Ask Lemmy

A junk/misc. drawer? Yes.

You could get rid of half of that stuff at least

Sorry OP, we've got two in our home.

Shit not only does ever house have this drawer, every restaurant I've ever worked in has a utensil pan like this.

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.

Yes we all have it.

Proud junk drawer owner checking in.

Every family has this drawer.

Every single person does not have this drawer.

Every child has this for every drawer.

Looks good

One drawer? We have house full of these, cupboards and a garage XD

I want to know how OP would like this drawer to look instead. Random kitchen utensils always seem to get shoved in a drawer like this

I live alone and have this drawer.

Every house have this. And yours is very neetly organised. Congrats. May you "tiroir à bazar" stay this empty of small non identified cluter.

That's easy:

We have four of these drawers. What helps is organization trays of different sizes and a junk cupboard.

Long skinny things fit here, curved things go here, bulky things get piled up in the cupboard.

Sorry OP - we all hate it too, but everyone has this. Your drawer doesn’t even look that bad. (You were able to OPEN it!)

This is true. It is the "occasional use kitchen drawer"

You could build our repurpose something like a silverware organiser, but fitted to the items in there.

But the true travesty: the scale should be easily accessible and in constant use tsk tsk

(We don't have such a drawer btw)

Ah yes, the "junk" drawer. I have three! :-)

Not only does everyone have one of these, they suffer from quantum entanglement.

You guys can open THE drawer?!

Pfft you call THAT an overstuffed drawer?

I bet you can open it without anything catching the backside of the cabinet, nerd.

Your wife is correct.

It's the stuff drawer. Why are you like this?

Well this backfired on OP

I have whole cabinets like this

where's the sauce packets?

I also have this drawer

That's not even a proper junk drawer, that's all kitchen gadgets, but okay... Yes, in my experience, most households have a junk drawer.

Throw in birthday candles, rubber bands, and a few coins and you got yourself a proper junk drawer.
