KitchenAid - 30" Warming Drawer - Custom Panel Ready

Redid my whole kitchen in KitchenAid and my wife really wanted a warming drawer. Glad I let her talk me in to it. Doubles as a slow cooker, and great to stick take-out in until everyone gets home instead of getting cold. I overlooked it in the remodel but glad she didn't!

Remodeling the kitchen was a long overdue process and we definitely wanted to make some high end upgrades. Bigger cooktop, check. Warming drawer, check. This unit looks great with the other KitchenAid family appliances and does the job. I like that it has rails that will support commercial chafing style dishes. It's been handier than you might think being able to keep food appropriately warm. We haven't yet used the slow cooker feature but it's summer now. As fall rolls back around, all day cooking of stews, roasts and chilis are going to be awesome.

I was on the fence about getting a warming drawer since we were already spending a pretty penny on our kitchen remodel and new appliances. My husband insisted and I'm so glad he did. The warming drawer is great for our busy family! We use it often for our kids meals when they have late work or practice. We also use it to keep rolls, kolaches, casseroles, etc. warm for holidays and entertaining. It's a great addition to our kitchen and we love how it matches our other KitchenAid appliances.

With our four kids and their spouses, plus ten grandkids, my Wife wanted to be able to warm buns, etc., while the kids are in the pool and the guys are watching the game in the pool table room, playing pool and enjoying a beer! This warming drawer and the other additions to our Stainless Steel Kitchen upgrade was a big hit for weekend parties and get-togethers with friends and family.

When my wife said that she wanted a warming drawer, when we remodeled our kitchen, I thought it seemed like a frivolous expense. Well, we have had a KitchenAid Warming Drawer for 15 years. We (my wife) cook the majority of our meals at home and we used the heck out of this thing. It is so useful when making a big breakfast like pancakes and eggs and bacon or sausage for your family. It allows you to keep the food warm while you're preparing it and for seconds. Fantastic when you're having people over for dinner. That warming drawer finally started having issues and we decided to get a new one. The warming drawer itself looked brand-new but, we decided to get a new one, in order to get the updated electronics, rather than investing in additional repairs. This warming drawer has turned out to be even nicer than the last. I would highly recommend a warming drawer and this one in particular. And, of course, the appliance salesperson at Best Buy with extremely helpful and we found that we got a very good deal also.
