My wife says every family has this drawer. I do not believe every family has this drawer. Do you have this drawer? Do you know a good solution to this drawer?
We have a silverware drawer, organized, maxed out. A sharps drawer, organized, maxed out. Ziplocs, organized, maxed out. Bbq tools and oven mitts, organized, maxed out. But all this shit has no particular category so fuck me right. I gotta have an awkward necessary crap drawer. Maybe I should post all my drawers and crowdsource me some sense into my kitchen.
Every household has a junk drawer. Be thankful you don’t have more than one.
This is not a junk drawer! This is a cooking utensil (mostly baking) that has no other good place drawer!
The junk drawer got like, loose screws and scotch tape and batteries and scrap paper and whatnot
This guy has it right. That’s basically my mom’s kitchen gadget drawer. Junk drawer has duct tape, 3 leftover zip ties, some loose AA batteries and the big screwdriver everyone seems to have
The takeout chopsticks on the right must have escaped from the junk drawer/ packet drawer, looking for a better life.
They’re handy for cooking noodles though, but we keep them in a rubber banded bundle.
We have 3. And they’re packed. But I know what’s in there!
As a household that has thankfully many drawers, we unfortunately have more than one.
Every drawer is a junk drawer when I’m around 😏
Every family has this drawer.
Everyone has this drawer, but this one is too organized. It appears to be 100% kitchen tools. You need to add a deck of playing cards, a bunch of soy sauce packets, a few half-used books of matches, a few take-out menus, and some loose keys in order to do this drawer properly.
Where is the ball of asparagus rubber bands?
This drawer is the solution. To everything…
…except getting something out of the drawer.
Throw in birthday candles, rubber bands, and a few coins and you got yourself a proper junk drawer.
You’ve lost this one, and if this was a hill you were prepared to die on I would get ready to lose a lot more.
Every family has this drawer
Of course, the junk drawer.
I don’t think I’ve ever been in a home without one.
Your wife is right mate, this drawer is what makes a house a home.
Yes. Minus the scale, absolutely. It’s the tools that too big for the utensil drawer but too small to take up shelf space in a cabinet.
Remove the scale, electronics don’t belong in the misc food prep and niche baking implements drawer. Once you do that you’ll easily recognize it as the food prep and niche baking implements drawer. The scale goes on a shelf, or in a cabinet next to the mixer/food proc/salad spinner.
I have heard of people without a junk drawer.
Heard of.
Pfft you call THAT an overstuffed drawer?
I bet you can open it without anything catching the backside of the cabinet, nerd.
At least one. Usually more.
