What’s in your kitchen drawer?

I only have a stack of three small drawers in my kitchen; the top one holds cutlery and cooking utensils in daily use, the second holds graters, potato mashers, measuring cups and less often used things. The bottom is reserved for mandolins, trussing string and the accessories for my ancient rotisserie.

Now the two sideboard drawers in the living room are complete glory holes holding all of your items and many many more, including a set of clockwork dentures, playing cards, stapler and hole punch, a bag of rather sticky Werther's toffees, assorted business cards and something solid that is stopping me opening the right hand one more than two inches...

Cutlery in one, with a small pot for odd buttons etc and pens and notelets for shopping lists. Cooking implements, rolling pin, wooden spoons, masher etc in another. Third contains freezer bags, bin bags, string, drawing pins and suchlike.

A ball of string and a tape measure among my cutlery and utensils.

Drawers under cookers hold baking tins and so on. Drawers beneath hob hold cutlery, crockery and casserole dishes. A bank of three drawers holds kitchen gadgets, freezer bags and oven gloves.
There is absolutely no junk allowed in my kitchen.

As they say in France
Sans paroles

Nice worktop Maw
and what I can see of the drawer front looks nice
And I like the floor

I just need a new kitchen then I can clear out all my junk.

it depends, I have pull out drawers in a big cupboard for tins etc
but there are never enough drawers, although 15 sounds nearly enough!

If I include the pull out cupboard thingie I have 20 drawers
Never thought to count them before.

Any Terry Pratchett fans who remember Anoia, the Godess of things that get stuck in drawers?

Um, everything except the kitchen sink? (sorry)

Well, two big drawers, one has pans, frying pans. graters, scales and a trivet, one with all the bits for my kenwood, roasting tins of varying sizes and baking trays of varying sizes.

Cutlery drawer
Knife and scissors drawer
Drawer for other stuff - measuring spoons, whisks, servers, egg topper and timer and spatula type things.
Drawer with foil, film, greaseproof paper and baking parchment and some of those liner type things.
Tea towel drawer
Towel drawer
Drawer with table mats and serviettes
Drawer with doilies, cup cake cases, cake tin liners paper napkins.
Drawer with aprons, oven gloves, pvc table cover
Children's craft drawer.
Drawer with unused but possibly eventually useful things - potato masher, serviette rings, knife steel etc, etc
Drawer with freezer bag clips, bottle stoppers, thingy for opening ring pulls and a thingy for opening jars.

But, I suspect you are asking about THE drawer - that contains chalk, drawing pins, blue tack, bits of string, a pot for £1 coins, bobbles, a screwdriver and anything else that needs a home!!

Oh, I forgot the tall cupboard in the utility room used for storing 'dry' goods - that has 7 drawers!

Most of the above, plus the wallpaper I line them with, cat's flea stuff that I only remember when it's out of date, Christmas cracker goodies that just might come in handy for something, used stamps, sticky labels, fuse wire because we may of course have to go back to the old boxes one day , fuses (but never the right one), chopsticks and kebab skewers, old books of matches that never strike, unmatched baby cutlery, rusty twist ties, a couple of needles stuck in a cork, spare toothbrush, instructions for how to reset the oven and microwave clocks, fruit knives inherited from my DGM, some weird instrument that I think might be for finishing off creme brulee, and an oversized carving set in case we ever fancy a suckling pig for tea. We've only got three drawers.....

Please come and organise mine, Harrigran.
Clockwork dentures? Hmm

I know what they don’t have, and that’s the Christmas Tree biscuit cutter I bought last year! The star, holly leaf and snowman cutters are there but the tree? Vanished without trace

I have only three small drawers in the kitchen - one for cutlery but large things and wooden spoons go in a pot, one has foil, clingfilm, bin bags and a few things like pizza cutter, potato perler, can opener, and third is for junk like instruction books, sellotape, batteries, scissors etc.
I had to buy small baskets for things like tea towels, cleaning cloths and other junk, to make up for lack of drawer space.

I have four drawers in kitchen, two very small so I like starbird use baskets too

I think this thread proves that 'stuff' expands to fill the drawers available!

This was what my mother calls the "toot" drawer.

You usually find rubber bands, various other fastening gadgets, pencils, crayons and bits of chalk and those little plastic sachets of liquid or powder that you get with cut flowers.

In mine, I have toothpicks, labels for the freezer, plus various odd screws, nuts and bolts and broken off handles and hooks; I don't know where any of them belong.

But even reading these lists makes me want to go and tidy out my drawers - and thoroughly wash my hands!

My drawers consists of, from the top down;
Cutlery
Serving spoons, forks rolling pin and baking utensils.
Tea towels, table cloths
Recipe books. (Seldom used these days).

I have another slim drawer under a display cabinet for my fancy glasses and posh mugs. It holds batteries, odd things I don't have a use for, along with take away menus and other small bits of household detritus.

Eglantine I love Terry Pratchett's small gods.

This page isn't long enough to list the contents of my drawer ! I only have the one shallow one plus 2 pan drawers in my tiny kitchen. The knives, forks and spoons are in an upright tub on the window sill and I have an overflow container plus hooks on the wall for long tools, sugar thermometer, pizza scissors and 3 sizes of ice cream scoop for baking. Some of the items date back to my mother's day, like the crinkle veg cutter. Believe it or not I can lay my hand to anything immediately.
