In the current rental, it is just a drawer that I don't use, since the previous tenant left his/her pot lids in there, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-use-that-warmer-drawer-under-the-oven/page/2#post-632031 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:59:28 +0000 Meridian 632031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just checked for a warming button, but was disappointed not to find one :( Ours is just a drawer... I guess that's a good thing, it would be a pain to take everything out and put things back in just to keep something warm, haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-use-that-warmer-drawer-under-the-oven/page/2#post-632024 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 18:56:39 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 632024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just made DH go check for a button. We just moved in here, so I thought our new oven might be fancy.<br /> No. Its just a drawer. It holds our baking sheets and pans, and that's about all. If it gets warm, its only because of proximity.<br /> Too bad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-use-that-warmer-drawer-under-the-oven/page/2#post-631762 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 16:59:23 +0000 StbHisMrs 631762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I believe ours is just a drawer, bummer. I told my dh that our next oven is going to be a double oven (smaller "pie" oven ontop and regular oven on the bottom) I'm terrible at timing food to be ready at the same time, this would help!!</p> <p>I love love love my broiler, my oven has a high broil or low broil, I love crispy tops on dishes. I know I used love toomany times in one sentence ;)</p> <p>@Mrs. Pen: In our old house we had an oven that smoked with the broiler, it was awful, set the alarm off every time... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-use-that-warmer-drawer-under-the-oven/page/2#post-631745 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 16:51:50 +0000 BSB 631745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always use it for storage. Is it really a warming drawer? I live in an apartment so it came with the place. Maybe I can look up the manual for it. </p> <p>It would be cool if it was a warming drawer but I actually need the storage more. It will probably stay a storage drawer for me. LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-use-that-warmer-drawer-under-the-oven/page/2#post-631736 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 16:49:10 +0000 Mrs. Twine 631736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen; so is ours. My DH hates me a little because I unplug it ALL the time. I just don't love having loud screeching while I cook. I'd much rather some actual music. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-use-that-warmer-drawer-under-the-oven/page/2#post-631731 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 16:46:40 +0000 Mrs. Pen 631731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Monkula: our fire alarm is crazy sensitive so that doesn't help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-use-that-warmer-drawer-under-the-oven/page/2#post-631717 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 16:42:29 +0000 Mrs. Twine 631717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen, I'd just drop the rack as far down as I could. Then you can sort-of control how much browning you get. Worth a try. I hate when it smokes or over-does it. Especially on creme brulee (yeah, cook that I am, I still haven't invested in a torch). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-use-that-warmer-drawer-under-the-oven/page/2#post-631699 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 16:39:03 +0000 Mrs. Pen 631699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Monkula: I can't. It's not a digital oven, it's the same knob to set the oven temp. Right after the highest oven temp, it just says broil. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-use-that-warmer-drawer-under-the-oven#post-631692 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 16:37:19 +0000 Mrs. Twine 631692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw. Mine is actually a second oven, and I use it all the time, either on "keep warm" or to cook side dishes if I need another temp. It would be sacrilege to just keep stuff in there. You should try using it to keep foods at optimal serving temp.-- I am almost certain you'll think it's great. We used it to keep our pancakes warm yesterday because I only do two at a time on our griddle. Most ovens the warming drawer isn't controllable, in which case I would probably just use for storage. To @Mrs. Pen: can you control the broiler temp? Sounds like yours just defaults to being too hot. Try dropping it down 50 degrees or so. Or you could just lower the rack so the food isn't so close if you can't set temperature. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-use-that-warmer-drawer-under-the-oven#post-631652 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 16:28:28 +0000 banana 631652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG that's a warmer drawer??

Didn't know that!</p> <p>On our oven, the broiler is built into the oven and then the warmer drawer is just a separate thing under that. I've used the broiler, but never the warmer drawer... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-use-that-warmer-drawer-under-the-oven#post-631388 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 15:11:15 +0000 oliviaoblivia 631388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Don't everyone get too excited. The drawer is a broiler on some ranges but not all.<br /> If the drawer is deep and has sides it is just a drawer. If it has a slotted metal tray, gets warm while the oven is on and is relatively shallow it's a broiler.<br /> You can also check by looking for the heating element. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-use-that-warmer-drawer-under-the-oven#post-631381 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 15:09:29 +0000 yerpie110 631381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Whattttt never knew it was a warmer drawer!

You can set it (to a temperature maybe?) and then stick stuff in there to keep it warm.</p> <p>I haven't actually used it before...

We store our pans there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-use-that-warmer-drawer-under-the-oven#post-631287 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:51:13 +0000 BoogieBea 631287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have one. But I do have a smaller oven. I'm guessing the smaller oven is used for warming. But it functions the same as the regular oven. It's great for small dishes. </p>
