Do you really know what the drawer is for under your stove? Most people don't know.

You may be using it to store your plates and saucepans... but did you know that the drawer under your stove has a much more convenient function? Badly understood and often underestimated, this space can greatly facilitate your daily life in the kitchen. This is all you need to know about its real role and how to use it effectively.

A main function: keep the dishes warm

Contrary to popular belief, this drawer is not just a storage space. On many cooking models, it is actually a heater designed to keep your dishes at temperature without altering their texture.

Its advantages:

• Keep the dishes warm while waiting to go to the table.
• Ideal for storing meals for family members who eat at different times.
• Prevents the drying of food, unlike the microwave.

Tip: Place your dishes in heat-resistant containers to avoid damage.

Other astute uses

If you like cooking, you can get even more benefits from this drawer.

• Raising the dough: The soft and stable temperature of this space is perfect to help the dough swell homogeneously.
• Dry aromatic herbs: This drawer offers an ideal environment for smooth drying, thus preserving all their flavors.
• Warm up plates: As in the restaurant, keep your plates warm before serving to prevent your dishes from cooling too fast once on the plate.
