I would love to replace our 17 year old oven. It's never really been the same since the electrical fire.

In my (gas, newish) oven, there is a switch to turn the warming drawer on. Presumably the engineers in charge of oven design have connected this switch to some sort of heating element. Is this not, generally, how ovens work?

brillig
If I do have a drawer below my oven, I wouldn't use it, because I don't want to bend over that far.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Unrelated to ovens, but related to warm plates, have I posted here about how warming up the plate before putting waffles on it is a gamechanger? I just use hot water on the plate. (It was part of the "serving suggestion" on the waffle box, and they were CORRECT.)

Because books.
My gas oven has the broiler underneath, but I don't like it because it's so shallow -- I'm always afraid of burning things.
In an apartment in NJ, years ago when Jake was a baby, we had the most kick-ass oven from the '40s ('30s?) that had a broiler underneath and the side compartment for warming and the built-in griddle on top, like this: [link] I loved it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
God, I am already so tired of correcting false stories about Trump. He does plenty of stupid shit as it is, why do we have to invent things? It completely destroys our credibility.

We do that for dinner pretty much every night in the winter, because even though the thermostat says 68, that's a dirty lie in the kitchen.

Oh, so jealous, Amy! Those are the best.
This is my oven. No drawers: [link]
Jesse, I would like to tag
I do somehow feel that the inability of people to accept that there are many different kinds of oven drawers in the world is a metaphor for what is wrong with America, though.

Oh, crap, I ordered something to pick up at Target and I forgot to do that on the way in. Needing to do work is really getting in the way of my getting stuff I want to do done.
