Julia Child would positively drool at the variety of pot racks available these days. This illustrious chef understood the necessity for the well-chosen space-saving apparatus, and had a trained eye for beauty. Fortunately, the average savvy chef today can shop online for the ever-popular pot rack with lights in the comfort of their own home – something Julia would have relished!
It’s easy when shopping online to choose quickly from numerous exquisitely detailed selections, but to make sure your pot rack with lights serves its ultimate purpose; think carefully about its location. The two most popular locations for your rack are over a cooktop and lighting a workspace.
Some guidelines:
Placing your rack over a cooktop or cooking island: This is an excellent option when you want to conveniently and quickly select just the right size pot for the job. Most racks also contain multiple hooks for hanging cooking utensils and colanders alongside your pans. Remember that you will need to find an alternate way to vent your cooktop if you choose this option. For this reason, consider buying your pot rack with lights at the same time you purchase your cooktop for ease of planning and installation. Make sure to locate the pot rack at least two feet above your cooktop or stove to conveniently reach both front and back burners and avoid splattering onto the pans hanging above. Generally, you will want to take advantage of racks with lights that point down onto your burners. The size of your rack and the decision on how many lights you will need is entirely up to you. Rule of thumb dictates that it depends on the size of your stove, but the length and width can vary if your cooktop is on an island or there are counters surrounding your cooking area.
Placing your rack over a workspace: Up lighting is more often used over a workspace than with a cooktop. Choosing your lighting carefully can adds flair to your pot rack and dramatically illuminates pots that are stored on the top rack. Many exquisite styles are available for your choice of lamps: candelabras, detailed glass shades, even spotlights.
Metal is the material of choice for most racks, ranging from stainless steel, wrought iron and brushed aluminum. Wood is an excellent complement to your wood cabinets, and is often paired with metal to match the cooktop or appliances. Make sure that the detailing of the rack matches the richness or simplicity of your kitchen so that the rack does under- or overwhelm the rest of the décor.
How many hooks do you need? If your kettle collection is small, utilizing extra hooks for utensils is an excellent option. Some pot racks with lights also offer wine glass holders. Remember that your rack is not just for hanging items; you can place your specialty vessels, colanders and even cooking supplies on top of the rack for easy reach, making your rack even more versatile.
Pot rack with lights are easy to clean by hand washing with soap. Adjustable hooks make it easy to raise and lower the rack to accommodate the tallest (like Julia) or shortest (think Rachel Ray) chefs.
Design choices for pot rack with lights are unlimited. Whether you prefer a contemporary design, art deco, country, or traditional, shopping online is easy. Detailed, close-up photographs from several angles help you visualize your beautiful pot rack with lights in your own kitchen.
