Pot and pan drawer system

Abstract

A pot-and-pan drawer system has a drawer ( 1 ) with dividers ( 7 ) which divide sections of the drawers for separating sizes and shapes of pots, pans and lids for them in a residential kitchenware cabinet ( 9 ) with doors ( 10 ) or a commercial kitchenware cabinet without the doors. Walls ( 2, 3, 4, 5 ) of the drawers have divider grooves ( 8 ) for containing the dividers in select arrangements and positions. The drawers are slid in and out on preferably telescopic wall slideways ( 14 ) and telescopic bottom slideways ( 15 ) that allow full opening of the drawers. The walls, the dividers and the divider containers can be sized, shaped and structured for receiving select ranges of sizes and shapes of pots, pans and lids predeterminedly. The drawer system can include a plurality of the drawers structured separately for receiving selections and combinations of selections of the ranges of sizes and shapes of the pots, pans and lids predeterminedly.
