Where to store pots and lids in a small kitchen: useful life hacks

Storing pots and pans in a small kitchen can be a challenge. The problem becomes even more difficult when it comes to lids. UAportal will tell you how with ingenuity and practical methods, you can find the right way.

Where to store pots

• One option is to stack small pots in large pots. This method works well if you have enough space in your kitchen cabinets. Alternatively, a practical solution for storing rarely used cooking utensils can be for use in other storage areas such as the oven or separate cabinets, such as mezzanines in hallways or balconies.
• To organize the storage of pots and pans, deep drawers with high sides are ideal. However, not all kitchens are equipped with such handy features. In the absence of modern drawers, our mothers and grandmothers traditionally used tall and narrow cabinets, which were called "penals". It should be placed in any corner of the kitchen and take up a minimum of space.
• If you can't invest in new furniture right now, using mezzanines can be an effective solution, although it does have its drawbacks. Accessibility can be a problem, as the ceiling height in modern apartments, the ceiling height is at least 2.5 meters, and you need a stepladder or chair to reach these storage spaces. In addition, not every apartment has mezzanines.
