The drawer located under many stovetops is actually designed to be a warming drawer. Its primary function is to keep cooked foods warm until they are ready to serve. This feature is especially useful when you are preparing multiple dishes for a meal or when guests are late.

Additionally, storing flammable materials like plastic or paper can be dangerous if the drawer is accidentally opened. It is important to understand the drawer's intended use to avoid these potential hazards.
