A good choice for those with smaller kitchens and no island, this wall-mounted rack still affords you the opportunity to free up some cabinet space and keep your cookware handy at the same time.
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 wall-mounted rack puts your pots and pans on display, keeps them within quick reach, and frees up cabinet space, all at the same time. (Also, the pans don't rub or scrape against one another, which minimizes damage to your valuable investment.) A wall-mounted rack is the best choice for low-ceilinged kitchens, and as an added bonus, it doesn't block overhead light. 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. --Mary Park

Very sturdy!:
When I received this product I was a little upset that it did have some of the coating chipped off by the holes as another reviewer mentioned; however, it's purpose is not altered because of it. I love that the hooks can only go on at the notch in the metal because it makes the hooks very sturdy and they will never come off when you take a pot or pan. I put two up on an empty wall in my kitchen and it created a great focal point!
nice:
You may wish to buy stainless steel screws with a pan head to cover the holes. As stated in other reviews, the area around the hole was worn away a little on both of mine. The pan head screws I bought covered it perfectly. These racks work great if you wish to hang the pots and pans on the wall rather than ceiling. I love them.
Calphalon Wall Rack - so good I bought two of them!:
I have more pots than most people, since I like to choose between stainless and anodized depending on the task at hand. So I ended up buying two of these simple wall racks, installing them one over the other on an otherwise wasted wall space. I like that these simple units match the finish of my Calphalon cookware, and that the hooks are generous enough that I can stack two and sometimes three pans of increasing size on one hook, depending on the thickness of the handles. My saucepans no longer get... more info
Hardware Not Included:
Well, it does what it needs to do and didn't cost a fortune so I guess it was a success. But, it sure wasn't obvious when I ordered it that the mounting hardware was not included! And of course none of the hundred screws that I have in my toolbox match the dark grey finish...! How hard or expensive can it be to put four little screws in the box?!
