Since it's just the 2 of us, if we ever need to keep plates warm, they go in the oven, and the warming drawer continues to fulfill its role as storage.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

No warming drawer. Just the oven set on 200.

I would love a proving drawer... or two ovens! And a whole new kitchen, while I'm at it.

I hated having the broiler at the bottom. I had to kneel on the floor to get it anything in r out. And then figure out how to stand from kneeling while holding photo things

I dream of a pantry. We run out of cabinet space all the time.

This conversation reminds me I need to check if I have a drawer beneath my oven for storing the additional pots and pans currently taking up all my extra counter space.

In old gas ovens, where the pilot light stayed on all the time, the broiler could double as a warming drawer. Now that they have electric starters for safety purposes there's no residual heat waiting to be put to good use.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Look at bennett, with actual historical context and shit.

In the FB post I was talking about, one guy was genuinely confused about how electric ovens can have a warming drawer and asked "what is the source of heat when the oven is off." I deserve a cookie for not replying TURN THE OVEN ON, MOTHERFUCKER. (I said "I assume the oven has to be on." What the shit, guy. [This is the same guy who was genuinely confused as to how/why my arms could POSSIBLY be sore after lifting weights. For realsies. He wasn't trolling. I'm starting to think that Feral Boy from The Tick was based on him.])

Also, was Feral Boy part of the Civic-Minded Five, or am I misremembering?
