A microwave is a staple in most busy households, allowing family members to heat or reheat everything from full meals to convenience store burritos. However, a leftover piece of meat cooked in the best microwave can’t compare to a fresh, hot-out-of-the-oven roast. Preparing a separate meal for every family member when they get home is impractical, so most families sacrifice taste to save time. Warming drawers for the kitchen, however, provide an alternative that allows you to keep food warm until it’s serving time.

Warming drawers are common in restaurants, but they are becoming much more popular in residential kitchens as home chefs realize the benefits of this handy appliance. You may have seen some high-quality ranges or wall ovens with a warming drawer or warming cavity integrated into the unit. Most people opt for a separate built-in warming drawer, which offers the widest range of controls for keeping your meals warm.

Warming drawer uses include keeping main entrees or desserts warm while serving a meal’s first course. This lets home chefs spend more time with their guests and less time making sure food is still warm when serving time arrives. With staggered meal times an everyday occurrence in most homes, kitchen warming drawers maintain a food’s temperature right out of the oven (or off the stove). Depending on the manufacturer and model, warming drawers may have precise temperature controls and extra racks or compartments for separate foods. An interior operating light and automatic shut-off are standard on most warming drawer models. The Insight Series Sharp warming drawer KB-6100NS features a hidden control panel, variable humidity and temperature control and a large capacity interior with a half-rack. The drawer is fully-extendable, with a half-rack for specialized storage.

Purchasing a warming drawer separately gives you greater flexibility when configuring your kitchen. Energy-efficient drawers are 27 or 30-inches wide, the same standard sizes as an average wall oven. You can place the warming drawer underneath wall ovens, cooktops or other appliances, or anywhere a sliding cabinet would fit. The Dacor Epicure Series EWD30SCH kitchen warming drawer is one of the most advanced on the market, with electronic controls that are concealed behind the drawer face. It has four temperature levels and a moist to crisp slide setting, letting you keep bacon crisp and buttered rolls moist.

Warming drawers are available in stainless steel and a variety of colors to match your kitchen décor. You can choose a warming drawer with a wood panel overlay to integrate it with the rest of your cabinets. A warming drawer has many advantages over a simple microwave, especially if you have a large family or entertain often.

If you’ve ever gone hunting for discount appliances, you know that there are multiple places to shop ranging from online retailers to local scratch & dent appliance warehouses. Huge savings are available through appliance outlet centers, and nothing feels better than finding the exact appliance you are looking for at a major discount. Discount appliances are marked down by sellers for various reasons. Usually the seller labels a unit with a specific condition that explains exactly why it was marked down. It is important for the buyer to know what these labels mean so that you understand exactly what you are purchasing. Remember, the most informed consumers are the one’s who find the best deals!

Discontinued Appliances, just like brand new appliances, are still in factory sealed boxes (unless otherwise stated). The manufacturer, however, no longer produces the model number. It may have been replaced in a series by a new design or an updated style with new, improved features. The manufacturer wants to focus on the new product, and the previous years models are marked for quick sale. Discontinued kitchen appliances may still carry a full manufacturer’s warranty.

New Open Box Appliances are brand-new, unused appliances. The only difference is that the box has been opened. The packaging may have been opened accidentally by the seller, or may have been shipped that way from the manufacturer. All the packaging is in place, and the box is usually resealed with tape or staples. Since the box has been opened, the dealer can’t sell the item as brand new and must mark down the price accordingly. Factory warranties are usually still valid for New Open Box appliances.

New Out of Box Appliance are brand-new units with some packing materials removed from the box. This occurs for a number of reasons. For example, a customer may receive the wrong model number during shipping and discover it before removing all packaging from the appliance. Dealers will mark down these types of products because they cannot be sold as brand new. Shopping for New Out of Box units is a great way to save on brand new appliances.

Scratch & Dent Appliances are usually brand new and may still have hangtags or factory film protecting the finish. It has never been used, but close inspection may reveal minor scratches or dents. These imperfections may have been caused by shipping mishaps, or perhaps a bump in the warehouse. The scratches and dents do not affect the product operation or impact the overall look of the appliance in any way. In fact, the minor imperfections might be on the back of a unit and will never be seen once it is installed. Be sure to carefully read any damage details that are listed along with a scratch and dent kitchen appliance.

Factory Refurbished Appliances have either been returned to the manufacturer for repairs, or an issue was discovered at the factory and repaired before it was ever shipped to a dealer. A certified technician has replaced any improperly working parts and checked the appliance before returning it to stock.

With Seller Refurbished Appliances, a dealer technician has repaired the appliance or replaced malfunctioning parts, such as a motor or fan. The appliance is tested to make sure it operates properly before being returned to the sales floor. The details of the repairs are typically detailed in the product notes, so be sure to read up on what you are buying.

Showroom Model Appliances have been used in the showroom to demonstrate appearance, size and features. The appliance exterior may show signs of use from being installed and moved around in the showroom. It has never been used in a home and is in perfect working condition. There’s no need to worry about wear and tear on functional parts since the item was only on the showroom floor and not in a residential kitchen.

Used Appliances have been used in a home and will show signs of wear and tear, like slight cooking stains on stovetops or discolored oven interiors. They are most likely the least expensive option, but it may be hard to find exactly what you are looking for in a used unit. Reputable retail stores and online merchants examine used appliances for functionality before selling them. The appliance will also undergo a thorough cleaning before being offered for sale. If possible, do your shopping for used appliances through a certified outlet store that offers extended warranties.
