THE SHOPPING THREAD :-)

[judydawn]

Tasty, in Australia I am not sure if you can get small ones but what I did when I wanted them for a small toilet and laundry window was to buy a length of curtain rod and the 2 fittings for either end.  They sell them in packets, just tell the salesperson what you are wanting to do and they will help you out.  Have your drawer or cupboard measurements with you and they will help you with how many lengths of rod and how many sets of ends you will need.  Cut the first rod and try it for size with the ends on it before cutting them all, just in case there needs to be some adjusting to get a good tight fit.

Thank you for that suggestion Andie. Great solution and useful for others too, I see.

I am hoping to get to Spotlight soon for some other stuff, so hope I find some there. In the meantime, if anyone else finds them can you tell me where (in Perth) and how much?

I'm trying to make the best use of the little space I have and those baking pans were just annoying me.

The other solution I found was a toast rack but it seems they are only available in the US.

Check at office supply stores for file folder organizers

Although the wires are not strong enough to support larger sheet pans and deeper pans, cupcake pans, etc., will not fit.

There are other types, but I've tried several and while they work fine for flattish pan lids, they don't do so well for larger items.  I do have a couple I use to display some of my cast iron corn stick pans, but they are quite heavy and I've not seen them in the store (Staples) for a few years.  
I think I have a photo some where and if I can find it I will add it to this post.

found a photo I posted in an eGullet topic a few years ago about storing cast iron specialty molds and baking pans.

This rack has much heavier "wires" than most you can find today.

Andiesenji I like your collection of cast iron corn stick pans.  I do like a good corn bread but you don't often see it made in the molds.

I went to Spotlight today and couldn't find any small curtain tension rods and didn't want to cut larger ones.

However I did find a plate rack which suits my purposes and it was only $6. Here are two photos: one as it is, and one as a bakeware organiser.

Brilliant!  Wish I could find one just like that.  Here they are all that white plastic-covered wire that gets grungy/gummy and are so difficult to clean - put them in the dishwasher and the plastic coating cracks.  Arrrrrgh!

[judydawn]

That certainly does the job Tasty - would have been much cheaper for you too.

I've got several of the "corn cob" shaped pans, one that has a saguaro cactus shape, a pineapple, stars and shells.

Andiesenji you are a wonder.

Went to Spotlight here in Cairns. They have nothing like the rack. Tasty bought. Can't stand that store anyway. It is full of women who know what to do with all that crafty stuff. Makes me feel inadequate.
