Is this sturdy enough to hold a cast iron frying pan? What is the heaviest (including contents) that these 3 small potholes will bear?

It depends on the size of the pan and it's contents. I have never tried to put it under maximum stress and since I normally don't make meals for more than two I've never come close to endangering to damage. Remember, it doesn't take that long to cook food on it or boil liquids. Patience is a virtue. It does it's job for me very well.

I know it can boil 320z water in about 8 mins. Thats about 4 pounds in weight works great so it should take the weight of a cast iron skillet Hope this helps have a great day !!!

As long as the board is anchored to wall studs, you will be fine. We have 5 cast iron pans on ours and it has held perfectly.

It's great, I have an iron skillet and my other heavy pots on it and a food processor and it's fine. The whole thing is very sturdy.

If you drill into the studs (and not just the drywall) the weight capacity is 75 pounds. I haven't been brave enough to put our cast iron skillets on here, mostly because it's already filled up with other pots and pans. This is an amazing buy, and I absolutely love the way it has saved me tons of cabinet space.

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.

Yes, I have used a large pot to make stew on this along with a 6" skillet and a 12" skillet. I had no problems with it holding my pots and pans.

I'm not sure exactly how much, but I have stored several fairly heavy cast iron pots/pans, glassware, etc. It feels very, very sturdy. If we're talking like 100+ lbs, I have no idea. For everyday storage, it should hold up very well!

It is sturdy enough for pans. I have it placed in a cupboard in the upright position, and I have cookies sheets, cake pans, and some other miscellaneous bakeware stored in it. However, if you're are going to use it for heavy items, I would recommend screwing it down to the cupboard, or perhaps using command picture hanging strips to make sure it doesn't move around when you're pulling items out. I don't think I would feel comfortable storing plates in it, however, due to their breakable nature. Sometimes the wires pop out and things fall down. If they're round plates, they'll roll out. You could glue the wires in, I suppose, though.

It's sturdy but probably better not to put something quite so heavy on it. There are plenty of good quality "clad"pans that would be better. I hope this helps. T

I think so. I have a set of Stainless Steel and one cast iron on mine. And a few cookbooks in the lid rack. It's holding steady. Well made and solid, so long as it's mounted well, it should have no issue with cast iron.

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

I have multiple rolling pins, mixers, meat cleaver, and so many other kitchen tools that are extremely heavy, all hanging on mine. I wouldn't hesitate to hang my iron cookware on there if the urge hit me. And who knows? One of these days, it just might!

We built four of them into our island and use them to hold appliances that we only occasionally use, like the mixer, the crock pot, the juicer, etc. so it holds quite a bit of weight. It would definitely hold a set of pots and pans or ceramic mixing bowls or serve as a shelf in a pantry. It's pretty sturdy.

If the bolts are attached into studs, I think it will handle a lot. I hung a 12" skillet, a 10" skillet, (2) 6" skillets, a 10" pot, and a 6" pot all stainless steel calphalon cookware. I ran out of space and never had any strength problems. My pantry was lined with plywood to attach to. It is very strong.

I have these brackets and use them for a 15" x 21" extension table in my camper to provide extra kitchen counter space. We load them with as many pots, pans, dishes, condiments as the space will allow. Very sturdy for this application. Now if you are gonna load bricks, anvils, car batteries, then these might not be suitable.. I wouldn't put more than sixty pounds on em. Hope this helps.

I dont think it would hold it, by weight or the curve in the 's' isnt big enough either. these are to hang pots from a rack

This little stove is very sturdy. I've used an 14 or 16" cast iron fry pan.
