Ask Lemmy

We don't have one like that. Though most of our kitchen is well organized in drawers.

We have this drawer.

Yes. It's so common that it's been a well known joke in the UK for the last 16 years: The "Man" Drawer.

I have 2 of these drawers. 1 in the kitchen and 1 in the garage.

I’ve got four of those.

Edit: wait, that’s a useful disorganized kitchen drawer. I’ve got two. I should do something about my four junk drawers, and today’s the day, goddammit!

Sepparate utensils into three groups. Prep and baking tools should be near the largest counter space. Cooking tools should be near the stove. Single use tools should be near the curb.

This is all of the drawers in our kitchen.

A drawer full of emergency makeshift weapons? Yes. Also a junk drawer? Yes, more than one.

I’m lucky that my drawer like this is actually inside a cutting board cupboard. The inconvenience helps give it purpose: awkward unnecessary crap we rarely use

Most of my drawers are junk drawers. IDK how I find anything

A junk drawer? ... yes, most houses have one.

We do

Your house is this drawer. Think about it.

you have too much stuff. time to minimalize!

I have a knife drawer with 2/3 of these objects in it and a measuring tool drawer witj 1/3 of these items. My junk drawer contains literally nothing in this drawer.

Looks good

My mom has one of these, but we (my and my brother) don't live with her anymore. We (me and my gf) don't have one.

You might like a doom box: "didn't organise only moved". Put it in sight but make sure it's small enough that you can put it away when guests are over.

just take the pizza cutter out

Ah yes. The “nonsense drawer” as my youngest labeled it. It has stuck. In my parents family it was called the junk drawer.

Yeah, I've got that drawer

In my house it’s a whole room instead of just a drawer.

You can at least make some compartments so it's not all jumbled together

But yes, I do have a couple of those drawers

Where else would you sort the strange kitchen tools?

They don't belong anywhere in particular, so they are clumped together.

I don't have this drawer. The ambiguous items just get a place assigned to them with their less ambiguous brethren. And some of these more three dimensional things I keep in a cabinet, like the funnels. I usually keep my scale out on the counter at all times because it's part of my coffee setup in addition to just baking/cooking
