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.
its the miscellaneous drawer, its normal, we have a whole misc cabinet.
Correct, we have this drawer. And what sucks is that it has been broken for about 20 years.
It’s the stuff drawer. Why are you like this?
Bench / pastry scraper next to the end grain cutting board on counter (that’s how I clean it most often). Microplane and pizza cutter (Italian chef knife) get hung. Funnel covers a teacup protecting it’s rare use from excess dust / atomized oils in the kitchen. Garlic press is a waste of money when you have knife skills. -Citrus juicer likewise (cut 1/3 slabs around the core using the geometry to make squeezing efficient).
Yeah we have a knife skills class we’ve been meaning to book since I received it for Christmas last year
How did you get in my house!?
(yes, we have this exact drawer, though I moved the scale to another drawer)
The “junk drawer” is supposed to have old receipts, loose batteries, the toy(s) you took from your kid when they threw it at your head, some vaguely kitchen-esque looking tool you got as a wedding gift but don’t know what it is…crap like that.
That’s just a normal large/specialty utensil drawer.
Oh we have like 2 of these easy but the junk drawer is for things that don’t touch food
So you have two junk drawers and this drawer. Welcome to the club my friend.
That’s not even a proper junk drawer, that’s all kitchen gadgets, but okay… Yes, in my experience, most households have a junk drawer.
Shit not only does ever house have this drawer, every restaurant I’ve ever worked in has a utensil pan like this.
Every house have this. And yours is very neetly organised. Congrats. May you “tiroir à bazar” stay this empty of small non identified cluter.
Every family has this drawer.
Every single person does not have this drawer.
Every child has this for every drawer.
You could build our repurpose something like a silverware organiser, but fitted to the items in there.
But the true travesty: the scale should be easily accessible and in constant use tsk tsk
(We don’t have such a drawer btw)
You guys can open THE drawer?!
Yes we all have it.
I have whole cabinets like this
We have four of these drawers. What helps is organization trays of different sizes and a junk cupboard.
Long skinny things fit here, curved things go here, bulky things get piled up in the cupboard.
Sorry OP - we all hate it too, but everyone has this. Your drawer doesn’t even look that bad. (You were able to OPEN it!)
