fridge drawers-can u stack coke cans?

16 years ago

Am considering fridge drawers now. Is each drawer high enough to stack two cans of soda? Which brands? If cannot stack, can you estimate how many cans of soda can fit in a drawer? Thanks very much.

    I have Subzeros, and you can almost stack two cans. The plastic lid inside the drawer is a bitsloped, so some places are doable, but as it slopes, toward the front isn't.

    If we need to fit a lot in, we lay them on their sides and stack up to three that way.

    Okay, I just tried it. My Marvel are famous for having room for an opened standard sized bottle of wine to stand in the front portion of the bottom drawer. Not to mention, juice, milk, and whatever. There's more than enough room for two cans there, and for one can on the shorter part in the back. The upper drawer will take two stacked soda cans just barely. The trade off is that it can be loud when it cycles.

    The upper drawer also holds a whole tall paper grocery bag full of lemons. :)

    On the Perlick, we can put singles on the shelf across the back of the bottom drawer (2 deep and 6 rows) and stack two in front of that (at least 6 rows and 4 deep), so that's at least 60 cans in the bottom drawer. We ususally have a mix of cans and bottles. The top drawer would probably hold 72 or more but we use that for gallons of milk, iced tea, water pitcher, half gallon to gallon jugs of juice, yogurt and jam.

    all SZ drawers don't have the lids and they are removable. So if you want drink storage over lettuce then for sure you'd want to remove it.

    Yes, I hadn't thought of removing it. But we don't need any more room ... and I kinda like laying the cans on their sides, because you can see the label that way. Good advice, though.

    Thanks so much, Seg, Plllog, antss, lasca, thanks for your input-and caring. I would like to have an UC fridge for dh's cokes, and lots of other stuff. We have a small kitchen, 10 x 18, and it is so important to steer a tad of traffic away from the teeny kitchen area. Think NY kitchen, without the benefits of ny. Terrible traffic pattern.

    Who else on the planet would mess around with soda cans just to give a fellow gw case, some info. Of course, my gw pals, that's who!

    The drawers are great and they can help you solve some traffic problems while keeping easy access to what's inside. With a main fridge away from the cooking zone, they can hold your meats and produce most needed in that area while keeping other foot traffic out of the cooking zone. With our fridge closer to the cooking area, the fridge drawers in our breakfast room hold the things we need at the table, for meals and the cold drinks that keep hot afternoon snackers away from the main work areas instead of walking through it as they used to. My kitchen is about 13x14, so about the same square footage. We put the drawers outside of that space, but even if we had put them at the end of the kitchen itself, it woulod have helped traffic. Hope it works out for you.
