A Lid for Every Pot.
I must apologize in advance. I'm going to mention Ikea for the second day in a row. I know you get it, everyone gets it. Wow, what cheap stuff! And some of it is designed and made pretty well! Fancy that. Now shut up about Ikea. I know.
A second preface: our kitchen is freaking miniscule, about 10x3, only slightly larger than the bathroom.
Here's my floorplan:
That's 10x3 including deep counters an enormous full-sized fridge, oven/range/hood, and dishwasher. We also have 2 tall garbage cans somewhere in there for trash & recycling. It's um, snug. At best.
Hey, designer of my kitchen? You suck.
So I bought an Ikea Rationell pot lid rack for about $6 this past summer, thinking, ooh, this will help out with storage in our tiny kitchen. Plus, pot lids are a pain to store. What do you do with them?
But the space was really too narrow to accommodate it on the wall, and I didn't really want to detract from the stripes or make the room look more crowded than it actually is. And oh, it is.
So I stashed it.
Anyway, last night, in a frenzy of cleaning and organizing in preparation for some houseguests, I found it again.
And thought, hm, hey, wait, forget the wall. Will this fit inside a lower cabinet?
It did.
Now all the oddly-shaped, unstackable lids are out of my way, and easily accessible.
These racks are available elsewhere too, and they will change your kitchen's life.

diamonds I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the kind that we experience in ourselves. Neither can I nor would I want to conceive of an individual that survives his physical death; let feeble souls, from fear or absurd egoism, cherish such thoughts. I am satisfied with the mystery of the eternity of life and with the awareness and a glimpse of the marvelous structure of the existing world, together with the devoted striving to comprehend a portion, be it ever so tiny, of the Reason that manifests itself in nature.
