Oval Pot Rack is a Good Buy
By Michela
This Calphalon 18x36-inch Anodized Aluminum Oval Pot Rack adds style and functionality to a kitchen when it is filled with matching Calphalon pots and pans, other cooking accessories, and equipment. However, even though this rack is mounted close to the ceiling, it would be difficult to walk underneath it without hitting one's head on something hanging from it unless ceilings are high.
When this rack is mounted from the 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. Either 2 or 4 eyebolts or screw hooks can be used, depending on how heavy the items on the 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. First, I placed hanging hooks evenly around it. (I used more single, double, and spacesaver hooks added to the 6 single and 2 double hooks that come with this rack.) Next, I placed cookware on it one item at a time, alternating ends, so that it stayed balanced, and I was careful not to exceed the weight limits, as specified by Calphalon. I use my pot rack for French roasters and roasting racks, omelet pans, stockpots and steamer inserts, lots of long-handled utensils, a large old blackened wok, and antique French and Italian specialty items. I place 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 Scott Raile
I must admit I was skeptical in owning a pot rack, how would it look with pots on it etc. But alas my lack of space and remodeling my kitchen allowed me to try this out. I looked for pot racks for a long time researching on the web. I find this to be a huge space saver, and it holds my heaviest Le Creuset, and cast iron skillets etc with no problems. Just use balancing principals, offset one side heavy pan opposite side heavy pan etc. Very easy. I had to buy extra chain to come down from my high ceiling and had a professional hang it for me so I have no worries of it coming down. He measured it so it would be within my reach. What a joy, and easy to get pots off and put them back on. The hooks hold well, which was another concern of mine. In no way is it an eye sore even with ugly beat up pans.A purchase well spent. If you love to cook you'll want to buy extra hooks. Highly recommended.

By Maria Pargas
Perfect way to keeping my pots not only handy but looking great. It hangs right under my kitchen sink and actually very out of the way. My husband set it up so that I have enough room to stand underneath and still at reach. I couldn't of made a better choice. It�s the first thing you notice as you enter my kitchen. I have my Calphalon pots and pans nicely hanging as well as my stainless steel colanders. A great investment I had actually been shopping around for one for a while. Everything else was to big to small to expensive or just plain did not convince me. I'm glad I took my time on making the perfect choice. I highly recommend it! I also purchased a set of extra hooks that came in very handy. I just don't get tired of admiring how well it worked for my needs but also looks so gourmet! I was so tired of pilling up my pots and pans in the cupboards, worrying about them getting scratched. I have the non-stick Calphalon set and add on�s. I also used to use my stove oven for extra storage. Very frustrating hauling them in and out when it came time to use the oven. I not only had a mess on my counters but less room to work on. I would have to pull out more than one to get to the one I needed. This way I just reach out and take down the one I need. Being under my sink I wash dry them and hang them right back up. My husband and I love working in our kitchen, we settle for nothing but the best for our cooking needs. What we have not only has to work well but look great and this addition was the Perfect choice. We absolutely love it! It's something that would work well for any size kitchen.
