Why don't ovens have warming drawers anymore. I'm cooking Christmas dinner on my new oven and wonder how others manage without a warming drawer? I used to cook the veggies and keep them warm until everyone sat down. I don't have a microwave.

I used my new cooker on Christmas Day. It's a new model which came with the property and has a door that opens downwards instead of sideways. I notice that these cookers are popular on cookery prpogrammes.

My dear old oven had a door that opened sideways and a separate grill that could be used as a big warming drawer.

I nearly broke my leg because I had the downwards opening perishing oven door open and I fell over it - luckily I only have a bruise.

I suppose I'll get used to it but what was wrong with the old type of door.

My posts keep flying away and posting twice. Anyone know why this is?
