That drawer under your stove isn't meant for storing cutting boards and pan lids. Do you know what it's really supposed to be used for? The answer will surprise you!

I spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen. And like lots of folks, I'm always looking for ways to better organize my kitchen space.

I have our cupboards as efficiently organized as possible. I think. A place for everything and everything in it's a place...or something like that.

And you know that drawer at the bottom of the stove just under the oven? We keep all our cookie sheets and cutting boards in there. Isn't that what it's for? Turns out, not so much.

Do you know what it's really designed for?

According to Business Insider, the big stove cartels put that drawer underneath the oven to be used as a WARMING DRAWER!

It's meant to be used to keep cooked foods warm.

I don't know anyone that knew this. I've asked.

Everyone I've confronted with the “Ya know what that drawer at the bottom of the stove is for?” has answered with a version of … “It's to keep pan lids and crap in.”

And another thing...why do I need a special drawer to keep my frozen pizzas and chicken nugs from cooling off?

Iowa Palmer Company's Twin Bing Products

Can you even really claim to live in this part of the country if you've never had a Twin Bing?

WHAT IS A TWIN BING?

"It consists of two round, chewy, cherry-flavored nougats coated with a mixture of chopped peanuts and chocolate. The Twin Bing was introduced in the 1960s," -Wikipedia

Not only has the TB been a staple of the Sioux Empire for over half a decade, but the makers of the classic candy have also infused the unique cherry and chocolate flavor into lots of other things.
