Furthering the debate on the applications of the hanging tool rack..

Mounted properly to a secure point, the hanging rack can hold pots and pans without a problem. The weakest possible point on this structure will be the fastening points of the rack to the wall.

The hooks are stronger than pretty much anything that can be screwed in to the holes. The strength of the rack itself couldnt possibly be in question, its made of 18/10 stainless steel, you would need 100's of lbs of force to bend it. The rack is easily capable of holding pots and pans on every hook that weigh 10+ pounds. Maybe it was not designed to hang items as wide as a pan but this does not mean you cant buy 4 racks and still do it, they are very good looking.

Just because its called a "Hanging Tool Rack" doesnt mean you cant hang on it anything that can be hooked, everything you buy has a suggested use. Buy it and do what you like, bolt it to the wall in the garage and hang hammers on it, wont hurt my feelings!

Despit what another reviewer says of this product--it is NOT a pot hanger--it is a TOOL (fork, spoons, whisk, turner, etc) HANGER. It has six hooks for tools--you can get more directly from ALL CLAD ($5 for 4 additional hooks). The finish on the rack is pure ALL CLAD, first rate. However, the finish on the hooks is not quite up to par. But do not let that stop: with tools on it you cannot see the hooks. While it is great for hanging the teriffic ALL CLAD tools, don't even think about hanging pots/pans on it-that is NOT what it is designed for.

I have looked all over for a hanging pot rack that had the hooks somehow attached to it, so they wouldn't keep falling off. Well, only Amazon.com had it!!! BINGO -- EXACTLY what I was looking for. I wasn't for sure if it was going to fit the space I had for it, but ordered two, and it's going to work well in my kitchen. I like that is all-clad stainless steel and dishwasher safe, just for me to keep it looking nice. If you're tired of pots falling on you, this is the item to get. The hooks actually have a hole at the top so you slide the hook onto the rack and the design of the rack holds it away from the wall. What a FIND! I can't believe after all this time I found what I was looking for! Thank you Amazon. I couldn't be happier with my purchase, except I think I need to order just one more. :) After all I have a lot of pots and pans to hang! :)

Having gone through MANY kitchen utensils bought at the local department stores, this one is WELL WORTH the extra investment!

I just love the different kitchen utensils that I now own from this line. The handles are just great, easy to hold, and they seem to work great for any size hand. My husband, and even my 9 year old daughter has used these with ease. When using with non stick cookware, there has been no problem at all with any scratching. Emeril, you out did your self on these.. Great value!! I highly recommend...

No matter whatI am making, if it be my candied yams. Or a haerty stew, I have yet to find any thing that I or someone
in the family makes that will not come right off from the spoon.

I bought these on sale from amazon.com and when I recieved them was very happy, they are very nice. They are very pricey at the regular price,but if you don't want to have to buy tongs or spoons again,they are well worth it. I wish I had bought more that one set,great wedding gift. They feel just right when cooking with them...

Very good very high quality worth the price!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, I have used this mostly for stir-fry cooking in my non-stick wok. It is just great for turning food over and moving it around in the wok. It has proved very durable over the year that I have owned it. It does a good job at skimming soups, too, as well as fishing pasta out of boiling water.

Over the years of my cooking, I have tried several brands of kitchen utensils, and I just love these. The grips are so much easier to hold on to, and your hands won't slip on the handles either. I also own several of the more expensive non stick pots and pans, and when using these utensils, there hasn't been even so much as a scratch. They are also very sturdy when lifting something that's on the heavy side. Thumbs up on these!!

If you must have the best, this is it. I have yet to see a set of outdoor cooking tools that can beat the quality of this one. The tools have a solid feel to them, and a nice shape with all rounded edges. The stainless steel is polished to a mirror finish. The one piece solid steel construction makes these sure to last a lifetime. I challenge anyone who can locate a better set of tools to post the link in a review below.

This whisk is excellent; it is well made and easy to clean. I use mine all the time to beat eggs for making omelets etc. It is excellent quality that will last a lifetime. Highly recommended! A+ !

I love the All-Clad cooking tools and this Soup Ladle comes free with the All-Clad 3.5 QT Soup Pot (which is also very nice). I managed to pick up the kit for 1/2 price on special from another retailer. 80% of my All-Clad cookware has been purchased on these kinds of sales, so I sit around and wait for them to come up!

The great part about the ladle is that it goes with the 6 piece Stainless Tool Set: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005AL7U/cm_aya_asin.img/102-2562220-1448913?v=glance&s=kitchen

The ladle follows the rest of the All-Clad equipment in that it is constructed with a very substantial handle and is solid stainless steel. As long as its not lost or stolen, this will be the last ladle you'll ever need to buy.

My mother had a squared-off spoon ever since I can remember. It is great for cooking, getting the corners of the pots, and completely covers the bottom of the pan! No need to use a spatula and a spoon with this one! I have been looking for years to find one for myself and am greatful to find one here. I would encourage all cooks of all ages and experience to get one for themself and anyone they know!

I just recieved this a few days ago, and it really works great. I purchased this for using with my non-stick cookware, and it works like a dream. I made Alfredo sauce, and it thoroughly mixed everything with no problems, and the cheese didn't stick at all. Great item, as well as product line...

I can find nothing to take to task on the All-Clad tools. I have nearly all the tools they make and I like them all. They are easy to clean, no nooks for stuff to get stuck. They fit well in the hand and have a substantial, but not heavy, feel to them. Their shape is very good for the task at hand. The sole negative is their price but when balanced against the good, including the fact that they should last longer than the cook, they are a bargain at the price.

This is a great kit to go along with any All-Clad cookware collection that you might have going already. Though it comes with a very nice looking stainless steel cup, I prefer to use the hanging rack (also available on Amazon if you search for "all-clad hanging rack"). Plus its not hard to find an alternate use for the cup for something else.

My opinion is going to be somewhat biased because I love everything All-Clad. Everything they make seems to have some kind of heft and beauty that I just cant resist. There aren't many things in the kitchen that you can use and abuse with the kind of ferocious angst as with an All-Clad Product.

This tool kit is quality at a great price.

After watching my mother use her All-Clad tool set over the last two years, and seeing how well it has held up, I decided to go ahead and purchase this item. I have not been disappointed, the quality is amazing. The tools have a very solid feel to them, yet they are balanced and not too heavy. They clean SO easily, and are even dishwasher safe. We are throwing away all of our old tools and replacing them with All-Clad - it's amazing! Amazon's price can't be beat.... I know for a fact that my Mom paid full retail through a very well known catalog (ending in Sonoma). Amazon's price was half of that. If you are contemplating this set, DO IT! You won't regret it.
