Disappointed in the quality of the materials - is not sturdy and door shuts odd sometimes and brackets do not stay in for pans. Would have expected more quality from kitchen aid
I had this piece a month now and have not had a chance to use but very excited to use this fall season for beef stew and the holiday gatherings to be had
Built a new home and have a huge kitchen. Its nice to have the warming drawer to keep things warm when having parties or just keeping dinner warm for my husband. Its also got a cook mode to it so I can use it for that.
I LOVE this appliance. I bake bread, and the proof setting is fantastic. Using it as a slow cooker is great--dinner can be ready at the end of the day without heating up your kitchen in the summer--and since you use your own pots, you can braise the meat first on top of the stove, then put in drawer. Chips stay crisp, and keeping a plate of food warm for late arrivals (a regular occurrence at our house) are other handy uses.
I host a family pot luck every month for between 15-20 people. I never had enough space to keep food warm. The warming drawer has been great. Fits 3 to 4 casserole dishes. In addition, I have also used to to keep rolls warm (and moist)! and as a slow cooker. I am extremely happy with this appliance and it looks great in my kitchen island.
I have only had the use of the drawer since late March but it has been a great addition to my kitchen. I keep my dinner plates in the drawer until it is time to eat. Everyone has a warm plate to help keep their food warm (we talk through dinner). I also put my dinner rolls in there during my dinner prep and by dinner time they are perfectly warm. If you have the place to install one of these units, believe me, you will not be disappointed in doing so.
