Heh! I'm out of drawer space.....
so I bought some Neodymium "super magnets" and stuck them to the steel
hood. I now have several metal items hanging from those, and all I have
to do is grab them and tug a bit.

Strainers, stirring spoons, spatulas, even my whisk!

I don't think a kitchen full of clean pots and pans is tacky at all!

A sink full of dirty dishes however.......
