lots Of Cookie Pans Anyone Used Pizza Rack To Organize?

I have about 7 or 8 big jelly roll pans, some full and some half and need some sort of countertop way of stacking them. My sad little kitchen will not accomodate a true commercial bakers rack.

So I came across these things called pizza racks and wondered if anyone else had used them. Here is a link to one of the sites with a picture:

It appears there are two different sizes, one with a 12" square base that can hold from 11-15 pans and the other with a 16/17" base but looks like that one can only hold 11.

I really want one that can hold 15 pans and can accomodate the full sheet pans since I wanted to get some extras for when I am decorating. I am thinking the 12" base one will be too small to hold the full sheet pans - any other thoughts? Am I crazy for considering this? thx

I used them when i was a manager at Sbarro. They are great, my most favorite kitchen accessory there! They would most definitely work for those. I have had 15 pizza pans with par bakes on them, and they were very sturdy, didnt budge & didnt tip over.

So do you think the 12" base one will accomodate the full sheet pans? I think they are 18" x 24". I really, really need one to hold more than 11 or I will need two and Lord knows I don't have the room for two, lol.

Is the one on that page sturdy enough? There are some other ones that seem more high quality but I don't know if it's overkill. I think I can get one like this delivered for $35 - $40 which would be soooo worth it to me.

The pizzapan with a par-bake weighed between 3 & 5 pounds each. I had one that held 15, and one that held about 25. they are both very sturdy. My pizza pans were 19inches, and it held it fine.

I think it'd be fine, I'd do with what the pic shows, biggest to smallest.

Oh, thanks for posting this!

I was trying to figure out how to get a bun rack into my kitchen.

This would be great!

I am going to have to check this out.

Thanks CakeDiva73!!

I bought the pizza rack and it is just fantastic and I would have never known about it if I wasn't on CC.

It cost $32 total and it came in 2 days!!!

It is amazing how much less clutter and frustration I have now. I could never figure out where to put all the cookie sheets. It's just a God send.

Thanks again.

Question: could you lay that bad boy on its side so that all slots face upward? I'd like to lay on top of my fridge...
TIA

It looks like it could lay on it's side if you let the longer base rest on the side edge of the fridge. Otherwise it appears straight along the back.
