i want to store several cast iron frying pans on this - will it take the weight?

The rack itself can certainly handle it. It's all about how you mount it. Make sure you hit studs or use anchors.

In my experience it will hold the weight if mounted properly. I currently have a stainless set, one large cast iron pan, and several heavy text books on mine to test its durability. It's been almost a year and no issue! If you've got it mounted to studs, I think you're smooth sailing.

The manufacturer claims that the rack with the supplied fasteners will hold 100lb. Just to error on the safe side I drill directly into the studs. Then again, that's just me always factoring the worse case scenario.

As long as you install it correctly, i.e. on studs, it should be no problem if the pans have holes in their handles for the hangers. If not, you can always store them on top as well.

I think so. Depends what you mean by "several." They advertise up to 200lb, I think. I believe them. The attachments to the wall are pretty substantial and we put several pots and pans onto much like you see in the picture on Amazon, plus lids and other items on the shelf area. If you don't want to worry about finding studs and drilling into them, this is the way to go.

I believe it would. I might make sure the method used for mounting the rack is extra strong ( into at least one stud, for example).

I plan to hang many cast iron skillets and griddles from this. Am I crazy? Everyone thinks so, but the video showed it supporting a 200-lb man's weight and said it could sustain double that.

The stand is very attractive in the corner of my kitchen. I have very heavy pots displayed on the shelves for easy access to them. I have the heavier pots on the bottom with the ligher pots on top. The weight distribution helps the unit to stay stable. All my pots are Staubs and LeCreuset which are made of cast iron. therefore, I would answer YES to your question. I hope this information helps you.

I would not hang Cast Iron. A lighter weight might work. The rack is not heavy duty.

I have used this self in my closet but I believe it would work as well in a pantry use. I do not believe the shelves could carry weight of cast iron pans,etc. but if you would only stack cans or dry goods it would work.

I don't know how much it will hold in pounds, but I've had a 16" stell frying pan, a 2 qt sauce pan, and a coffee pot all cooking on it at once, with no issues. I've also used 12" cast iron skillets and dutch ovens on it with no problems.

You could, but as long as you realize it's going to bend from the heat and weight. I'm not sure what 'sturdy' item other people are using, but I had a cast iron skillet on mine for one weekend and by the end it was bowed in the middle and all the paint had chipped off.

I have about 3-4 pans, including frying pans, hanging from mine, unsure of the weight, but this was the only rack I could find that did not buckle. my set is stainless and copper.

The under shelf platter holder is quite sturdy. I use it to store a flat cast iron griddle. The biggest limitation I found was the item to be stored cannot be too tall (thick) as the shelf hooks extend downward somewhat.

It would probably be ok I'm using mine for for serving platters. When I organized my pan cabinet I got the one that stood the fry pan up on their sides which really worked out nice I can stand 4 pans and access them easily (if you have the height in your cabinet). And the pans are heavy but the organizer doesn't have to support all their weight.

Can't remember if there were weight restrictions listed in the assembly instruction.I've been storing a commercial Kitchen Aid Mixer, a large electric frying pan and a large Crock Pot on my stand and it is holding up great---no complaints.

I've had 10" cast iron fry pan on it. We placed pan on corner or over enter bar. I also had a cast iron griddle on it. i think the griddle weighs 12lbs We have cooked lots of burgers and steaks on it. I recommend spraying it with a good cooking oil before placing over fire.

I have all of my appliances crock pots kichen aid mixer and blender on it I think it would hold pans without any problems.

Yes, it has been sturdy enough for my stainless steel pots and pans without any problems. You will want side support for frying pans. Usually I'll prop a plate up, then the frying pan next to it. It is a good little rack.

Yes, it is sturdy enough to hold cast iron pans. I has truly lived up to my standards.Sandra

I dont think the pegs are wide enough for large frying pans. We have it on our counter with plates and it works well.

If properly mounted up to 200. I have mine loaded up with several heavy cast iron pans. Maybe the concept Housewares website can tell you specifics.
