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.

I'd just point out that most of that drawer could be replaced with a good knife. I mean is cutting garlic really so onerous you need a fancy doodad? Even the zesters functionality could be done with a knife. I hate to be judgey bastard, but that drawer smacks of consumerism and excess. With the exception of the mixer prongs and the scale I'm not seeing anything needed in a residential kitchen.

You can at least make some compartments so it's not all jumbled together

But yes, I do have a couple of those drawers

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

We don't have one like that. Though most of our kitchen is well organized in drawers.

I have a large silverware drawer with a silverware tray. The area around the silverware tray is that drawer though

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah it's a thing. I've made wood box type things to separate the drawer out and try to keep it slightly organised.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Yes, all homes have this drawer. Only way to get rid of it is to move. Just leave it all behind.

We have like 3 junk drawers. The get filled with so much shit that we don't know what to do with that we just find another drawer

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I by myself only have a single drawer(don't need/have more) but for my parents this is devinetively true. They have one for metal pieces, one for plastic pieces and one for cutlery. The fourth drawer is for all the stuff that isn't really needed that often or simply to big to be put into one of the other drawers.

I have an entire spare dresser that has nothing but these drawers

First thing I'd do is recycle that stupid plastic whatsit and the egg slicer that got used once.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago

Yes we all have it.

Planer, pizza cutter, egg cutter, and scraper go in the knife drawer. Funnel goes with measuring cups, scale goes on the counter or take the stuff out from under it so it sits flat. Garlic press and that chacram looking thing go in the trash.

In our house this is similar to the spoons drawer, the drawer that holds all the stirring utensils for cooking.
