I originally ordered just one of these for a base cabinet with a door. When we replaced our natural gas range with an electric induction cooktop I decided to build an open shelf underneath it. After completing the shelves on the right for our heavy cast iron pans & Dutch oven I looked an the remaining open area on the left & said "this is where that slide-out pan hanger needs to go!” I measured the diameters & lengths of our wok & our collection of All Clad fry, sauce & sauté pans & quickly realized that while one of these would be nice, two would be even better! I spent 6 summers working in the kitchen of an amazing gourmet restaurant during high school & college & all the pans we used hung from hooks above our heads. I loved being able to just reach up & grab whatever I needed & it was easy to determine if we had to tell the dishwasher to get anything washed ASAP so we wouldn’t run out. Although we didn’t use lids a ton, when we needed them they were always in a messy pile on a low shelf & it was not fun sorting thru them to find the right one. Now that I’m 55, having our pans & lids right under our cooktop & right next to the dishwasher & stainless steel sink is ideal! Just pull the sliding rack out until you see the pan you want, lift it off its hook, slide the rack back in, slide the matching lid off the handle & you’re ready to cook in less than 15 seconds! And if you’re like me & prefer washing your large pans by hand instead of taking up a lot of space in your dishwasher, you can just wash the pan & lid, rinse the soap suds off, slide the lid over the handle & let the last few drops of water drip dry while hanging. Not everyone likes open shelving, but if you cook a lot & prefer function over form/appearance, you will love these! I originally had our cast iron pans hanging on these but have since determined that they are simply too heavy & are much easier to store on a flat shelf - like the ones to the right of these awesome slide-out hangers!
