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.
That’s essentially the “overflow” drawer. The only solution is to have less stuff… Or just live with it like i do lol
Almost every home has a junk drawer or other junk container. Mine has multiple.
All that being said, I don’t think I’ve seen a drawer as confusing as this.
Yep. The “junk drawer”. Even in my house with my diagnosed OCD mom had one of these.
Of course, everyone has this drawer. It’s called a junk drawer. Where else would you put this crap. What planet are you living on?
Looks perfectly fine. Ours is the second drawer though. Top one is for cuttlery
I do not have this drawer.
I have two of this drawer.
I’ve got four of those.
Edit: wait, that’s a useful disorganized kitchen drawer. I’ve got two. I should do something about my four junk drawers, and today’s the day, goddammit!
Entropy wins… always. You must free yourself and accept this. You cannot defeat entropy.
Every house has one. My mother with legit OCD had one… though she claimed it was a ‘Miscellaneous’ drawer and not a junk drawer. (To be fair, it was a well organized junk drawer at any rate.)
But yeah, your wife is right.
A junk/misc. drawer? Yes.
This isn’t junk/misc, most of those things should have proper places.
This is a monstrous misuse of the misc drawer. The pizza cutter, for example, should be with your knives.
It’s so not a junk drawer it should be a proper utensil drawer if nothing else. Get that scale out and just line the others up like you live in a society!
It can be sorted quite nicely if you get an organiser division thingy. Even if you’re only going to keep one thing in each section, it’s nice to have each thing in its own place. The difficulty with that is remembering where it’s supposed to be, and that it takes more space.
A little basket is suitable for keeping most of those things if you simply accept that them being in the same basket is actually the correct placement for them.
Bits and bobs drawer. Yep
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.
Scale goes right next to the flour in a cabinet.
You’re the worst kind of human. Flour should be haphazardly measured using volume and feelings and a “good enough” mentality.
yes. whether i asked my mom for one of her recipes she would readily tell me the ingredients… but whenever i asked how much of the thing to put she would get really confused. like, about 🤏 this much…
You. I like you.
We have the scale on the top at hand all time and use it for everything. Is pretty good for measuring water.
I keep my scale in the cocaine room.
I’d be more inclined to call this a misc utensils drawer. I have one just like it, with many of the same items, but I also have a true “junk drawer”, but it has anything but utensils in it. Like, batteries, screws, magnifying glass, fire starters, a deck of cards, etc. All of the shit that ends up near the kitchen that doesn’t have a whole space dedicated to similar things, finds a home in the junk drawer.
There isn’t a house in existence that doesn’t have one of these. All houses that exist have one of these by celestial mandate.
There are probably houses out there somewhere that do not have one of these, but I have never encountered one. They appear with the same frequency as 10 million dollar lottery tickets.
