How to Hang Cooking Utensils
-
1
Purchase a cooking utensil rack. You can procure a simple, plain one consisting of one straight metal rack, or you can buy a fancier, decorative one that has iron arches.
-
2
Assemble the rack if necessary. Some racks are packaged already assembled, whereas others are not. Assembly usually only consists of screwing two pieces to together.

3
Mount the rack either on the wall or bottom of the cabinet above your stove or from the ceiling using the screws and screwdriver. Racks that only hold small utensils, such as spatulas and spoons are ideal above the stove. Racks that will hold pots and pans in addition to small utensils are ideal hanging from the ceiling.

4
Place the hooks on the utensil rack, spacing them 4 or 5 inches apart or adjusted as necessary.
-
5
Hang your pots, pans and utensils on the rack, taking care to distribute the weight evenly so that the rack does not tilt crookedly. This is not an issue with simple, straight racks that are secured to the wall or underside of the cabinet above your stove.

Tips & Warnings
Use the same style utensils for a consistent look. Purchase hooks of differing lengths when needed to ensure that utensils of different sizes hang evenly.
Beware of overloading utensil racks. Too many heavy pots and pans could strain racks unless you have a heavy-duty brand. Always read the maximum capacity labels included with products. Do not hang utensils too high out of reach.
