Ask Lemmy

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

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

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

But yes, I do have a couple of those drawers

Yes, all homes have this drawer. Only way to get rid of it is to move. Just leave it all behind.

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.

Yeah it's a thing. I've made wood box type things to separate the drawer out and try to keep it slightly organised.

just take the pizza cutter out

We do

Your house is this drawer. Think about it.

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.

We have this drawer.

Where else would you sort the strange kitchen tools?

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

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.

This is all of the drawers in our kitchen.

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!

Looks good

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

you have too much stuff. time to minimalize!

I'd just point out that most of that drawer could be replaced with a good knife. I mean is cutting garlic really so onerous you need a fancy doodad? Even the zesters functionality could be done with a knife. I hate to be judgey bastard, but that drawer smacks of consumerism and excess. With the exception of the mixer prongs and the scale I'm not seeing anything needed in a residential kitchen.

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

We have like 3 junk drawers. The get filled with so much shit that we don't know what to do with that we just find another drawer

I by myself only have a single drawer(don't need/have more) but for my parents this is devinetively true. They have one for metal pieces, one for plastic pieces and one for cutlery. The fourth drawer is for all the stuff that isn't really needed that often or simply to big to be put into one of the other drawers.
