I have two warming drawers - a 24" that holds plates and coffee mugs, is always on, and it's the best thing ever. It's located at one end of the kitchen under the coffee bar.

Then I have a 30" in my island across from the double ovens. Here is a picture showing 2 9x13 Pyrex dishes. OODLES of room left over.

@BPMBA - Thank you for your help! It sounds like you have a drool worthy kitchen (based on your description and also the glimpse of your cabinetry).

A couple follow up questions, if you don’t mind?

Could you get three 9x13s into the 30” warming drawer?

How many 9x13s fit into your 24”?

What brand of warming drawers do you have, and do you like them?

Thank you!!

The Miele ESW6780 30" Warming Drawer is on sale at appliancesconnection for $939.

@BPMBA "I picked them specifically b/c of the 'Always On' setting."

The Dacor DWR30U900WP draws 500 watts (4 amps). That's equivalent to running 34 100-watt-equivalent or 57 60-watt-equivalent LED light bulbs. Why would you want to leave it on more than the four hours other models support?

Yep, we were worried about that, but there is no noticeable increase in the electric bill. The 24" always on so the plates and mugs are always warm. The 30" is only on when needed.

I have a 30" KitchenAid (KEWS105BPA). I bought this model because it's panel ready, doubles as a slow cooker, and I put it in a cabinet stack that includes a 30" speed oven / MW combo. Interior dimensions are 23.5" wide x 20" deep (front to back.) So two 9 x 13" pans should fit side by side with some wiggle room. Here are the exterior dimensions if that helps:

@BPMBA: "there is no noticeable increase in the electric bill"

• 500 watt-hours x 24 = 12,000 watt-hours/day
• 12,000 / 1,000 = 12 kilowatt hours/day
• 12 x 365 = 4,380 KWH/year
• 4,380 x 16.21 cents/KWH* = $710/year**
