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.
Just to the left of the stove, and the goddamn potato masher always manages to wiggle its way to the top and block the drawer opening.
It’s also how some fruit is grown so leave the drawer ecosystem alone.
Don’t known, but that big green thing with the clamping white blades…do not put your dick in that.
Dear OP, the only odd thing about your drawer is that your garlic press in in there (unless this is your backup garlic press of course). In our household, we have it in the main cutlery drawer.
BTW, we have several such drawers spread out over our home: one in the kitchen, one in the living room, one in the home office and several in the garage.
Every family has a junk drawer. Just accept it and move on in your life.
I honestly have multiple drawers like it.
We do not have that drawer. My kitchen is tiny and only has 2 drawers. As a result, our entire apartment is a mess
It’s called a junk drawer and as far as I am aware it’s an inevitability. However, I will say it’s odd that you have utensils in there. Most junk drawers I’ve encountered are filled with random crap that rarely if ever gets used.
We have this drawer. Full of kitchen utensils that don’t fit nicely into other drawers.
My parents did not have this drawer. Or at least, not nearly to this extent. Idk how they did it with a smaller kitchen than we have.
I have to sat that the additional of a scale to that drawer is a wild choice
I am ridiculously organized and clean. I do that 5 minutes of swift pickup/wipe a few times each day.
That said, still have this drawer. There is always a collection of items that don’t seem to go “together” but they’re always used. That’s what this drawer is for.
I don’t get the stock picture though. It’s an obvious arrangement of tools that haven’t even been used.
Why is it on the top. It should be second or third.
You have the OCD strain of autism and so do your parents.
What is the green thing with the white blades?
If you already have a maxed out sharps drawer, then you probably don’t actually need any of the knives in this drawer. Like how often do you actually use the pizza cutter? I just cut pizza with a chef knife. Or the egg cutter? How often is that used? Sometimes the answer is to go through all your drawers and see what can be tossed to make space for the things you actually do use.
I also don’t have that drawer, but I have a box next to the toolbox labeled “useful crap that aren’t tools”
Nobody has this drawer. They’re all lying to you, it’s some big in-joke like that reddit thread where that person was asking how to switch from Spanish to English and everybody replied in Spanish. You should stand your ground and tell your wi–I can’t even joke about the level of gaslighting that would entail. Everybody has this drawer.
I’ll be honest though, the scales are a poor fit and probably make it way more cramped. You can stand those up sideways at the edge of a cupboard or in whatever place that you keep cutting boards, because they’re a similar shape.
Depending on how often each thing is used, you could optimise by figuring out a hanging solution for some of them. That’s quite a common thing, hanging under cupboards or on the backsplash part of the wall. Your wife might appreciate something like that as long as it’s agreed on. You’ll never totally get rid of this though.
