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.

This drawer is the solution. To everything…
You’ve lost this one, and if this was a hill you were prepared to die on I would get ready to lose a lot more.
Throw in birthday candles, rubber bands, and a few coins and you got yourself a proper junk drawer.
Don’t forget the batteries which may or may not have a charge. If you want to modernize it, it should also have some wall warts and USB cables.
It’s the miscellaneous utensil drawer. We have 2. Up top for common ones like can opener, corkscrew… big one on floor for the lesser used ones like rolling pin, flour sifter, hand mixer…
If you are arguing over this, don’t. Not worth it because there’s no better answer unless you have a millionaire mansion with a gazillion drawers
Everyone has this drawer, but this one is too organized. It appears to be 100% kitchen tools. You need to add a deck of playing cards, a bunch of soy sauce packets, a few half-used books of matches, a few take-out menus, and some loose keys in order to do this drawer properly.
This guy knows what he’s talking about
Don’t forget tangled wired headphones, rubber bands, a single battery, loose change, and unevenly folded napkins you’ll never use!
Nah, that’s the junk drawer. This one is all the random kitchen tools drawer. Ladles, can openers, spatulas, meat thermometers, wooden spoons, etc. this and the junk drawer are two different drawers
“the junk drawer” is just too damn real.
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.
I agree but if it’s a small kitchen, I wouldn’t call the scale out of place.
Yes, every household in the developed world has a drawer like this. It’s for things that you hardly need or never need, but might do, one day, probably (not).
Why it bothers me: in a more sane world, this stuff would be shared. Every community would have a junk tool shed - not every household of 4 people, or 2 people, or (increasingly) one person. It’s reminiscent of that drill statistic: the average electric drill is used for 7 minutes in its lifetime. This is madness. Our planet is overflowing with junk. As a species we need to be smarter.
A junk/misc. drawer? Yes.
Every family afaik has at least one of these drawers. Just accept it and live your life.
The “junk drawer” is supposed to have old receipts, loose batteries, the toy(s) you took from your kid when they threw it at your head, some vaguely kitchen-esque looking tool you got as a wedding gift but don’t know what it is…crap like that.
That’s just a normal large/specialty utensil drawer.
Oh we have like 2 of these easy but the junk drawer is for things that don’t touch food
So you have two junk drawers and this drawer. Welcome to the club my friend.
Not to brag but I have two of these and a proper junk drawer.
This is not a junk drawer, there are no coins or condiment packets.
This looks to be a kitchen accessories drawer although I’m unsure why you have a pill cutter in there.
Well this backfired on OP
Ours is a little more organized with dividers, but it doesn’t look much better. Everyone I know has a drawer like that. I’d take the scale out and put it on a shelf. Scales are delicate.
PS, we have the exact same can opener, pizza roller, and grater as you guys.
Every family has that drawer
Every family… I have TWO of them
Two families?
