets with various types of fixings. There are options that can be attached to the cabinet door (inside or outside), there are also wall models. They are fastened with clips, bolts, hooks. There are many options.

Covers, which vary greatly in size, are not very conveniently located in identical sections of the structure. In addition, some models are not cheap. Nevertheless, rails today are very popular. Vertical models can save space in the kitchen.

Another plus is the possibility of placing some models next to the stove. Such a close location can simplify the cooking process and minimize time searching for the right part. However, it should be understood that due to fat evaporation, clean elements will quickly become contaminated and need periodic cleansing.

If you do not want to clutter up the space on the work surface, you can store covers inside the kitchen furniture. This approach not only allows you to remove the dishes from prying eyes. In the drawers and cabinets, she does not collect dust, staying clean. There are several options for internal placement of covers.

Non-standard solution - hang the covers on the door of the cabinet. This may be a railing, single crossbars, on which elements are held by handles, or individual hooks that hold the dishes at several points. The last option is the most economical solution.

So the kitchen utensils are hidden inside the headset. However, it should be understood that although the covers and keep on the door, they occupy a certain place. It is important to consider this before installing holders. It is necessary to check in advance whether the door will close with the contents, whether it will not interfere. Try to position the structures so that the fixed elements are above or below the shelves. Do not forget that the free space in the cabinet itself in this case becomes less.

Retractable container - a great solution. However, in order to be comfortable and practical, it is important to carefully consider its location. Usually such moments are planned when creating a headset project. The result is a specially equipped compartment with recesses for covers and other kitchen utensils (optional), sliding out like a box. When creating such modules using wood, plastic, steel.

If you have a headset for a long time, but you want to organize a place for the covers in the box, there are two options. The first is to select a shallow but wide retractable compartment. In many headsets are under the oven.In it, you can simply fold the elements handles up. However, in this case no more than 4-5 pieces will fit in the box.

Dryer - a standard element of any kitchen set. Usually it is located above the sink. Under the metal mesh is placed the drain pan. In the dryer fold the washed dishes, which then dries naturally. Water flowing into the pan, poured every day.

Although the dryer involves the temporary placement of dishes, which is then placed in other places, many use it as a place for permanent storage of kitchen utensils.

Choosing a method of storing lids, you should focus on the size of the kitchen, the dimensions of the furniture, the availability of free space in the cabinets and on the countertop. Most housewives choose a closed type of storage. It is suitable for those who have a roomy headset. The same goes for the horizontal arrangement of kitchen accessories. It is an ideal solution for a large and spacious room.

As for the specific location of the holder, here you should focus on your personal preferences. If the box suitable for placement is at the bottom, and you don’t want to bend each time, it may be better to put the organizer on the countertop or hang it on the wall.

External placement of organizers and other structures is a good option for a small kitchen. As for the stand for one lid and spoon, perhaps, it will be useful to any hostess. Even if all the dishes neatly distributed inside the furniture, such an adaptation would not be superfluous. It does not take up much space and simplify the cooking process.

Choosing a material, it is better to give preference to metal products. Plastic is short-lived. Glass coasters are also impractical, although they look very beautiful.

You can purchase any of the listed accessories at the hardware store. If you order a set according to an individual project and the module for covers is included in the drawing, the furniture factory itself will find and install all the components.

To store the lids of the pans was the most ergonomic, use the advice of professional designers.

• Do not store the covers one in another. This design is very unstable. But to keep the "matryoshka" pans very rationally. Covers are better placed separately.
• The most convenient option - place the closing parts in the drawer next to the pots. So you can take the desired capacity and immediately pick up the missing element to it.
• Considering the size of the compartment, count the kitchen utensils.. It is desirable that all fit in one place.
• If there are few covers, it is not necessary to allocate for them an entire shelf or box. You can put a small organizer in the cabinet, and place other objects nearby. The same can be done in the box. In this case, you can not even buy special designs, but simply put home-made wooden slats that will play the role of space separators.
• If you cannot put the railing inside the cabinet, and there is not enough free space on the table and walls, you can hang the structure on the outer part of the door.
• An interesting idea - to use the window opening. In a small kitchen, this can be a salvation. On the sides you can place shelves, hooks, stands. Especially harmoniously this option will look in the kitchen, decorated in country style.
