“”Only some ranges have a warming drawer under the oven, most ARE storage drawers.””
You are right. I forgot I’d had a conversation in the past year with someone who told me stoves don’t have drawers in the bottom...I guess it’s the difference between gas and electric, right? My broiling (gas) gets done in the oven while others gets done in a broiler beneath the oven. BUT then, I have had broiling by gas in the bottom. Well, shucks - how did this get so complicated?
Electrics have always had storage drawers, recently some of them have been equipped with warming drawers.
Older and low end gas ranges only have one burner in the bottom of the oven so the drawer serves as the broiler as well. Most of the newer gas ranges have a second burner inside the top of the oven for broiling and a storage drawer underneath. Warming drawers are usually only found on higher end ranges.
