Warming dishes
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.

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. |

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 |

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 |

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. |

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. |

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. |

I bake my pizzas in a very hot oven - AFAIC, it's practically cold by the time it's cut and on a plate... and I don't burn my mouth on it, probably because I don't dump a ton of unnecessary cheese on mine. -- sf |

But the "apartment dweller" thing isn't strictly true. I never lived in an apartment where I didn't also have to pay the water bill. So I certainly did care. Jill |
