'Potential'

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.
-t, that was me, and yes, feel free!

Ooh!
Warming drawers can also revive hypothermic lambs: [link]
My is an Eaton's store brand oven. They closed in the late 90s, so it's around 20 years old. Works fine, though, so I can't justify replacing it. When it goes...I am so getting a two oven stove.

I feel like this happened in a Trixie Belden book, too.

I was going to say, that is a good one, but not mine!
Oops! Thanks Jess, and sorry!
Maybe Feral Boy is remembering an oven like my Grandmother's 30s era one - huge oven, broiler underneath which doubled as a warming oven, that you never had to turn on because the pilot light was always on and provided the warmth.
Mind you, when the wind was from the right direction it could blow out the pilot light and eventually blow up the house if you weren't careful. I'll settle for an electric starter for my gas oven.

And that may be, but the fact that he's shocked -- shocked!!! -- at the age of 60-something that there can be more than one kind of oven with a warming drawer is still a little boggling (just like it was weird as shit that he didn't understand how someone might be sore after lifting weights).
Some people honestly don't feel pain the same way many of us do. Until he died, my dad said he never had a headache. He had felt stomach pains, so I was able to describe it as a stomach pain that you couldn't relieve by throwing up, and he sort of got it. He never claimed that other people didn't have those pains, though. He just didn't experience them himself, and asked for context that would help him understand. (He had troublesome teeth, but never needed anesthetic for dental work, too, as he said he didn't feel much pain from that either.)
