A cookware storage system comprising a plurality of cookware storage units (702, 704, 706) configured to store pots and pans, each cookware storage unit (702, 704, 706) configured for magnetic coupling with two other cookware storage units (702, 704, 706), with each cookware storage unit (702, 704, 706) comprising: a first wall, a second wall, a bridge, and a gap, the bridge forming a first juncture with the first wall and a second juncture with the second wall; the bridge configured to rest against a hard surface and having a main body and an embossed portion, the embossed portion extending at least 2mm from the main body, comprising less than 10% of a surface area of the main body, and configured to provide at least 2mm of distance between the main body and the hard surface; both the first juncture connecting the bridge to the first wall and the second juncture connecting the bridge to the second wall at an angle between 85 and 95 degrees so that the bridge is substantially orthogonal to the first and second walls; the gap being a rectangular cuboid in shape, having six sides, formed on three sides by the first wall, the second wall, and the bridge, and being open to the atmosphere on three remaining sides to facilitate air drying of pots and pans; the first and the second wall each comprising an inward face and an outward face and at least one inner compartment, the inward face oriented toward the gap, the outward face being disposed opposite the inward face, the at least one inner compartment disposed between the inward face and the outward face and housing at least one magnet, the at least one magnet having a first pole, a second pole, and a magnetic field; the inward face being made of a ferromagnetic material and configured to restrict the magnetic field of the at least one magnet from entering the gap; the outward face being made of a non-ferromagnetic material and configured to permit the magnetic field to transcend the outward face; the magnet in the inner compartment of the first wall oriented so that the first pole is directed toward the gap and the magnet in the inner compartment of the second wall oriented so that the second pole is directed toward the gap. a first wall, a second wall, a bridge, and a gap, the bridge forming a first juncture with the first wall and a second juncture with the second wall;

the inward face being made of a ferromagnetic material and configured to restrict the magnetic field of the at least one magnet from entering the gap; the outward face being made of a non-ferromagnetic material and configured to permit the magnetic field to transcend the outward face; the magnet in the inner compartment of the first wall oriented so that the first pole is directed toward the gap and the magnet in the inner compartment of the second wall oriented so that the second pole is directed toward the gap.
