Warming Drawers & Vacuum Drawers

What is a warming drawer?

You may wonder why we suggest you need another appliance in the kitchen, but a warming drawer can help save space while streamlining your meal preparation and serving.  They are ideal partners for kitchen appliances like built-in coffee machines and steam, pyrolytic or any other kind of built-in wall ovens. They are best placed sitting under your oven or coffee machine.

How do I use a warming drawer?

- Keep food warm and covered

- Heat up cups and mugs for after-dinner tea and coffee

- Pre-heat plates before serving dishes which is ideal for dinner parties, especially serving hot food in the winter months in cold climates

- Prove dough so you can bake fresh bread

- Defrost meat safely

There are quite a few advantages to having a warming drawer in your kitchen:-

1.  They don’t take up much space. 

Space is at a premium for most people in the kitchen. Warming drawers usually come in sizes around 50cm x 50cm and only 15cm high, which means it’s not an overly big appliance to add into any kitchen. They fit flush into your existing kitchen cabinetry creating a seamless finish.

2.  They can be colour-matched with your appliances.

Our warming drawers come in black, white or stainless steel, matching most kitchen colour schemes.

3. Temperature control

You can adjust the temperature settings of a warming drawer depending on what you’re using it for. For example, you might want to keep food at a higher temperature than plates. The temperature range of a warming drawer is usually low, around 30 to 85°C.

4.  They can be matched to your other appliances' brand family

Some appliance brands, such as Bosch and V-Zug, develop warming drawers to compliment their own ovens so you can be sure when buying a warming drawer that it will look great next or near your other cooking appliances.

5. Ease of use

Warming drawers aren't just for the gourmet chef in their kitchen.  These simple concept appliances are straightforward to use with many models being operated by push buttons or touch controls.  There is no complicated programming.

6.  Convenience  

The functions will help ease your workload, save on worktop space and help you move from one course to another with ease, as well as keeping food hot for a loved one who is coming home late from work.
