What Is The Best Way To Store Pots And Pans In An RV?

by

What is the best storage plan for all of the kitchen food and pots and pans. I have a Keystone VR1 and wonder what is the best plan for all of the pots and pans. I have food storage space but after I put in the dishes, glasses, & etc., I wonder where to put the pots and pans.

ANSWER: Greetings thanks for submitting your question on our Ask An RV Question Page.

OK let me start off by saying that my wife and I have not had problems in this area; we have managed to make all of our limited cooking supplies fit into all of the RVs we've had over the years. We figured out early on that we did not need a large set of cooking utensils when RVing.

So since I am no help in this situation, I would like to open up this question to our visitors and find out how they have solved their RV kitchen Storage Problems. Please click on the "Click here to post comments" link near the bottom of this page and tell us how you have solved your kitchen storage problems.

Important Update A little while after answering your question I came across this great video From RVCookingShow.com talking about pots and pans and other cooking utensils needed for RVing.


A lot of the cooking utensils mentioned in this video are available at some excellent prices through Amazon, such as Mini Choppers, Cooking Sets, Silicone Steamers, Toaster Ovens, Immersion Blenders, Crock Pots and Pizza Stones.

Happy RVing

by: Anonymous

We have a drawer below the stove where we keep the plastic grocery bags for trash and use the bags between the pots and pans for cushioning. It's easy to just pull out a new bag or the pots. We've also eliminated a lot of space consuming bottles and jar condiments by ordering individual serving packets of whatever we need for each trip from this place;
rvcampstuff.com our order arrives in time and ready to go! No more storage problems or hauling stuff in and out from our home fridge for every trip!

starstarstarstarstar 		how to store pots and pans in a keystone vr1
by: Terri

hi. i also have a keystone vr1, and i know EXACTLY what you mean about limited storage for your pots and pans. mine has the kitchen sink in the corner closest to the bathroom, and what i did was, i went to the hardware store, and got some of those small hooks that screw into the walls, that need no back support, i screwed them into the walls underneath the sink. (there is quite alot of storage space under the sink in mine), and the hooks are exactly the size to hang my pots and pans on. as someone else said though, you may need to lighten your pots and pans, to what you absolutely need in an rv, or travel trailer. i have a large and a small pan, and a large and small pot, and your big pots for boiling crawfish, etc... will fit nicely on the floor behind the drawers. and you can only use 3 of them at a time, anyways, so i went through my pots and pans, and what i didnt need, i gave to my daughter, and when im not on the road, i live close to my daughter, so they are always there if i need them. LOL!
i hope this helps, it has worked for me.
best of luck!

Here are some great comments we received on this topic on the Everything About RVing Facebook Fan Page:

Dale Paris: under the bench in the booth

Kristie Carlson: In a cupboard

Ruth E Espinoza: very carefully

Virginia Hays: In the back of our pantry-with either towels or pot holders between them so they don't make noise

Carol Luetjen: in the bottom drawer under stove w/webbed drawer liner between or bubble wrap

Susan Baron: mine are in the cabinet, with paperplates in between to keep my nonstick pans from scratching

Pat Veldhouse: I use Rubbermaid shelf liner underneath everything to keep in place and paper towels between pans glass dishes.

Sherry Noblit Straisinger: We have a 5th w/rear kitchen, items in the very back tend to bounce around alot, keep lightweight unbreakables in those cabinets. Pots and pans, in bottom cabinets toward center of trailer stacked with non-slip foam shelf liner in between, less bounce there.

Also heavy items like crock pots, electric skillets etc. cut strips of foam shelf liner to place between appliance and lid to keep from breaking. Knock on wood, 5 years, so far nothing broken.

Drill a hole in the shelf, insert magnet, and presto! Instant foundation for nesting.

starstarstarstar 		Nest them
by: Fred Wishnie

We're full timers so need a complete kitchen. We have no problem storing 3 frying pans and 3 sauce pans along with 2 pots. They all nest and we use paper plates as separators.

First you must decide how many people are in the r.v. most of the time. If it is two then you only need two pots,(a soup pot with a lid only big enough for a serving of 2 or 3 for soup/stew/pasta or boiling eggs.

A small saucepan for sauces, single servings of the above mentioned foods or heating small portions of left overs.

The same for saute pans, one larger pan for breakfast and a smaller saute pan for just two items.

place paper towels in the bottom of the larger pot and place the smaller one inside. place pots and lids into large zip lock bag. Same with saute pans. You can store anywhere without worrying about the pots and pans messing anything or becoming separated.

Mine are stored under the sink with the pans on edge and the pots beside them.

I have a class B Motorhome.
