Frequently Asked Questions

Warming Drawers

Entertainers love to have people over for dinner, but there's not always room to keep all of your dishes hot and ready to eat. Maybe you're not a perfect entertainer, but you're the designated family host, or a home chef: no matter what, your oven will likely run out of room to house all of your recipes. Warming drawers are the perfect solution to this ever-present issue: "I'm out of space to cook". These kitchen appliances are often installed near wall ovens, in a kitchen island or even outdoors. Wherever yours is installed, it will function similarly: to keep cooked foods at a temperature that's ready to serve. Casserole dishes, desserts, appetizers. If left on the countertop, these foods can easily lose heat quickly. Make sure you pick a warming drawer that best fits your home and your needs.

The Right Function & Fit

Just like ranges, dishwashers and other kitchen appliances, there are a few different key features you should consider when choosing warming drawers for your home. First, consider how you'd likely use it. Are you that entertainer, who often hosts several people for holidays and parties? Or do you cook lots of food for a larger family? Consider how these appliances function. Many will have a few different options when it comes to interior heat. If you're an entertainer, maybe all you need is that extra space and a heat function that allows you to get extra dishes cooking while you start serving. Many of these are perfect for heating plates and cups, too: a must for certain food preparations or to help keep drinks warm before you even pour the coffee.

If you serve food for a large family, you're probably looking for warming drawers with extra space. Explore options large enough to fit frozen pizzas, multiple one-dish meals, and your wide cast iron pan. That way, by the time everyone's done with school, sports practice and music lessons, there will be a hot meal ready and waiting.

If you're more of a home chef, you might be looking for something that goes above and beyond. A multi-functional appliance. Explore picks from some of the high tier brands at Abt that incorporate convection into their creations. With the convection heat added to warming drawers, these become the perfect picks for preparing and even cooking foods, too.

Warming drawers don't have to stay in the home. Explore outdoor-rated options to create your dream outdoor kitchen. Whether you're cooking with a liquid propane grill or a pizza oven, your perfectly-crafted recipes can wait in here while you finish setting the table or cooking other dishes. Once everyone's out on the patio and sitting down at the table, it's time to serve.
