We just had our first occasion to use the warming drawer when we had a large family gathering at our house. I took pies out of the oven and put them in the warmer and they came out beautifully when it was time to eat. With room for only one oven, this kitchen addition will be a big help for those occasions when you need to keep food warm for a crowd.
I love the KitchenAid warming drawer. I think as a fluke, ours quit working after 3 months and needs a new fuse. Other than that, I would recommend it.
We owned the previous 30" model for 14 years and really enjoyed the ability to serve a larger group of guests with all receiving a "hot" meal. This latest model moved the control electronics to the side instead of top. Our old model failed due to overheated control electronics. Looking forward to a 14+ year life for this unit and utilizing it as a slow cooker.
