Why do warming drawers on ranges (where the storage drawer below can be used to keep food or plates hot) seem rarer now? I remember it used to be in the mid 2000s a lot of ranges had them, even some more basic Kenmores often had a “warm and ready drawer.”
Frigidaire even had a Gallery edition range where the warming drawer that had a glass window and could even be used as a secondary oven. The temperature could be set from a dial separate from the main oven controls.
I’ve looked and I see few to no ranges with either feature anymore. The closest thing I guess you can get these days are the ones with a separate smaller oven with hinged door, located on top of the regular larger oven, which is located at the bottom with no storage drawer. Those ranges seem to be mainly by GE these days, but the first ones I remember were called Maytag Gemini.
And for that matter 40” ranges no longer seem to exist either.
