I really miss what it should be

I grew up with MTV. Oh, those were the days...

This. So many arguements about putting the toilet seat up/down when honestly, everyone should just close the lid once they’re done. The particles spread up to 6 m (19 ft) otherwise.

Ace Ventura is all I can think of! "Everyone loves a slinky!"

Cleaning your keyboard?

Most new oven models don't have this

I have *never* owned or used an oven that has these drawers. I don't think they are anywhere near as ubiquitous as some people think they are.

I have a fitted oven with two drawers underneath it... which are used for for pan storage! LOL

i don't have that?

Some are for warming, some are just storage. I would know since I used to sell ranges, and they were labelled that way.

I think...( I could be wrong, that happens a lot, lol) that originally, that was how that drawer came to be-as a warming drawer. And it makes sense-the oven is, right on top of that drawer, everything is already metal-insulated; I would guess it would be perfect place to let bread rise, would it not? But all I have ever seen is it's used for pan storage. Would older ovens really make a difference? Stove is still on top of the oven...where I live, I have a glass top oven.( hate it. Never get one. Trust me). This glass top oven has a "warmer spot" in between the "stovetop eyes", but it also has a drawer. I am gonna go preheat my oven to 350, right now, and see if my drawer gets warm, because this is going to drive me nuts-I gotta do it. If anybody is curious, I will let u know what I find out shortly.

Not all have a warming drawer. Mine has a storage space underneath and not a drawer.

Mine does not get warm.

i use it to keep my teas

When was young, the bottom drawer on my moms stove was a Broiler. And she used as such for many years.

My warming drawer was so shallow it was useless for keeping food warm.

Bottom drawer of my oven is for storage. I read the owner's manual

That' because they are always incredibl dirty. I don't know why, i cleaned it often enough, but I sure as hell don't put food in there!

I have an old home so no built in and mine is free standing but the drawer on the bottom is just that. A drawer.

Yep. Store pots and pans. Too dirty for food.

My dad told me about how it USED to be a warming drawer, but removed that feature recently. I've reached in there to grab a pan while the oven was on, and it wasn't even warm.

I use it for both. It heats up slower than the main oven. So I only use it when the primary oven is full. I store extra cookie sheets in both the main oven and the bottom oven.

We store our flattened cardboard boxes in there to recycle

Not 100%. We use it for warming things. Maybe 99.99%

I never knew that. Now, where do I store all those pans?

My bottom drawer is another oven.

What... I always store pots and pans in them

TIL....duh I never knew this was not just a lid drawer...lol. When I grew up we had a broiler down there

My kitchen has a separate unit drawer under the oven, but it's not connected to the oven at all, and doesn't get warm at all. I wish I had a plate warmer!

the drawer on the bottom of my oven is the broiler

They don’t keep anything warm any better than just wrapping it in aluminum foil and setting it on the counter.

Wait... what? Now I have to check if mine is that :o

I wish I had one To store my oven dishes in

Oh, I do use it!

don't have one , haven't since the 90's

My oven doesn't have such a drawer.

Not all drawers are meant for warming. My oven doesn't even have one

That's a warming drawer?!?!

If oven drawers were meant to keep food warm, God wouldn't have invented microwaves

Isn't this in a lot of first aid kits and such for this exact reason?

Wonder how many minutes it took after the initial product release that 1st forester thought that it would be funny to shoot Mike on back.. Maybe hours but definetly not days..

Cherries and peaches as well...

Now this makes a lot of sense.

It's been approved for use as a human sedative, it's used in operating rooms and ICUs. And remember those Thai kids that were trapped in the flooded cave? Each kid got a shot of Ketamine before the final rescue, it kept them quiet as heroic spent hours dragging them to safety through a dangerous flooded cave.

. . . In mental health institutions.
