If you ask just about anyone, most people will claim that they use the drawer at the bottom of their oven as a place to store their baking sheets, utensils, or anything else oven or stove related.

While this is a great use of space, that’s not what it was actually designed for. In reality, it is supposed to be used as a warming drawer once your food has been cooked. Keep your oven on warm and throw your food in there and never suffer from cold food again while waiting for everyone to sit at the table.
