Every house has that 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)
Junk drawer. Yes, everyone has one.
We have a junk room. LOL.
I also don't have that drawer, but I have a box next to the toolbox labeled "useful crap that aren't tools"
The only surprise is that your family didn't have this drawer, apparently?
I have no drawers that are not this drawer.
I don't get why it bothers you, well, maybe it's not a serious disagreement idk.
You could get rid of half of that stuff at least
Yep, we all do. Although you might be going a little far in putting the food scale in there.
its the miscellaneous drawer, its normal, we have a whole misc cabinet.
What do you mean? This is organized! And I have such a drawer too. This is the collection of slightly large kitchen tools that are not large enough to place them in the cupboard.
Whether every family has this drawer or not, I wouldn't know, so I'm not very helpful with settling your argument. I'd bet, every family has this drawer though. Because everyone must have those kinds of utensils, and there's no other logical place to store them. Some people hang some of them on the wall, but even then, there are some that cannot be hung on the wall. Those go into this drawer.
Every family has a junk drawer. Just accept it and move on in your life.
We have that drawer. Two of them in fact.
This is true. It is the "occasional use kitchen drawer"
Yes, and as others have mentioned, the scale sits on the counter since it's delicate.
First thing I'd do is recycle that stupid plastic whatsit and the egg slicer that got used once.
Hate to say it, but just about everyone I know has a junk drawer, myself included. Same as you with the other drawers, organized to the max, but the junk drawer will always be the junk drawer.
Don't known, but that big green thing with the clamping white blades...do not put your dick in that.
I also have this drawer
That's easy:
Not in the kitchen but I have a (very large) one for electronics and batteries and it's the worst. Tools and screws. Office supplies.
This kitchen one you could neat up a bit if it really annoys you. Put the scales in a cupboard upright against the side. Maybe get a nicer scale, that one looks naff. Trash the salad shears. What a terrible idea. Put the pizza / dough metal thingie on a wall mounted magnet for knives and stuff. Maybe put some of the other metal stuff there idk. Everything else is pretty small so you can put in dividers for that. The grater and ladle go in the same compartment.
Unless of course you think your wife should tidy up this drawer in which case you can just absolutely fuck off. Into the ocean. Die and get eaten by scavengers.
Edit: oh, that's a meat tenderiser, not a ladle. Everything else stands.
We have 3 of them: misc kitchen utensils and tools, misc containers, and misc stuff that does not even belong in the kitchen, but ends up there because that's the only drawers in the house that don't have clothes in them.
If you want to organize it some, you can build or buy dividers and split it up.
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!)
I do have it.
Yeah it's a thing. I've made wood box type things to separate the drawer out and try to keep it slightly organised.
It's the stuff drawer. Why are you like this?
That one drawer won't look messy, if every drawer looks like this. *taps forehead *
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
Of course I have that drawer. Why do you need a solution? What's the problem?
