Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Is your Calphalon collection getting out of control? Does finding the right pot mean triggering an avalanche of gourmet cookware when you open a cabinet door? Time to unclutter. Made out of the same heavy-gauge aluminum as Calphalon's hard-anodized cookware, this handsome ceiling-mounted rack puts your pots and pans on display, keeps them within quick reach, and frees up cabinet space, all at the same time. The oval shape is perfect over a cooking island; it's a space-saving solution that actually enhances your kitchen's décor. (Also, the pans don't rub or scrape against one another, which minimizes damage to your valuable investment.) Calphalon's patented pot rack hooks can support up to 60 pounds each. They slide freely up and down the rack but won't come off when you reach for a pan. The rack itself is easy to assemble with simple household tools, but Calphalon recommends professional installation. Maybe that's why this kit does not include mounting hardware, although it does come complete with hanging chains. Overhead racks work best in high-ceilinged kitchens, unless you don't mind bumping your head on your beloved sauté pan every now and again. --Mary Park

This review is from: Calphalon 18 by 36-Inch Stainless Steel Oval Pot Rack (Kitchen)

Not only does this rack look sharp, but it's extremely functional as well. I like simple straightforward design, plus I have a lot of stainless steel accents in my kitchen. This rack fit the bill perfectly.

The title sums up the product: a stainless steel oval pot rack. It is constructed of heavy duty stainless steel. Besides the rack itself, you get a few hooks to hang pots from (hooks are designed to prevent things from falling on your head), and the chain shown in the picture. As the description states, you do NOT get any mounting hardware, so plan on making a trip to you local home improvement store to get the parts to attach the rack to your ceiling. This rack is fairly heavy, plus the weight of pots, so plan on attaching it to your ceiling joists.

This is well worth the money spent on it, if it fits your design style.

My new stainless steel pot rack looks fantastic while it displays my new Calphalon pots and pans. My husband and I put it up together today only to find that we had to run out and get the mounting hooks first. Other than that, it was easy and we are quite pleased to see how well the stainless steel pot rack version goes with the IKEA stainless steel products we have since I originally considered the black-toned one first to go with my Calphalon Pro Nonstick II set. Stainless steel looks so much sharper, professional, and even cleaner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality Pot Rack -- Not Trivial to Install, March 28, 2005

This review is from: Calphalon 18 by 36-Inch Stainless Steel Oval Pot Rack (Kitchen)

This rack, made in China -- not USA as the description suggests, is meant to anchor to four points in the ceiling, contrary to the image on the box. I purchased 4 stainless 1/4" x 4" screw eyes and 4 2" "S" hoooks rated to cary about 120 pounds. I attached the rack to my TJI ceiling joists which can handle a maximum 1/4" diameter screw, according to their specs. It took me a couple hours to find the joists, mark points centered with my cooking island, drill pilot holes, and assemble and attach the rack.

The appearance of the rack is a darker stainless steel, and goes nicely with stainless cookware.
