I don't know when you last looked at pans, but the current fashion is for inset lids. While handy for reducing drips, they don't turn over and fit nicely inside the pan. It's a great idea for cooking, but it makes it difficult to stack several pans within a cupboard. So in the search for alternative storage, I discovered the Deluxe Ceiling Mounted Wooden Pot Rack. With a nice sturdy design, the Deluxe Wooden Pot Rack has a strong practical presence. A great way to show off your fine pans, each hangs from a solid aluminium hook. A great way to make use of limited space, the Wooden Pot Rack measures 61cm x 51cm. Stylish and practical, the Deluxe Ceiling Mounted Wooden Pot Rack is available from decuisine.co.uk for £67.00.
