Abstract: A pot lid stand. The device includes a pair of longitudinal members defining a channel therebetween, and a pair of lateral members affixed to opposing end walls of the pair of longitudinal members. An arcuate support wire includes a first end connected to a first end of a first longitudinal member of the pair of longitudinal members, and an opposing second end connected to a second end of the first longitudinal member. A linear support wire includes a lower end connected to the first longitudinal member and an upper end connected to the arcuate support wire. The arcuate support wire and the linear support wire are configured to support a lid for a cooking vessel when a perimeter edge of the lid is disposed within the channel, allowing users to support the lid on a countertop or other surface in an upright position.
