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.
Every household has a junk drawer. Be thankful you don’t have more than one.
This is not a junk drawer! This is a cooking utensil (mostly baking) that has no other good place drawer!
The junk drawer got like, loose screws and scotch tape and batteries and scrap paper and whatnot
This guy has it right. That’s basically my mom’s kitchen gadget drawer. Junk drawer has duct tape, 3 leftover zip ties, some loose AA batteries and the big screwdriver everyone seems to have
The takeout chopsticks on the right must have escaped from the junk drawer/ packet drawer, looking for a better life.
They’re handy for cooking noodles though, but we keep them in a rubber banded bundle.
The junk drawer should contain nothing that touches food. We have a couple of those outside of the kitchen
100%.
Also, we have two of these.
Yes. Minus the scale, absolutely. It’s the tools that too big for the utensil drawer but too small to take up shelf space in a cabinet.
This. The scale is the only issue here, but it’s a big one lol
You’re the third person to be opposed to the scale that I’ve seen in this thread. This drawer is exactly where the scale lives in my house. TBH, the OP’s drawer looks a lot like mine.
Edit: I found a fourth
I jest about the severity of course, but for me the scale is just too far from the shape of everything else in the drawer to belong there.
I feel loony for expressing this thought at all.
My scale lives happily in this drawer too
Every family has this drawer
What?
We def need more pic responses like this!!!
Every family has this drawer.
Pfft you call THAT an overstuffed drawer?
I bet you can open it without anything catching the backside of the cabinet, nerd.
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)
Well fair play to ya! Surprised they’re still a thing but that makes a lot of sense.
Ty, mum informs me they have a tray in the boot of the car…lol…I didn’t ask why XD
Yes, everyone has this
I prefer this song about the drawer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIIdTcWIUOk
🤣
These misc drawers are the best way to worship anoia, Goddess of Things That Get Stuck in Drawers (also luck).
GNU Sir Terry
And a slight odour of cigarette smoke …
I wish my drawer was that empty.
I regrettably also have this drawer.
Attempts at cleaning it usually end up with the drawer now being somewhere else, but it clings to life somehow.
I think they’re just a fact of life at this point.
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.
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.
I like having the right ratio of flour to salt, so my bread doesnt have that awful paste-y flour taste.
Ehhh ok even my most chaotic breads have been good as long as the yeast takes. I don’t know about a paste-y taste unless the yeast fails.
Ever accidentally made bread without salt? That flavor.
We have the scale on the top at hand all time and use it for everything. Is pretty good for measuring water.
Where is the ball of asparagus rubber bands?
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.
TIL my wife is a child
Not only does everyone have one of these, they suffer from quantum entanglement.
