In my custom cabinet layout in the kitchen we have got a little drawer
as part of the package. This drawer, set next to the sink and below
the counter, stretches all the way to the floor yet is no wider than 8
inches on its face. There are three equally spaced partitions in it,
so you could lay long objects in it on three levels. We thought that
maybe it was for wine glasses, but that can't be. The folks who
installed it had no idea either. "It's for whatever you want. Some
people use it for cling wrap." And so have we, for lack of a better
idea.

Who knows what this is?

Can you post a .jpg somewhere? Not quite understanding your description. Is
this really a drawer with an open top (when pulled out, of course) and 3
deep bins, or some sort of side-entry slide out storage rack? The location
and size sound like a cookie sheet/serving tray drawer. Kitchen designers
use strange stuff like this as fill, to avoid the wide filler panels that
would creep in here and there when trying to do custom kitchens with mostly
stock sizes. In older kitchens, there is usually one skinny cabinet that
ends up used for Big Flat Things, but inevitably, you end up pulling them
all out to find the one you want. A pull-out rack with multiple slots makes
the things easier to find.

Definitely not for cookie sheets or trays. I'll post a picture and
show you tomorrow.

Sounds like one usually used for spices.

We have a pair of them on each side of our sink cabinet. Useful for
storing your various cleaning supplies there instead of under the sink.

Is it a base pantry pullout?

If so it's for pantry type stuff: canned foods, boxes of crackers, etc. We
have several of those for cereal, cookies, crackers and other boxed stuffs.

I think we have a winner! In my previous post about cookie sheets, I was
thinking of a similar item that has a solid panel down the center, and you
put the big flat things on either side of that, catching them behind the
rails.

cleaning products?

You seem to have been having a problem with your flash, but I can see enough to
say that this is a drawer intended for spices and other small items needed to
cooking.

I don't have that (didn't fit in with the tight kitchen space I have), and if I
could have, I would have included it. I have a lower cabinet shelf ner the
stove devoted to spices, and I need to shuffle them around to get what I want.
I could get one of those rotary spice racks for the countertop, but so far I
dont' want to devote counter space to one.

With your rack, you can quickly see and choose what you want.

It is for whatever you want to put in it that fits. We have one that
we use for spices and other cooking items.

Also, refer to Cathy Kearns's post - it's a base pantry pullout.

Its for anything you want. I'm in the process or redoing my kitchen
and all my cabinet catalogs say its a "Base Filler Pullout". There
are also "Wall Filler Pullouts". The pictures show bags of coffee,
sugar, flour, etc in it.

So basically, there was a narrow space to fill, so they shoved a
narrow drawer in it to fill the space.

Okay thanks everyone.
