Broiler Drawer

Some ovens come with a broiler drawer, which is meant for roasting vegetables, browning casseroles, and desserts (like crème brulée). Although it can be very practical, caution is required when using it. Unlike the main part of the oven, it doesn’t have a window to see through so you need to open it often to check on your dish.

Warming Drawer

Some stove drawers are meant for warming up food or keeping the fresh food warm until you’re ready to take it out. This is great for holidays and all kinds of gatherings, as well as for the dishes that shouldn’t get cold before serving.

Storage Drawer

Your oven drawer may just be a simple storage drawer, but it’s still useful. If you store some of the bigger dishes there, you will free up the counter and cabinet space for more cute cups and bowls. They look better than pots and baking sheets anyway.

Alternative Way to Boil Water

If you need to cook something on low temperature, your pot may sit for on the stove for a long time before the water gets warm. Instead, you can boil some water in the kettle and add it to the cold water in the pot to speed up the process.

For Pasta When You’re Too Hungry to Wait

Similarly, a kettle can help you skip the waiting time for pasta cooking (or any other cooking). Instead of starting with cold water, you can pour hot water from the kettle into the pot and move from there.

To Make Coffee

If you like to experiment with coffee and use tools like a French press, you know they often require hot, but not boiling water, and you can achieve this in a few minutes with a kettle.

For Instant Ramen

You can make instant ramen in a microwave, but in case you don’t have room for one, a kettle will help you do the trick.
