Transforming your kitchen from a cluttered workspace into a professional-grade culinary station requires smart, vertical thinking. Magnetic systems offer a modular approach to organization that evolves with your cooking habits.
To ensure a secure bond, always clean your mounting surface with a degreaser to remove wax or "fingerprint-resistant" coatings which can reduce magnetic grip by 40%. For the best stability, place heavy items like salt or oil bottles closest to the magnetic backplane to minimize the "lever effect." If using individual tins, store them away from the stove’s direct steam, as humidity and heat can compromise the adhesive bond of the magnets and affect spice freshness.
Quality matters when hanging glass and steel. Look for frames made of powder-coated carbon steel or alloy steel, which offer high tensile strength and resistance to bending. For individual containers, 430-grade stainless steel is the industry standard because it is naturally ferritic, meaning it adheres strongly to magnets. Products like the Mystozer shelf set use 1.2mm thick steel to prevent warping over time.
The Must-Haves:
⚠️ Warnings: Avoid using dishwasher cycles for tins with PET windows, as the high heat can cloud the plastic. Be cautious with curved or textured surfaces, which drastically reduce the effective surface area for the magnet to grip.

Most modern racks use flexible ferrite sheets or rubberized backings to prevent scratches. To be safe, ensure both the magnet and the appliance are free of grit or dust before mounting.
It depends on the nickel content. "True" stainless steel (300-series) is often non-magnetic. Most modern refrigerators use a magnetic-grade stainless or have side panels made of standard painted steel which works perfectly.
Hand-wash with mild soap and dry immediately. Avoid the dishwasher, as moisture can become trapped behind the PET windows, causing fogging or rust on tinplate models.
