Every time I use this damned thing, I remember how dangerous my ignorance was. Critical kitchen information kiddies...

Kitchen ranges commonly come in two flavours: electric or gas. Both usually have a drawer at the bottom.

What you may not know, if you grew up with the other kind of range, is that the purpose of this drawer differs between types. In an electric range, the bottom drawer is used to store pots and pans. However, in a gas range, this drawer is for fucking setting shit on fire. Gas ranges don't have an upper burner/element. The broiler is underneath. You and the fire department are welcome.
