Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of All-Clad Stainless Hanging Tool Rack
Customer Review: Looks great, works great
Summary: 5 Stars
These (I bought two) were easy to mount and look great mounted side-by-side right under the stainless steel back plate of my cooktop hood. The two of them span the width of the 36" hood and look almost integral to it. Being All-Clad, they are of high quality, beautifully polished, hefty stainless steel. I like that the hooks slide easily back and forth on the racks; sometimes the utensils get hot if they are above a burner with a high flame, and I can just push them to the side.
Maybe I just lucked out, but mine came with 6 hooks each. The photo on the product page hooks doesn't show the hooks very clearly; to see what they look like, go to All-Clad Stainless Hooks for Hanging Rack.
I use mine for utensils; I wouldn't suggest using these racks for pots, not because they're not strong enough---sturdily mounted, they would be---but because they are only 18" long (come on, people, read the product description). Only two pots, or maybe three small ones, would fit on each rack.
Customer Review: Mounted properly, it will hold pots
Summary: 5 Stars
Furthering the debate on the applications of the hanging tool rack.. Mounted properly to a secure point, the hanging rack can hold pots and pans without a problem. The weakest possible point on this structure will be the fastening points of the rack to the wall.
The hooks are stronger than pretty much anything that can be screwed in to the holes. The strength of the rack itself couldnt possibly be in question, its made of 18/10 stainless steel, you would need 100's of lbs of force to bend it. The rack is easily capable of holding pots and pans on every hook that weigh 10+ pounds. Maybe it was not designed to hang items as wide as a pan but this does not mean you cant buy 4 racks and still do it, they are very good looking.
Just because its called a "Hanging Tool Rack" doesnt mean you cant hang on it anything that can be hooked, everything you buy has a suggested use. Buy it and do what you like, bolt it to the wall in the garage and hang hammers on it, wont hurt my feelings!
Customer Review: High-quality finish and strong, too.
Summary: 5 Stars
First, this is great for pots and pans(see my "customer image" above for proof)! I didn't see any reason to pay twice as much or more for a bigger brand name, and I'm very happy with my choice.
The bar has a very nice polished finish, and being stainless steel, is plenty strong enough to hold anything the screws/anchors will support. Even mounted in drywall (as mine is), it's more than secure enough for my collection of anodized aluminum pots and pans.
I can only see two potential minor drawbacks: (1) the bar is not very wide or long, so if you want a strong visual statement, get something else; (2) since the hooks are threaded onto the bar rather than just hooked on, you'll have to unscrew one end to add more; however, I actually like this feature, because it means I can't accidentally lift or knock a hook off when I'm taking down a pan.
There are other bars a bit cheaper, but none of them comes close to the All-Clad in finish quality or hook design.
Customer Review: BINGO! No more falling pots and pans!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have looked all over for a hanging pot rack that had the hooks somehow attached to it, so they wouldn't keep falling off. Well, only Amazon.com had it!!! BINGO -- EXACTLY what I was looking for. I wasn't for sure if it was going to fit the space I had for it, but ordered two, and it's going to work well in my kitchen. I like that is all-clad stainless steel and dishwasher safe, just for me to keep it looking nice. If you're tired of pots falling on you, this is the item to get. The hooks actually have a hole at the top so you slide the hook onto the rack and the design of the rack holds it away from the wall. What a FIND! I can't believe after all this time I found what I was looking for! Thank you Amazon. I couldn't be happier with my purchase, except I think I need to order just one more. :) After all I have a lot of pots and pans to hang! :)Customer Review: Great price and quality product
Summary: 5 Stars
Own a super stainless steel pot holder and wanted three matching racks for hanging utensils and chose this product which turned out to be better than I imagined. I own alot of AllClad stainless cookware, so I know the brand well. What I love about this utensil rack is the hooks, which are hung within the rack itself and not like most hooks that are looped on a storage rack. I like this because when I go to grab a spoon, spatula, whisk etc I don't have to deal with the hook coming off as well. I also appreciate the clean lines and easy installation. Would like the opportunity to buy more hooks separately.
