The bottom drawer of the oven is perfect for storing frequently used kitchen utensils such as trays, containers and baking trays. This ensures unobstructed access to these utensils while keeping the kitchen area tidy. It is often equipped with sliding guides, which allows easy access even during baking.
Additional features for improved usability
Some modern ovens have additional functions that further improve the usability of the bottom drawer. For example, the ventilation slots allow air to circulate, which is ideal when baking bread. The possibility of draining moisture through the drawer is also useful in maintaining a crispy crust on baked bread.
