Wish it got hotter

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this to replace a 20 year old warming drawer (Dacor) that had stopped working. It was pretty much the only 27 inch model available. The construction of the drawer is less robust than the Dacor - thinner sheet metal, flimsier slides. It also required some customization to install; we had to install a plywood base under the unit to accommodate the flange on the bottom of the drawer front. (With the prior unit, the bottom of the drawer front was flush with the opening.) Our biggest complaint with function is that at the highest heat setting the drawer doesn't seem very hot. For example, at the highest setting plates can be handled without an oven mitt. Perhaps this is intentional to prevent burns? Still, maximum heat is much lower than our previous unit and limits effectiveness. I do like the drawer-front light that indicates unit is on; our previous unit lacked and sometimes resulted in the unit remaining on for extended periods.

We built a new home and I decided to get the kitchenaid warming drawer. It is fantastic. I used it at thanksgiving to keep my side dishes warm and I was able to serve the whole meal hot. I love it. It also slow cooks, but I have not tried that feature yet. I would recommend this everyone.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.

It is a great addition to my newly remodeled kitchen. It is great for keeping food warm, warming plates, proofing bread and slow cooking.

This proofed bread perfectly! And now my husband's schedule doesn't have to determine when I make dinner.

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 would recommend this to a friend!
