Would they be strong enough for a 12" cast iron skillet?

The hook can easily carry the weight of your skillet. Is your bar attached to the wall securely? You're more likely to have a problem with the bar pulling away from the wall if you have a lot of weight on it.

Absolutely. I have extended the length of mine by using two of them connected with a link of chain and they are still strong enough.

Yes and no. Yes, easily, but I don't recommend hanging something as brittle as cast iron. If it bangs against something else metal, the handle might snap off. The hook will be just fine, tho :)

I have a 12 inch cast iron skillet that hangs from this thing, plus two large stock pots, two saute pans, and a sauce pot. If you secure it to the ceiling studs it's gonna be as strong as it needs to be. If you plan to do circus trapeze acts with elephants with it...you're gonna be disappointed. If you like how it looks, and if you install it properly it's gonna get the job done. Plain and simple.

I have two very large (14" and 12") very heavy stainless pans hanging from one hook without any stress whatsoever. I'm sure a large cast iron would be ok.

I believe they are, but I don't know. I have used the 10" and 12" skillets for years

I'm sure it would work great. I didn't think it would be stable/strong enough for my Great Grandmother's cast iron skillet, but it handles it perfectly, along with other lighter-weight ones. (This refers to shallow pieces like cake or baking pans, pie plates, etc.)

Very likely, as long as the lid cover handle is small enough, if it is about the same size as a cast iron skillet's handle it will fit fine, if it is quite a bit smaller, these may be a little large for it but would still probably work, and it could even be larger and still work as these are not a tight fit on my cast iron handles. I hope this helps, thanks.

If you anchor it appropriately, absolutely. Mine has been holding the following for over a year without the any trouble (note: all steel is tri-ply, they are heavy pans): 8" and 12" cast iron skillets; 12" cast iron grill pan; 8" aluminum, fry pan; 8" & 10" steel fry pans; 3 qt steel saute; 1.5 qt steel saucepan; 3 , 6 & 16 qt steel stock pots, a griddle, steel steamer basket, aluminum steamer basket, a set of strainers/spatter screens, a 4lb bamboo cutting block, extra inserts from my 10 cup rice maker, an iron cookbook holder and a small roaster pan. My conservative guess would be that there's about 50lbs of stuff on it. It's hanging off heavy steel eye bolts that were piloted/drilled directly into a ceiling stud.

I don't know why not. They are quite substantial and nice heavy bottomed pans. I will use them on my Jenn Aire Stove if I need to. I haven't had to use them on my regular stove yet. I like this set but the larger skillet does not have a lid. I hope this helps answer your question.

Maybe. I bought my lid to fit a Revere pan, an it fit it perfectly. If you're skillet is truely 12".....most likely. It is a very nice lid, not heavy, but definitely well made. Sorry I couldn't be more help..

I have my set of cast iron (#4 - #12) set hanging from mine, which weighs about 40 lbs. With a few miscellaneous pieces on top. As long as you drill into studs and it's a sturdy setup you should be fine.

Well, I hang my All Clad pans from them with no problem. I don't think you would have trouble using them for anything like that, but I don't know about things that weigh much more than that. They are very sturdy, although I can't say exactly what their weight limit is. Absolutely fine for my pots and pans.

Im using mine for towels and washcloth. I don't think it would hold cast iron cookware.

I have pans ranging from 8" to 10" in the rack. It could probably hold a 12" pan as well. There is 3" of vertical space for each pan.

I think it will. It holds my 12" cast iron skillet with no problems, and I have those stacked horizontally.

Probably not. I have a large cast iron skillet and I wouldn't try hanging it on the pot rack. Anything aluminum is ok.

Unless that cleaver is made of metals less attractive to magnets (some stainless steels are like that, for instance) these magnets will have absolutely no problem holding it up. I tested mine with a 14" Henckels fry pan (inductive rated) and a 12" heavy cast iron skillet, and a single magnet was enough to hold either one VERY securely! That cast iron skillet is far heavier than any normal kitchen utensil I'd think to hang on one of these, so I'm sure it will hold any "normal" item with no worries.

Since it fits up to a 12 inch pan, it would seem that a 12.5 inch pan would be too big for it and there wouldn't be a close fit. However, if you don't mind that the lid slips inside the skillet a bit, then it would probably work for you.
