Our cupboards are on an outside wall of the kitchen so with the doors
closed they are always on the cool side. I put plates in the oven to heat them a bit so they don't cool the food when served. Cups I'll fill with hot water and let them stand a few minutes. I'd put in a warming drawer if we had the space. Anyone else doing this? |

My Samsung range has a heated warming drawer. I won't use it. It's a useless feature for me but somebody probably uses these things. |

I have a gas range, and the drawer under the oven is a warming drawer. However, I use it for storing cookie sheets and stuff. My dish storage is on an interior wall, anyway, so they stay pretty warm.

Ah, well. I don't care that much about food staying hot. I generally have to wait for it to cool before I can eat it, anyway. A plate at 71 F just speeds that along. Cindy Hamilton |

My gas stove also has a drawer underneath. Like itsjoan, mine is the broiler. You don't want to store things down there. The very few times I've needed to warm plates, and more often bowls, I just get the hot water going then stack them in a clean sink soaking in hot water. Takes like 30 seconds to dry off 4 plates or bowls right before serving. On the opposite side - whenever I want to eat cereal, I like it to stay very cold. I'll put the bowl and also the cereal itself in the fridge or freezer. |

The drawer on my two year old stove is a bit smaller than the drawer that was on my glass cooktop stove. But that's because the oven itself is larger and I installed a pot rack over the kitchen window to make up for that lost storage space. That has worked out quite well. |

That was an ancient gas stove, it's been some 40 years since gas stoves were made with the broiler in a bottom compartment, that was back when gas stoves still had pilot lights. The newer gas stoves have the broiler inside the oven compartment, at the top of the oven... much safer and makes for easy cleaning with the clean cycle. |

Gee whiz, Sheldon...you just described my gas stove perfectly! I love it still. And with the nifty pilot light, it also doubles as an overnight yogurt maker and a dehydrator. |

It had no electronic ignition as mine does; it had pilot lights on each burner and one in the oven as well. My stove that I bought almost two years ago has the 'glow bar' to ignite the oven and of course electronic ignition for the burners. It also has the "Sabbath Mode" which I haven't spent any time learning about. If I lose power I can still use the burners to cook with, they would just be lit with a match but no oven. |

When I moved away from home I burned several pans of food until I got the hang of an electric stove. Going back to a gas range was a bit of an adjustment as well. I had to get used to that instant response from the burners. But it was sorta like riding a bicycle; it all came back to me. :-)) |

Ditto the refrigerator. ![]() actually, since the apartment building was built in the 1920's. There was a butler's pantry with a little door at the bottom into the hallway for the milkman to use. > When I moved away from home I burned several pans of food > until I got the hang of an electric stove.

The adjustment for me was getting used to my current electric range vs. the electric one in my last apartment. They're all different. Oh, and the drawers under all the electric ones I can recall were not warming drawers, they were for extra storage. Jill |

That bottom drawer was either the broiler or just a drawer in all of my ranges until this one. I have a warming drawer now but I don't use it much at all, even though I have a similar problem with the dishes being on an outside wall. I just take them out early. nancy |

My stove/range which is over ten years old has a fifth ring on the glass top, specifically for warming plates - or I often leave gravy on it to keep nice and warm. It's been almost as well used as the other burners over the years, no point in nice, hot food put on a cold plate. |

My grandmother often used an electric 'dish warming pad' to warm dinner dishes. Basically, it is/was very similar to a personal heating pad (electric) only it was very long and folded several times like an accordion. Two plates were usually placed between each of its folds. I tried to find an example on Amazon, Sur la Table, and Williams-Sonoma but had no luck. Ah, but I did find one with Google Images -- http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...ZL._SX300_.jpg which is nearly identical to the one my grandmother used.
