Stylish Accessory for the Larger Kitchen
By Michela
This Calphalon 20 x 56-Inch Anodized Aluminum Oval Pot Rack is the largest-sized hanging pot rack in their line. It looks quite stylish in an open kitchen when it is filled with matching anodized aluminum Calphalon pots and pans and other cooking accessories. However, even though this rack is mounted close to the kitchen ceiling, it would be difficult to walk underneath it without hitting one's head on something hanging from it unless one has very high ceilings. I hung mine at the end of a large butcher block island, out of the flow. If I did not have a large light fixture in the ceiling, I would have put it over the butcher block itself.
When one mounts this rack from a ceiling, using the included chains, it helps to use a Zircon studfinder to locate ceiling studs, which are usually 16 inches apart. Next, one can use an electric drill to make starter holes, and then install large eyebolts or screw hooks into the studs. One can use either 2 or 4 eyebolts or screw hooks, depending on how heavy the items on your rack will be. (There are other ways to accomplish this task, but I am only saying how I did it!) Then one can hang the chains on the hooks or use large "s" hooks to connect the chains to the eyebolts. The pot rack should be hanging level at this point.
Now one can begin to add Calphalon pots, pans, accessories, and other items to the pot rack. Place hanging hooks evenly around the rack. (I used more single, double, and spacesaver hooks added to the 6 single and 2 double hooks that come with this rack.) Place cookware on the rack one item at a time, alternating ends, so that the rack stays balanced, and be careful not to exceed the weight limits, as specified by Calphalon. I love to use my rack for French roasters and roasting racks, omelet pans, stockpots and steamer inserts, lots of long-handled utensils, a large old blackened wok, and several antique French and Italian specialty items. I place lighter things on top of the crossbeams of the rack, too, such as bamboo steamer inserts and top for the wok. Have fun with organizing this pot rack!

By Brian J. Donovan
The pot rack is very similar in both design, appearance and function ability to the professional version. It looks great and does the job very well. The only criticism I have is that this pot rack is big enough for 20 pots and pans or more. Why does it come with only 6 hooks? That's ridiculous.

I installed it in about an hour. Bought 4 screw-in eyelets and chain link connectors to attach to the ceiling joists at 4 points. It hangs above the island in our kitchen. We can hang all our heavy Calphalon pots/pans on it. I couldn't exactly center it over the island due to where the joists were located, but it's OK. I'm going to chance the old lighting above the island so this isn't as noticable.I got this from CulteryAndMore because Amazon wouldn't match their lower price.
