I use that to store a Roaster Rack, 1 Saute Pan and a large flat Grill inside the oven. When I need the oven, I just remove the items and return them back when I finish using it and the oven has cool down.

In fact, I have a broken large microwave to store my sugar, flour and other little thingys.

I always thought it was there to strip off toenails or break toes in order to get time off work.

Only some ranges have a warming drawer under the oven, most ARE storage drawers. I was a GE Factory Service tech for 31 years, so I would know. If there is no control feature or heating element, it is a storage drawer.

REAL INFO!

Oh no! I kind of liked that little broiler. I had the opposite issue. Every oven after that, I thought was for broiling and wasn’t comfortable using it for storage. It took me many years to finally feel confident about using the drawer for storage.

Most of the newer gas ranges have a second burner at the top of the oven for broiling inside the oven.

Why that's just...so spot on. I will never eat tapioca again!

True confession time:

Until very recently I never used the oven portion of the electric range - only the stovetop. But you can’t easily cook a frozen pizza on the stovetop. So I gave it a try.

I’m still a bit confused about how to use it because I don’t have an instruction manual. Yes, I was able to start it by pressing an oven temp button, and increased the set temp. using the up-arrow button, and successfully cooked the pizza.

But I haven’t figured out how to set it to broil (come to think of it, I haven’t actually checked to see if there’s a top heating element). More importantly, I’m not sure of the right way to turn the thing off.

There is an ‘oven stop’ button, but when I press that the only thing that seems to happen is some things blink on the display. So I press the ‘clear’ button, which seems to shut the thing off. But I can’t help thinking that I’m missing something that I ought to be doing to turn it off.

As far as the drawer at the bottom is concerned, I’m reasonably sure that it’s just a drawer.

On our brand-new gas range, we use the "clear" button to turn off the oven. That really is how you turn it off.
