What is a warming drawer?

A warming drawer, also known as a proving drawer, is a kitchen appliance designed to keep food warm at a controlled temperature. Bakers often use them to aid the proving process. They are typically installed beneath a 45cm height compact oven where both items fit in a standard 60-cm aperture.

With variable temperature control, warming drawers allow you to heat food to your desired temperature, making them a versatile addition to any kitchen.

How do warming drawers work?

Warming drawers use a heating element in the base to provide consistent low-temperature heating that keeps food warm, with special insulation to keep the heat in.

What are warming drawers used for?

Warming drawers have a wide range of uses, including:

Keeping cooked food warm until it’s ready to be served.
Warming tableware like dishes and plates, so cooked food is kept warmer for longer while you eat.
Can be used to proof dough.
Defrost food at a gentle temperature.
Gently reheat food.
Slowly heat food, like melting chocolate or making yoghurt.

Do warming drawers use a lot of electricity?

No. Generally, warming drawers don’t use much energy, as they operate at a much lower wattage compared to your oven. This is due to their smaller size and not reaching as high temperatures as a typical convection oven.

To conserve electricity when using a warming drawer, you can:

Keep the drawer closed when in use to prevent heat loss.
Turn it off when it is not needed.
And use lower heat settings where possible.

How hot do warming drawers get?

Warming drawers typically reach a temperature of around 80°C, although you can choose the temperature you want, anywhere from 30°C to 80°C.
