Drawer under the stove: that's why you always used the compartment incorrectly

Almost everyone has a drawer under the stove and almost everyone uses it incorrectly. This is a shame, because the designers assigned the drawer under the stove a very meaningful task that you should definitely know.

Drawer under the stove - that's what it's really there for

Those who can read clearly have an advantage. You will notice this at the latest when household appliances have great functions that you have never used out of ignorance. Or do you know, for example, what the hole in the pot handle is for?

• If you have a conventional oven, it is almost certain that the drawer under the oven has a very special function. However, this is by no means an additional storage space for which the drawer is often misused.
• The drawer under the stove is usually designed to be kept warm. The prerequisite is, of course, that the stove is on. Use the operating instructions to find out whether your drawer is a warming drawer. Sometimes you can recognize it by the fact that the drawer is covered with metal. With the more exclusive models, you will even find a temperature display in the warming drawer.
• The drawer is practical, for example, when the cooked part of the meal is already ready while the food in the oven still needs a few minutes.
• But even if you only warm up the plates, the drawer has already served your purpose. With the preheated plates, you can bring the food to the table hot.
• Note: Especially if the drawer is made of metal, you should not keep any flammable objects in it. The risk of fire is not very high, but it is also not entirely excluded.
