There are two things we always want to see in our friends’ kitchens: their pantries and how they organize all their cookware. Pantries are just fun to look at (all the snack inspiration!) and we’re always so curious to see how people make sense of all those awkwardly shaped pots, pans, and lids.

Stacking everything on a shelf (or jumbling them into a cabinet) isn’t always the best answer — Where do the lids go? How do you get the bottom one out in less than five minutes? — and we’ve learned from lots and lots of snooping that you basically have to buy some sort of organizer. But which one is best? Below are some of the smartest, most useful that Kitchn editors love.

Do you have a cookware organizer you swear by that we missed? We want to hear all about it! Tell us about your favorite finds in the comments below.
