What do you do?

[Pinky]

We keep one Le Creuset set in the oven, plus a wok.

 

[Oldeagle66]

Just one baking sheet which I use every day.

 

[Jazzy1]

I store them in the cupboard next to the oven. I do, however, store sheet pans in the warming drawer at the bottom of the oven.

 

[Lewkat]

Just a few baking pans.

 

[Della]

That 3qt pot along with a 3qt covered earthware casserole dish and a pizza pan are about all I use these days.
Oh and a Griswold cast iron skillet now and then.

My foodie brother loves his iron skillet, but I find them too heavy to use, I think of them as men's cookware.

This is becoming such an interesting thread. Babs keeping her pans in another room, Pepper's 73 year old stove.

Pinkie's Le Creuset cookware, I'd never heard of. Now I want a set. Maybe Veronica's got one on her back porch!

When I start leaving the stove on, I plan to switch it off at the fuse box and just use the microwave.

 

[IrishEyes]

Nothing in my stove at all. I use the bottom drawer space for keeping things warm if I have
numerous dishes to bake. Or for when I am baking ahead of time.
Example: Roast in the oven, baking potatoes in the drawer along with a side dish of another veggie I want
to use a sauce of some kind on. Cuts down cooking time this way.

 

[QuietByNature]

I use the bottom drawer, the bigger pots & pans in a cupboard.
On occasion I will put a dirty pan in there to get it off the stove so the cats won't try to lick it. Then hope I don't forget about it

 

[Gardenlover]

That's where I hide the whiskey, my DW will never find it.

 

[WOLF ANGEL]

I keep Pots and Pans in the cupboard unit I have next to the Oven,.
I used to keep a tray in the bottom of the oven and see the merits of that but since I had to replace ye olde cooker with a self cleaning one It's lept empty

 

[Della]

That's where I hide the whiskey, my DW will never find it.

My parents were tea-totalers, but they kept my uncle's bottle of whiskey for his annual visits, under the sink, behind the Old Dutch Cleanser, Spic n' Span, Dreft and other cleaning products. I thought it was a cleaner! Would have made the house smell nice if I had mopped the floors with it.

 

[MACKTEXAS]

There are a lot of cabinets in my kitchen, so no need to store anything in the oven - but the glass door is eye-level, and when it's turned on, the light inside automatically comes on. It would be next to impossible to overlook anything that had been left in there by mistake.

 

[gruntlabor]

... Also a huge Teflon skillet that's unhealthy but I have to have it if I make pancakes.

(Sorry off topic.)
Della, a properly prepared and used cast-iron or ceramic or stainless skillet does not stick. Teflon is terrible stuff, they say it's in the blood of every living thing on earth.

 

[Jackie23]

No, the only thing in my oven is a wire rack, pots and pans go in cabinet drawers under the cook top.

 

[Ruthanne]

I usually don't keep anything stored in the oven. I did however forget about a broiler thingy in there once and turned on the oven and could smell the remnants off the broiler pan. I took it out then. I usually store all my pots and pans in 2 different cupboards. I have a lot of them because I accumulated them from relatives who passed away.
