The Pot Problem - Pt 2.

Half of the problem in this cupboard was solved by some hooks on the door, which was an effective and simple solution as well as being a cheap solution (which is always nice). 

With the lids out of the way, the problem of having too many pans and baking trays (not pictured, as they're always left out on the hob because they don't fit anywhere) still exists. All the pots would fit, but then the trays are a pain to get to, having the trays stood up means they fall over all the time and make way too much noise when they do.

B&Q to the rescue with some cheap Contiboard pretty much he same size as the current shelf. Coupled with a load of existing holes int he right places of the cupboard meant the trays get their own shelf and still have enough space to move things from the baking cupboard, plus a shelf for the trays at the very top instead of being on the counter.

the most surprising thing i found was a 6' length of contiboard 15" wide was £9.99 online, but an 8' length of the same width was £9.98, also online. Expecting things to be different in the store i went to buy the 6' length, and it was the same. So got the longer one and left with a bit extra material.

Maybe this'll stem the tide of over stuffed cupboards for a while, but i doubt it as i've been eyeing a set to replace my rather old, dilapidated pots.

The Pot Problem.

For years the cupboard in my kitchen for pots, pans and baking trays has had a problem. When the cupboards full the pan lids take up just enough room to get i the way of taking other things out easily. If the pots are stacked with the lids on them inverted they're not stable enough, and the trays just get in the way in general.

After seeing this instructables post I decided it'd solve the problem. The hooks i found weren't perfect but fortunately still had a big enough gap for the lid to sit in from Clas Ohlson 

Fixing the hooks wasn't too bad, they stuck well, although the fit was a little close as the lids on just fit in.

Fortunately the lid doesnt move when the door opens though so it should be fine.

 The smaller lid sits nicely to there should be room for a couple more once I get more.

The next problem is the lack of shelving space, but isn't something I can solve with a few sticky hooks.
