Set aside two hooks with self-adhesive backs for each of your pan lids (you may need to add a third depending on the size and weight of your lids). Then arrange your lids on your cabinet door to see how many you can neatly fit in the space available. Use a pencil to mark their circumference or apply a small piece of painter’s tape to a couple of the edges so you know where to stick the hooks.
Now, imagine the lid is a clock face and apply one of the hooks to the door at the 4 o’clock position and the other at 8 o’clock so they can support its weight. This particular placement isn’t mandatory but it makes a great starting point to work from. You can adjust the hooks to your liking so they fit neatly within the dimensions of your cupboard door and safely support the lids. However, make sure that when you place the lids on the door, their bottom half safely sits inside the hooks and isn’t tipping forward. If your lid is extra large and doesn’t feel secure, add a third hook to the mix. To prevent damage to the hinges of your cabinets from the weight of heavier lids, spread them out over two or three doors instead of placing them all in a single area. Once your handiwork is complete, you can chef it up like a boss in your clutter-free kitchen.
