Default Pots and Pans Drawers Should Be In The Building Code

We should also make sure that we are comparing apples to apples: My drawers
are 2 bays wide. A 32" RO reduced to 30" of drawer space. Smaller single bay
drawers would be reduced by another 1" *each*. The wider drawers not only
allow for less loss, but gain the advantage of allowing the use of large
and/or odd shaped items because of the wide open real estate. We are definitely
overlapping the space that would be taken up at the "center" of 2 single wide
drawers. Yes, we lost the space behind the left and right face frame, but the
ability to easily use the full height plus the ease of organization more than
makes up for that loss.


Compared to this kitchen, that's huge!

And, I understood that; certainly having "all that room" would be a
major boon here.

These are single units...I don't recall exact width, but 24" opening
for certain...and, unfortunately, that's all the room there is room for,
one of those and the one on other side of range slightly smaller...well,
shoot, let's just go check--

They're even smaller than I thought 19-1/2 and 11-1/2 openings...

So, I'm guessing I'll not do anything altho I might just try a plain
flat bottom in there that does slide out just to see if the rear access
would help any...certainly as is now in the one there isn't anything in
the back of the larger one on the bottom shelf except a couple
less-often used pans; if there were a half-shelf that came forward it
would create a second level and that might make up for the loss in width
as there is a lot of air in there...
