Realistically, how many pots/fry pans will hang from this unit?

It comes with 6 hooks. I hang 8 pots & pans on it. Two sizes of frying pans share 1 hook and 2 sizes of pots share a hook. I thought about contacting the company to order extra hooks, but it's holding all of mine now, so I didn't worry with it. It has space for 9 lids too. I love that it hold lids. I would buy another in a second if anything ever happened to mine. I love not having to dig for the right lid. I also think you could double up a few more pans if you had more pans. I double up the smallest ones.

I have purchased this rack in white twice - once for my son and later for my daughter. Both have 11 piece Cuisinart sets as well as other frying pans. Neither put the large pot on the rack as it takes up too much space, but both are using the 6 hooks that come with the rack plus another 6 hooks that I ordered from the manufacturer. If you want extra hooks do not select from any of the suggestions on the site. Call the manufacturer (1-800-728-5698) and order a package of 6 extra hooks for $10. All the lids to their sets and more are held on the rack lid. They both love their racks. It is very convenient for them and really saves limited cabinet space in their small apartment kitchens. I wish I had wall space to get one also, but my kitchen layout is not conducive to this.

Lids fit easily in each slot. I have a large sauce pan and a steamer that fits inside on the back row. Two fry pans and a sauce pan on the front row. Everyone who has seen the rack think it is very nice. I hung the rack with toggle bolts because it's on a dry wall which would not support regular screws and I am not fond of other hanging screws or molly bolts. Hope this is helpful.

Mary, it comes with six hooks and I filled them...I have my large stock pot, medium sauce pot, small pot and a small fry pan, regular fry pan and an extra large sauté pan. All of the lids fit on top without banging into each other. I love this product!!

I have six on mine. I have five pieces of my stainless set and one cast iron frying pan on it. I did put the lids closer together on the top, but I did that to save room. I keep a few of my go-to cookbooks up there too.

Yes...the hooks are big enough and sturdy enough. You could even hang a pot over a pan on one hook.

The rack comes with 12 hooks. I have 12 pots hanging from the rack. You can purchase additional hooks, but since all of my pots have the same length handles, I doubt if I could fit additional pots. If you stagger short handles with long, you may be able to fit more. The connectors support 250 lbs a piece I believe.

It depends on the size of pots. for me two 3 gallon pots without having it bunch all together.

I don't know the exact weight limits on the bar or per hook, but I can tell you that I used mine for a regular set of pots plus 2-3 cast iron skillets. Just make sure you screw into studs and put the heaviest pots closer to the screws rather than the middle of the bar. If studs are hard to find or not spaced properly, you can mount a 2x4 on the wall and get that screwed into studs and then mount the bar to that. Not the prettiest solution but you could paint the wood black to mask it.

I have about 18 pans hanging from it. They are 12" skillets, 8" skillets, dutch ovens , sauce pans etc. All of my pans are from Pampered Chef, so they are all fairly heavy and it works wonderfully.

You should be able to reach the pots and pans easily enough if you hang the rack a bit lower, but you won't be able to reach items sitting on top of the center rack/storage shelf. I need a stepstool for that, so I only put things up there that I don't need very often.

Thats a trickey question, use your better judgement I did not even put it in a stud I drilled a hole and put a plastic anchor in and screwed it in the nail holes are set in a spot where it levels it out just fine unless you are hanging cass iron pans then I really do not know, sorry I could not help more but I have the rack for a few yrs now and love it. I have 8 pots hanging with no problem and sometimes I take it down and turn it upside down for a different look , the pots just hang higher. Have a good day.

They will hang facing the wall just fine. Unless you put more than 4 larger pans. Then you will have to stack them.

Hi Donna! Yes, if you have more than four pots/pans to hang (and you probably do) I would order some extra hooks. Enjoy!

I have my racks screwed into a pine ceiling and one rack has five cast iron skillets of different sizes hanging from it. I just read the other answers and thankfully I didn't read them first. As along with the five cast iron skillets, I have a total of 14 skillets and pans consisting of the cast iron, All-clad and Swiss Diamond. I have four of these racks with a bunch of pots, pans and skillets. Obivously I brought additional swivel hooks!!I am not allowed to buy anymore to support my bad habit.

The unit is steel so I think it mostly depends on your anchor points. I have mine in studs and it seems solid. I have 3 large pans, 1 small pan, a large and small pot hanging. All stainless.

The amount of weight it will hold has more to do with how well you install it, but I can say that my rack currently holds a lot of pans. Two large skillets, 5 pots, and three smaller pans

I don't think they will work for that weight. Although they are sturdy and I have some heavy pots and iron frypans hanging I am not sure I'd want to try that much. 2 or 3 together might work, but you'd have to buy a pack to find out-Amazon had the best price for these as I looked around first and didn't find what I wanted quite like them for the value. If they don't work for this need keep them for another.

my rack is definitely sturdy enough. Mine holds my 6 stainless pots & pans, 2 big glass mixing bowls, a tea kettle and a Pyrex measuring bowl. There is space to hold more but I ran out of hooks.

It depends on how you space the fillets, Hang or on shelf. As much as you can fit in and have a little space between the fillets.

Depends on the number of pots and how spaced you want them. It is always nice to have extra hooks, but I didn't need them for my pots.
