Looks good

In my house it’s a whole room instead of just a drawer.

Yeah, I've got that drawer

Where else would you sort the strange kitchen tools?

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

First thing I'd do is recycle that stupid plastic whatsit and the egg slicer that got used once.

Yes we all have it.

Every household has a junk drawer. Be thankful you don't have more than one.

This drawer is the solution. To everything...

You've lost this one, and if this was a hill you were prepared to die on I would get ready to lose a lot more.

Yes. Minus the scale, absolutely. It’s the tools that too big for the utensil drawer but too small to take up shelf space in a cabinet.

It's the miscellaneous utensil drawer. We have 2. Up top for common ones like can opener, corkscrew... big one on floor for the lesser used ones like rolling pin, flour sifter, hand mixer....

If you are arguing over this, don't. Not worth it because there's no better answer unless you have a millionaire mansion with a gazillion drawers

I wish my drawer was that empty.

Yes, everyone has this

The 3rd drawer down from the top

Every family afaik has at least one of these drawers. Just accept it and live your life.

The "junk drawer" is supposed to have old receipts, loose batteries, the toy(s) you took from your kid when they threw it at your head, some vaguely kitchen-esque looking tool you got as a wedding gift but don't know what it is....crap like that.

That's just a normal large/specialty utensil drawer.

Yes absolutely

But not the scale tho

Hate to say it, but just about everyone I know has a junk drawer, myself included. Same as you with the other drawers, organized to the max, but the junk drawer will always be the junk drawer.

As others have said, this isn't even a junk drawer, this is the miscellaneous kitchen tools drawer. My homes have always had one of them plus an actual kunk drawer full of keys, batteries, loose pens and caps, tape, rubber bands, stamps, and lighters. This thing is organized and coherent and i jave no clue what your complaint is.

Junk drawer. Yes, everyone has one.

We have a junk room. LOL.

Wife's right. This is an example of the pareto principle. 80% of your shit fits in 20% of the categories needed to properly organize your shit. 80% of the needed categories account for only 20% of your shit. 20% of your shit (and 80% of the needed categories) are in that drawer.

Of course I have that drawer. Why do you need a solution? What's the problem?

If you don’t have this drawer you simply don’t have drawers.

To an extent, we always had a junk drawer. Over the years it got smaller and more organized. Utinsels have an actual drawer for them all. So no pizza cutter in our junk drawer anymore. Almost everything in your picture has a spot for us.

Here's our junk drawer now.

We have 2 drawers like that. What's the problem with it if you don't have a better place to put that shit?

Looks like a junk drawer or a multi purpose drawer in any kitchen. There is often one near the sink. In some larger cabinet sets, the small drawer like that is on the end. But it varies where everyone has it. Maybe all the decent sized kitchens do.

Yeah, everyone has such a drawer. But what is that green thing at the top? Something for baking?

I can understand just about everything in this drawer because I have a drawer that looks like that ...

What I don't understand is that lettuce knuckle duster thing .... were you planning on going to war with the vegetables?

This isn't a true junk drawer in my mind because it looks to be all cooking implements. I have a junk drawer, but it contains like rubber bands, rando pencils, gum, etc.

Everyone has that drawer. You can tidy it with spacers to make it look a bit less hectic but it will still be that drawer full of random specialty shit.
