Preparation

Do you have more lids than pans? You might not, but it can feel that way at times—especially when you take a pot out of the cupboard and find two lids rolling around in the back. If this sounds familiar, that’s because it’s pretty universal: Lids are simply hard to organize. Stacking is not a sensible option, and while pairing them neatly with the pan they belong to is a strategy that will work, there are better alternatives that take up less space.

Ahead, we share eight storage solutions that will help you organize your pan lids, whatever your kitchen size or layout. So, don’t worry if you’re tight on space—not all of these systems involve stowing lids in cabinets or drawers.
