In my house it’s a whole room instead of just a drawer.

Bench / pastry scraper next to the end grain cutting board on counter (that's how I clean it most often). Microplane and pizza cutter (Italian chef knife) get hung. Funnel covers a teacup protecting it's rare use from excess dust / atomized oils in the kitchen. Garlic press is a waste of money when you have knife skills. -Citrus juicer likewise (cut 1/3 slabs around the core using the geometry to make squeezing efficient).

You can at least make some compartments so it's not all jumbled together

But yes, I do have a couple of those drawers

Sepparate utensils into three groups. Prep and baking tools should be near the largest counter space. Cooking tools should be near the stove. Single use tools should be near the curb.

Where else would you sort the strange kitchen tools?

They don't belong anywhere in particular, so they are clumped together.

Yeah, I've got that drawer

I have 2 of these drawers. 1 in the kitchen and 1 in the garage.

Most of my drawers are junk drawers. IDK how I find anything

We have this drawer.

We don't have one like that. Though most of our kitchen is well organized in drawers.

I’m lucky that my drawer like this is actually inside a cutting board cupboard. The inconvenience helps give it purpose: awkward unnecessary crap we rarely use

Ah yes. The “nonsense drawer” as my youngest labeled it. It has stuck. In my parents family it was called the junk drawer.

Yes, all homes have this drawer. Only way to get rid of it is to move. Just leave it all behind.

Your house is this drawer. Think about it.

My mom has one of these, but we (my and my brother) don't live with her anymore. We (me and my gf) don't have one.

You might like a doom box: "didn't organise only moved". Put it in sight but make sure it's small enough that you can put it away when guests are over.

I have a large silverware drawer with a silverware tray. The area around the silverware tray is that drawer though

A junk drawer? ... yes, most houses have one.

We do
