How to Pack Pots and Pans
An interpretation of infinity: nesting.
Pots and pans make a lot of noise. You can cook with them, too. If you are into cooking or noisemaking at all, then you’ll want to bring the pots and pans you currently own with you to your new home. It just makes good sense. Fortunately for you, we’ve thought of nearly everything that a person could pack and written guides to help you out. Here’s a brief rundown of how to pack pots and pans.
“Nesting” is the operative word here. It is the process of stacking and wrapping items at the same time. The idea is that you take three pots or pans of differing sizes. You start by setting the largest one down in the middle of a sheet of packing paper and folding the paper up and over the edges of the pot/pan. Set the next-largest one in the center of the one you just wrapped, and wrap both of them in the same way as the first. And on and on.
Medium-sized boxes are best suited to these sort-of-heavy but not-so-heavy items, especially since they are hollow and a lot of space is just going to be air (hence the nesting). Make sure the bottom of the box is taped very well before you start putting them in there, and pack them on their sides. As always, fill any empty space with crushed packing paper. For more information on this, read the full guide we’ve written on the subject. Enjoy your loud cooking in your new home!
