Our stream of reader pot rack solutions continues, with one more clever idea from reader Theresa. She didn't have much room for a pot rack in her small kitchen, so she created an over-the-door version with inexpensive materials. Here's how she did it.
Theresa writes:
I live in a 1900's flat with little cabinet space and recently bought my first set of pots and pans (been cooking in the set my mother received as a wedding gift 35 years ago). Being reluctant to use screws or nails (and also not sure how much weight the old plaster walls would hold), I came up with an idea for a pot rack for my pantry door.It involves two good-quality metal over-the-door hooks, two replacement grates from an outdoor grill and some s-hooks. It's sturdy, works great, fits into a cramped space, and I was able to get everything for under $50 at my local hardware store. Since the grates come in a variety of sizes, it would be something that anyone with a door in their kitchen could put together rather quickly.
Thank you, Theresa! This looks a great solution for a space-saving pot rack.

Martha Concrete Lam...

Oooh! Good idea, indeed! I've also been loathe to put screws in my plaster, so this will work beautifully on my pantry door.
This is a great idea! Although I'm not sure whether my door and door hinges are any more solid than the plaster...
I loved this, so I hung a wire rack from my pantry door, but the (expensive) pot hooks wouldn't work. What finally worked best was $5 set of metal shower curtain hooks from a discount store! Love my new "rack."
