Warming Drawer

A Warming Drawer keeps plates, cups, and cooked food at a steady serving temperature so your meal reaches the table hot and ready. You choose one to coordinate courses, rest roasts, prove dough, or hold sides while the main dish finishes in the oven. Under-oven or tower placement keeps it within reach, and simple controls make it easy to set gentle heat for ceramics or low, even warmth for food. In busy homes and open-plan kitchens, a drawer helps you time dinner without rushing, supports batch cooking on weekends, and frees oven space for baking or grilling. It’s also useful for entertaining, letting you pre-warm plates and stage dishes without heat lamps or extra appliances. Add a warming drawer if you want smoother service, tidier worktops, and consistent results across the whole meal.

Why add a warming drawer

• Pre-warm plates and mugs for better heat retention at the table.
• Hold food at serving temperature during multi-course meals.
• Gently prove dough or soften butter and chocolate for baking.
• Rest joints and tray-bakes without overcooking.

Design options, finishes, and features

• Heights to suit your cabinet plan (shallow models for plate warming; deeper for cookware and dishes).
• Push-pull or handle designs; anti-slip bases to keep stacks stable.
• Simple temperature dials and timers for set-and-forget warming.
• Prefer a darker fascia? Browse our black Warming Drawer options.
• See coordinated lines from Caple to match ovens, hobs, and microwaves.

Common use cases

• Family dinners: keep sides hot while the main finishes.

Planning tips

• Measure the niche and plan ventilation; stack under a single or compact oven for a neat column.
• Use suitable cookware and avoid covering vents inside the drawer.
• Pair with matching ovens and a hood for a consistent look across the bank of appliances.
