My wife says every family has this drawer. I do not believe every family has this drawer. Do you have this drawer? Do you know a good solution to this drawer?
We have a silverware drawer, organized, maxed out. A sharps drawer, organized, maxed out. Ziplocs, organized, maxed out. Bbq tools and oven mitts, organized, maxed out. But all this shit has no particular category so fuck me right. I gotta have an awkward necessary crap drawer. Maybe I should post all my drawers and crowdsource me some sense into my kitchen.
Yep. The “junk drawer”. Even in my house with my diagnosed OCD mom had one of these.
A junk/misc. drawer? Yes.
Remove the scale, electronics don’t belong in the misc food prep and niche baking implements drawer. Once you do that you’ll easily recognize it as the food prep and niche baking implements drawer. The scale goes on a shelf, or in a cabinet next to the mixer/food proc/salad spinner.
We have the scale on the top at hand all time and use it for everything. Is pretty good for measuring water.
Scale goes right next to the flour in a cabinet.
You’re the worst kind of human. Flour should be haphazardly measured using volume and feelings and a “good enough” mentality.
We have two OP. That drawer is as american as low taxes for the rich.
I’d be more inclined to call this a misc utensils drawer. I have one just like it, with many of the same items, but I also have a true “junk drawer”, but it has anything but utensils in it. Like, batteries, screws, magnifying glass, fire starters, a deck of cards, etc. All of the shit that ends up near the kitchen that doesn’t have a whole space dedicated to similar things, finds a home in the junk drawer.
Sorry OP, we’ve got two in our home.
She’s right. Always.
There isn’t a house in existence that doesn’t have one of these. All houses that exist have one of these by celestial mandate.
Every family has this drawer.
Every single person does not have this drawer.
Every child has this for every drawer.
TIL my wife is a child
FBI… This one right here
Every house have this. And yours is very neetly organised. Congrats. May you “tiroir à bazar” stay this empty of small non identified cluter.
A drawer full of emergency makeshift weapons? Yes. Also a junk drawer? Yes, more than one.
Shit not only does ever house have this drawer, every restaurant I’ve ever worked in has a utensil pan like this.
I have this drawer.
Pfft you call THAT an overstuffed drawer?
I bet you can open it without anything catching the backside of the cabinet, nerd.
But then how do they praise Anoia?
We have long sticks and tools around in case something gets stuck in any drawer, I think last stuck draw was a one of the dinner trays sticking up and we couldnt open the drawer, before that was the cutlery drawer and a long knife sticking up XD
Dinner trays? Those things people used in the 70s to eat dinner infront of the TV?
Yeah, we still use them for different purposes, quite handy at times, can just wipe them over clean and put back in draw. I find them easy to carry food and so does my parents, both mum and I have autoimmune illnesses that affect us, dad has Parkinson’s so gets shakes and is often bit unsteady, so dinner trays help alot :o)
At first I was thinking I don’t have this drawer, but I suppose I have a version of it. Anything that doesn’t get used weekly goes into a misc. box that I store in the pantry to keep clutter out of drawers, e.g. icing spatula, fat separator, some baking items, etc.
My knives are upright on my counter and my scale is in my cabinet though, so that also frees up space. A few trays in your drawer might help?
