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.
Every family has a misc. drawer. Staplers, pens, rubber bands, paper clips. Lots of office supplies usually but it often will broaden out to all kinds of random crap.
That one is not exactly what I’d expect in the misc drawer but it’s not totally out of bounds?
This is not a junk drawer. A junk drawer has flashlights, pocket knife, some tools, tape, bandaids, pens. This drawer doesn’t have anything like that.
This is the food prep drawer.
I have three food utensil drawers. Dining, serving, and prep.
If you have a small kitchen, maybe you would combine serve and prep utensils into one drawer.
Can opener, cheese grater, scale, rolling pin, whisks, mixer parts, and cooking knives, all go into drawer. But like the bread knife and cake knife go into serve drawer, along with labels, and serving spoons, for example.
My wife has serious ADHD, this is every drawer.
Every family has a junk drawer. Just accept it and move on in your life.
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.
