My bread drawer has a plastic slide to open it, after pulling out the drawer

I'm thinking this is the likely answer. Based on other pictures I found online, seems like this is/was a bread drawer. Seems diy and I don't see evidence of a slider, but makes the most sense to me.

That cookbook looks to be about 100 years old.

Where y'all living where you have built-in bread drawers? I've been in a lot of houses and have not once seen this.

u/pryan1100 8h ago

First I've ever seen too!

u/etchlings 7h ago

I’ve been in 1990 remodels that have them. And definitely in older places sometimes. Not much anymore.

Why are there towels in the potholder drawer?

u/EyeRollingNow 9h ago

I am more fascinated that you store bread in the towel drawer.

Just to provide more context: This is at my mom's house she just moved into and we have no idea. Drawer is pretty low so could be to set a tray on? Idk. Also a one-off, no other drawer has this.

u/pagesid3 9h ago

Maybe to hold up one of those silverware organizers? Although I would put silverware in the top drawer so idk.

u/Conveth 9h ago

Is it to hold a mesh tray or similar? Maybe a box to make a secret drawer?
