Store them with the lids in their dish? Stack the dishes and store
the lids in a rack? |

If you have the room, my preferred way would be to stack with the lid of the bottom one overturned to provide a base for the next one. I organize my own pot lids in probably what was meant to be a vinyl record holder back in the day.

All my Corningware has a glass lid that has a molded in knob, would be quite a balancing act to place the lids upside down on a flat surface and than use that as a stacking base. I store my Corningware with the lid inverted on top, then stack the next one on top of that inverted lid... typcally no more than two high. Someone mentioned about plastic lids stacked like record albums... maybe folks here are confusing Tupperware for Corningware... I've not seen Corningware with plastic lids. |

(snippage) That's exactly how I store my corning ware. They "nest" very well with the lid upside down inside the dish. Then the next smaller size dish and lid, and so on. Jill |

I think my mom might do that. I never did. I have some of my larger roasting pans down there plus some extra drip pans for my burners. My drip pans are old and don't look so great and new ones are expensive. I'm fine with the ones I have but some people who have visited here made a big stink out of it so I bought new ones. But... I intend to put the new ones on if they do come over again, then swap them back when they leave. I just store the lids with the pots. Has never been a problem for me. |

Our old gas cookers used to have an 'eye level grill'. Then they had them under the hob, now I have a double oven and the grill (broiler) is in the top one! -- -- http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/shop/ |

My stove drawer contains the broiler pan (never used, never will be) two of my most often used Nordicware cake pans, Bundt, and Daisys... that's it, oh, and the stove's owner's manual.

The new gas stove has a HUGE oven but very small bottom drawer so that ended any storing of pot lids except for 2 small ones. The broiler is inside the oven but many gas stoves do have their broiler in that bottom drawer. Three years ago I bought new tri-ply stainless steel Calphalon cookware. The handles are longer and that pretty much ended most pan storage in the bottom drawer of former electric stove. I opted for a pot rack which solved the storage problem and the pots and pans look rather nice hanging in the kitchen. |

Made such a mess in the oven. Never again! I can't even remember the last time I broiled anything. But I think it was some sort of vegetable. Baked first and then finished under the broiler. That wasn't messy. |

I don't like pots hanging from hooks, I especially detest those ceiling racks folks use to display cookware... the cookware collects schmutz and so needs to be washed before using. I've been to peoples homes who have those pot racks and most pots I've seen are so filled with dust and coated with grease from cooking oil fumes they likely haven't been used in more than ten years. I have a small pantry at the far end of my kitchen (was intended as a coat closet in another life), I only store the cookware in there that I actually use, all the rest is stored in marked cartons in my basement. |

Agreed. I cringe every time I see a pot rack like that. I would never want one. |

That is why you'd have a rack. Well, in a commercial kitchen it may make sense. It became a trendy thing in home kitchens and only has one use, IMO. That is to show off your fancy overpriced cookware that is rarely used. I don't take people out to my garage to show them how my ladder and spare tires are stored, so why show them my pots? |
