The kitchen area is often considered the heart of any home, where much of the time is spent preparing meals and socializing with family and friends. An essential appliance found in most kitchens is the stove, usually accompanied by a mysterious drawer beneath the oven.

Clearing up the misunderstanding about storage

Many people mistakenly think of the drawer under the oven as a storage space for pots, pans and other kitchen accessories. However, this assumption overlooks important considerations.

Storing items in this drawer can pose significant risks due to the intense heat coming from the oven. Plastic containers or flammable materials stored in this drawer can melt or catch fire, posing a hazard. Additionally, storing items obstructs proper ventilation around the oven, which can lead to cleanliness issues due to accumulated crumbs and debris.
