For those of you without counter space for a cookbook holder, this is a brilliant idea. Check it!

Great Great Great idea! Thanks!

My cabinets don have handles but it would be worth adding a couple to do this

 

[meryl]

Of course, a book like this might break the handles - it's over 5 lbs:

By the way, Amazon is still offering it at a great price.

 

[steve2-in-la]

Melissa, I'll bet you could still do it. Just turn the hook on the hanger so it'll hang over the

edge of your slightly ajar cabinet. Don't really need the cabinet handle, just the lip of the cabinet itself would work.

 

[steve2-in-la]

She DOES say, heavy books won't work but I'll bet quite a few will. I have an under cabinet cookbook

holder which works really well but if ever I was in need, it's slacks on the ground, book in the air!

You're right and would be good for printouts too.

 

[marilynfl]

Great idea. And if Pip the chipmunk from Enchanted shows up you can hang him too.

(hey, I didn't think of this sadistic idea. Blame it on Disney. I saw it in THEIR movie.)

For print outs go to Container Store - they have these small stick on your counter hooks that hold..

papers. Keeps them way up out of the way. The
stick ons come off easily but mine are always full of recipes I want to try.

The hanger is great for small cookbook.

 

[marilynfl]

I have that book! It would probably snap the cabinet off along with the hanger.

This works great for printouts too. I don't have any cabinets over my work island

Holds about 8 diff sheets. Perfect for all the recipes I print out from here!!

I'm going to pass that hanger tip along to friends. It's a great idea!

Ha, I forgot to mention this one under Traca's heavy book thread below.

 

[erininny]

I must be the only slob who puts up printouts with masking tape! No handles. smileys/frown.gif

 

[marilynfl]

Slob Numero Dos. I keep a roll of tape in the utensil drawer.

 

[steve2-in-la]

I'm sensing some hostility here . . . did you take a blow to the head during Isaac?

 

[mariadnoca]

and I read over at the kitchen table and forget what it says when I get back to the counter

 

[erininny]

Ok, I'm in good company, then! smileys/smile.gif

 

[erininny]

I do this, too. Kitchen table and counter = approx. 3 feet from each other. Argh.
