Just avoid storing anything plastic—the heat from the oven could warp or melt it.
⚠️ Important Note: Don’t Use It for Extra Cooking!
One common misconception is that you can cook in the drawer. Even if it’s a warming drawer, it’s not designed to cook or bake food. It doesn’t reach the temperatures needed for safe cooking and can lead to uneven results—or worse, food safety issues.
🧼 Bonus Tip: Keep It Clean!
Because it’s often neglected, the drawer can become a trap for crumbs, spills, or even insects. Every now and then:
- Remove everything from the drawer
- Wipe it down with warm soapy water
- Let it dry completely before replacing items
A clean drawer means cleaner storage—and better food safety!
🏡 The Final Word
So, what’s the real reason for that mysterious drawer under your stove? More than likely, it was designed to keep your food warm, not just hide your baking pans.
Now that you know, you can put it to good use and elevate your cooking game—whether it’s serving dinner at the perfect temperature, proofing dough like a pro, or simply organizing your cookware like a kitchen wizard.
