What is a drawer under the oven for in the kitchen? Now I have stopped storing pans in it.

Admin

Today I will tell why do you need a drawer under the oven in the kitchen. I'm sure that almost a hundred percent of the people reading this article have a drawer under the oven in the kitchen, and I also think that most people, like me, did not even think about what it is actually needed for, and stored various kitchen utensils in it. I myself have recently learned about the true purpose of this compartment and have now stopped storing pans in it, using it strictly as intended.

What will be properly stored under the oven? It turns out there are two uses for this box. At first, several sets of dishes are stored in it. The thing is that when we cook something in the oven, the temperature in this box also rises. This is what allows heat the dishes slightly, and heated plates and mugs keep food and drinks warm for longer. Sometimes I used to pour boiling water over the mugs before pouring coffee into them, now this is not necessary.

Secondly, in the drawer under the oven you can slightly heat the food, which are easy to overheat in the oven. You can put yesterday's pies or any other pastries in the compartment. Personally, I like to put in this box bread and butter dish with butter. Just in time for lunch or dinner, when the dish is ready in the oven, I put butter on the table, which fits perfectly on a slightly warm loaf. It is also very convenient to "refresh" yesterday's bread in this way.
