Kitchen: Almost everyone misuses the drawer under the oven (genius feature!)

Under many ovens is a drawer full of all sorts of kitchen utensils. This drawer has an ingenious function! We’ll tell you how they should be used in the future.

Did you know that your oven can do more than just cook food? You probably also have a drawer under the oven where you store kitchen utensils such as baking trays, baking molds or containers .

Yes, that’s how we’ve all used them up until now. BUT: This is completely wrong! In most ovens, this drawer has a completely different purpose.

The drawer under the oven has an ingenious function

It’s actually designed to – pay attention! – Keep your food warm. That’s right! This drawer is a warming function, which is always needed when food is ready and guests are yet to arrive.

So, gone are the days when you had to preheat your oven to 100 degrees to keep pancakes, potatoes or pies warm, thus literally throwing money out the window. Because now you know about the super warming feature right under the oven. You’re welcome!

A great hook for guests

And one more tip: if you have guests coming over in the near future, just surprise them with your amazing heating feature and show them how clueless they’ve been all these years. Because they’ve probably misused the drawer under the oven.

I’m not allowed to use the kitchen drawer for baking trays anymore?

Yes, of course you are! Essentially, nothing happens to your molds, containers, and other storage items under the oven. But you should always remember that you can actually use the push of a button in a much more practical way, especially if you have kids who don’t know what time it is (or rather, don’t want to know).

So grab your owner’s manual and find out right now if your oven is equipped with this super-practical feature. And if it doesn’t have it, don’t worry. You can still impress your friends and acquaintances with your wisdom.
