i want to store several cast iron frying pans on this - will it take the weight?

The rack itself can certainly handle it. It's all about how you mount it. Make sure you hit studs or use anchors.

In my experience it will hold the weight if mounted properly. I currently have a stainless set, one large cast iron pan, and several heavy text books on mine to test its durability. It's been almost a year and no issue! If you've got it mounted to studs, I think you're smooth sailing.

The manufacturer claims that the rack with the supplied fasteners will hold 100lb. Just to error on the safe side I drill directly into the studs. Then again, that's just me always factoring the worse case scenario.

As long as you install it correctly, i.e. on studs, it should be no problem if the pans have holes in their handles for the hangers. If not, you can always store them on top as well.

I think so. Depends what you mean by "several." They advertise up to 200lb, I think. I believe them. The attachments to the wall are pretty substantial and we put several pots and pans onto much like you see in the picture on Amazon, plus lids and other items on the shelf area. If you don't want to worry about finding studs and drilling into them, this is the way to go.

I believe it would. I might make sure the method used for mounting the rack is extra strong ( into at least one stud, for example).

I would ask the manufacturer that question, they are sturdy but iron skillets are heavy. Good luck.

Yes, our cast iron skillet is pretty heavy & it held without problems. The only problem would be if your anchor ground is rocky or too soft. You have to get it into the ground well for it to stabilize.

Our rack is holding a 14" cast iron skillet, plus assorted scanpans, fry pans and the occasional magnilite sauce pan. Doesn't seem to be stressed at all!

It is very sturdy if you hang it on studs as the manufacturer suggests. But I believe the limit is 100lbs. I think cast iron skillets are way too much for this rack or pretty much any for that matter.

You could, but as long as you realize it's going to bend from the heat and weight. I'm not sure what 'sturdy' item other people are using, but I had a cast iron skillet on mine for one weekend and by the end it was bowed in the middle and all the paint had chipped off.

Yes it is. Although I lay my rack on its side because it is too tall for my shelf. It will hold my cast iron on its side and also when I put the shelf upright too.

Yes I have two frying pans and two pots hanging from mine for over a year and it is very sturdy.

If you use the 4 pole/corner setup you should not have a problem as long as the heaviest items are on the lowest racks. Each shelf should hold over 5 pounds. I have put close to that amount before. However, most of the items that I bake are lite and airy.

I dont think the pegs are wide enough for large frying pans. We have it on our counter with plates and it works well.

Well, I hang my All Clad pans from them with no problem. I don't think you would have trouble using them for anything like that, but I don't know about things that weigh much more than that. They are very sturdy, although I can't say exactly what their weight limit is. Absolutely fine for my pots and pans.

I haven't weighed the pots & pans I have hanging on this, but for about 6 months now it has successfully supported 2 cast iron skillets, 3 stainless steel skillets, 4 handled pots of varying sizes and 4 glass lids. I would just recommend making sure it's well anchored in the wall.

It should be able to hold that. I had my crockpot and other small kitchen appliances stored in mine without any issue.

I have multiple rolling pins, mixers, meat cleaver, and so many other kitchen tools that are extremely heavy, all hanging on mine. I wouldn't hesitate to hang my iron cookware on there if the urge hit me. And who knows? One of these days, it just might!

Can't remember if there were weight restrictions listed in the assembly instruction.I've been storing a commercial Kitchen Aid Mixer, a large electric frying pan and a large Crock Pot on my stand and it is holding up great---no complaints.

It will depend on the weight. I use it to get quick access to a extra stuff like a small rotisserie grill and such. It probably will do well if you put the containers roughly over the wheels, say two rows on each side and leave the center for lighter stuff

While not designed to hold pots and pans, I did test mine with 2 cast iron skillets and the magnets held just fine. I can't say if I would recommend this for any great length of time though.
