Pondering the Tiny Kitchen post reminded me I have a kitchen storage
problem of my own.

For years, I had lusted after my grandmother's gleaming Farberware
electric fry pan, and I bought one when they went on sale. But the pan
is awkward to store and handle, being two feet from handle tip to
handle tip. Worse, it rests on a four-legged spider-type thing, making
it three inches taller than an equivalent pan. So normally it sits out
on a shelf in the garage, so it seldom gets used.

But I had the itch to make Wiener schnitzel the other day, so I
dragged it out, unbagged it, decided to wash it anyway, and made the
schnitzel. At the moment it is sitting on a kitchen chair, awaiting my
next move.

Do any of you own one? If so, how and where do you stow it? Apparently
it has been discontinued, so I had to find a picture of one on eBay:

I have a large frypan like that, with handle - it sits in the back
part of a lower cupboard (which has a pull-out shallow tray/drawer
above it). I have a 14" electric frypan, square, that resides in the
over-refrigerator cupboard because it is so deep. My big rectangular
Wearever roaster is up there, too, along with some big T'ware pieces.

That pull-out tray/shelf holds my 24" electric griddle, which I store
there upside down (because of its non-stick top coating and its legs)
- and on top of and around which I can store a small number of raw
potatoes, raw onions, my stick blender, my hand mixer, my waffle iron
and my egg cooker. I dunno, it seems if I need a space, I can find
one. Some of my less-used serving pieces (like the 2-piece bowl-in-a-
bowl shrimp or trifle container or the like) reside on a hall closet
space, just outside the kitchen.

I had my mother's large square electric fry pan that never got used.
It took up valuable storage space in my tiny kitchen and I finally
gave it to my brother to get it out of my way. Sorry, I have no
solution for you other than to take it back to the garage until the
next use. Hopefully someone else has a better suggestion.

i've got one that i purchased in 1958. It still works and I store in
on a pull out shelf below the stove top here in the mobile home. I
only use it to fry latkes, and/or my recipe for wings.

The garage.

I used to have the square one. Wish I still had it.

Nothing wrong with the garage as long as it's accessible and kept
clean it its bag.
Beats the bathtub where I had to store a bread machine once in a
smaller house.

I don't own one of those, but I have an 18 qt roaster oven that's
impossible to store in the kitchen. I wash it well, wrap it in a large
garbage bag and hang it from the rafters in the cellar. Works pretty
well.

My grandmother had an electric saucepan that could have been your
skillet's cousin (it was shiny, but I don't remember the base). I
lust for it.

Wow that's a lovely looking piece of equipment.

My mother had a very nice electric fry pan that I did not get my hands
on, unfortunately. I remember buying one new back in the early 1990's
and being very disappointed in it. It fell apart almost immediately,
very low quality. I seem to think that it was a West Bend? Probably
bought at Wal-Mart, say no more.

I now have a nice large pantry, with big shelves to store such
unwieldly pans. I wish I had that (nice) electric fry-pan!

When I had a weekend place I kept lots of stuff in the garage. It was
never a problem and it didn't stop me from using anything. I had
shelves for the big stuff and a file cabinet loaded with grilling
tools and party supplies.

I have a large rectangular one. I keep it -- and the large roasting pan etc. --
in a 24-inch-deep cabinet that I mounted above the refrigerator for just such
items.

I've never really understood having a shallow cabinet there - it's such a reach
over the refrigerator and back a foot or more.

Exactly where I store my stuff like that.

Their temperature control makes them ideal for shallow to mid-frying
Austrian dishes like schnitzel or fried chicken, or New Orleans
beignets. As mentioned by others, they are presentable enough to be
used as a chafing dish for parties or buffets, and especially handy
for single-layer foods (as opposed to stews or chilis that work better
in a crockpot). For me the best thing is that the grease will never
catch fire.

I will keep an eye out for a cabinet like this.
