Warming drawers are sweeping kitchens across the United States! These independent appliances allow you to keep prepared meals hot, to warm plates and even to slow cook and to proof bread dough. Often installed with a matching wall oven, a warming drawer can be coordinated with other kitchen appliances to obtain the look and feel of a streamlined, high-functioning kitchen.
As the countdown to my own cookery renovation continues, it looks as if I'll be adding another appliance to my wish list. I love a piping-hot plate of food, so it seems a built-in streamlined warming drawer is the perfect solution for us.
