A holder for cookware and cooking utensils has a unitary, framework body having an upper section with a lid support bar and lid abutment member, and a lower section having dual S-shaped leg members. Each leg member has an open channel tapered up toward a first bend to form a notch and an open channel tapered down towards a second bend to form a second notch. The sidewall of cookware is simply and easily positioned within the upper notches of the leg members to secure the holder onto the cookware. Cookware lids and utensils are then conveniently stored, temporarily, within the lower notches of the leg members, while the holder is secured to the sidewall. The holder is manually positioned on the cookware sidewall and removed from the cookware manually by the user, without the use of any tools.
