Our kitchen is sorely lacking in places to put stuff. (Who the heck remodels a kitchen without upper cabinets?)  I've got a 30" range (bog standard american gas range), with nothing above it, and we'd like to put a shelf there.  How high are shelves like that typically mounted?  And what's a standard depth?  I'd like to be able to hang some stuff (pots, or utensils, or both) from it, at least in the back.  

You can put a metal pot rack, as noted by Pastrygirl above the range and many have a "shelf" or metal grid.  Where I live, if there is no exhaust hood, the minimum clearance above a gas cooktop for any cabinet is 48"  - minimum clear space above an electric is 36" 

 

You should check the CODE in your area because if you have a fire - due to the kitchen range or cooktop, and there is not adequate clearance above the burners, your fire insurance can refuse to pay.  

 

Overstock has this one on sale.
