The kitchen is coming along nicely, thanks

Except...While the electricians and gas line guy were here last week my
husband mentioned that we were disposing of the old range. He asked if
any of them needed a working gas range? Yeah, apparently one would take
it off our hands.
My fancy new range is now in and I went looking for my broiling pans and
other assorted baking sheets and pans that I stored in the bottom oven
drawer....I'm dying to get up and cooking again.

Uh oh....

Damn. Hubby forgot to empty the drawer out in the old range before they
took it!! ALL my good baking sheets, 2 steamer baskets and jelly roll
pans gone!
I would have though thunk that the guy taking the stove home might have
realized we didn't mean for ALL of it to go?? <sigh>

Maybe he didn't look in the drawer, either. Can't you call the guy and
explain the situation?

He probably didn't even look... when our landlord gave us a new stove
(actually his old one but it was still nicer than the one that came
with the apartment), they tossed out our broiler pan and a couple of
cooling racks because I was storing them in the oven drawer... I
forgot they were in there until it was too late! Annoying too, because
the new oven didn't come with a broiler pan so now I don't have one.

Same problem here! Since when did ovens not come with broiler pans?? I
thought that was standard practice?

Second-hand stores have lots of broiler pans with racks. Check it out.

You can't contact the person that took the stove and explain that you
left your pans in there by mistake, and that you need them?

That's what I would do...

It shouldn't. You were the ones that left them in there...no fault of
the workman.

Hey, what do you have to lose on seeing if the workman can return
them? It's an honest mistake....you left them in there. I sure
wouldn't go out to buy new stuff.... I would get them back. It's
your stuff, after all!!!!

Not sure if accepting cast off appliances as a "tip" is encouraged? All
I know is we were happy not to have to pay someone to haul it off and
dispose of it. I have so much in my garage and driveway needing
disposal. What a PITA.

Anyone need a decent refrigerator? LOL

What do you have to lose by calling to see if you can get them back?

I guess it just seems a bit silly to me, to not even check to see if
you can get them back.

When I put all my stuff in storage years ago, I gave my old computer
to one of the movers. He was interested in it. I wiped it first, and
then just gave it to him. Didn't seem to be a problem with me giving
it to him.

I know what you're saying, Goomba. I've been in situations like

I hear ya, I can't just put stuff like that at the curb. I have to deal
with it, and hiring people to haul it is not cheap. I always mention
if (whatever) is still working, maybe someone would like it. Last
year the tv delivery guy was thrilled to get a big tv that still works,
and I was happy it got a new home.

Don't get me wrong, the appliance store took the old stuff
anyway, but I have on occasion been left with things.

One thing I did a couple of times was rent a truck, one of those
$19.95 a day deals that's really about $50 and get rid of a bunch
of stuff at the recycle center/wherever they take stuff in your
town. Maybe you could do that, clean out your garage.

Get in touch with Habitat for Humanity. They take usable appliances
and around here they will pick up. Charitable contribution.

You didn't have a dumpster for your remodel? I had to have one,
the kitchen was torn down to the studs. How else to get rid of all
that crappy paneling?? Heh.

And I called my neighbors and said they could put some stuff in
there if they wanted. Get together with the neighbors and rent
one, everyone has crap to get rid of.

I bet they didn't bother looking in the drawer before recycling the
unit. She could call and ask if they have the contents... but what
was in the drawer is most likely history by now.

It was a working stove. The person who took it knew it worked. I doubt
they "recycled" it. Sold it, possibly...

Until I decided I wanted to bake something in my new kitchen,
I had no idea I'd left my baking sheets in the old oven. They
wound up wherever it is old appliances go when they die.

I lost something worse, a doorknocker that I paid a lot for, and
went out of my way to purchase. How could I forget to take it
off the old door when I had it replaced? (sigh)

You too?! LOL.. I'm glad it wasn't just us. Moving everything out of the
kitchen is a huge, HUGE undertaking, isn't it?
And until reading your last sentence, I was wondering why you'd store a
door knocker in the oven drawer....? LOL
I bought another folding metal steam basket today while at the Px. $5.
I doubt the baking sheets will be that reasonably priced?

I looked for those suckers for a while, too ... there was so
much stuff I didn't notice they were missing. Then I remembered
where I stored them.

(laughing) Sorry. I do that.

I found a couple at Tuesday Morning once for a good price. Just think,
you won't be redoing your kitchen again, what are the odds you'll lose
the next ones ... you'll have them a long time.

He probably never looked. OTOH, take some comfort that the guy's wife
thinks you are the greatest person in the world giving her all those pans.

Hey.. there is some comfort in that idea. I just hope he did bring them
home and not trash them? They were all great pans. The round ones were
this neat "texture" design that was supposed to help keep things from
sticking. I need to find some more of them. The jelly roll pans were
from restaurant supply house shopping, so I imagine I'll be able to find
them again easily. I've never purchased a broiler pan before
(specifically) as they always came with the ovens.

That seems to be the consensus. Goomba seems to think whoever accepted the

I can't imagine why they would get into the soup (OB Food). I could
imagine there would be trouble if the recipient refused to return the
items after a polite request and explanation if the refusal were
reported to the recipient's employer, though.

I've scored so many excellent baking sheets and pans this way.

People buy these things and stash them under the stove, only to be
forgotten about. The cleaners never look down there.

Somebody left a 1/4lb+ of marijuana in the apartment I moved into at
1999 Fountainview Court, Columbus OH (Reynoldsburgh) in 1996 - Along
with 2 Airbake half-sheet pans in that same drawer.

The marijuana was just so-so (considering I just moved from Northern
California) but I still have the Airbake sheet pans <cough>.

LOL, one of the neatest features on my new cabinets are the "toe kick"
drawers which if you didn't know existed, you'd .....never know it was
there! We're calling it my "dope drawer" LOL
I've loaded it with infrequently used items such as skewers, rolling
pin, etc.

I like that drawer idea a lot!!

I also like the idea of built-in baseboard vacuums (I'm sure there's a
proper name for them). You just sweep crumbs up to the baseboard, kick a
switch and they're gone. Probably more trouble cleaning them out than
they're worth, though.

The baseboards vacuums are part of a whole house vacuum system. The
crumbs and dirt go to the central collection point in the basement or
garage. Change the bag.

I've heard of and seen whole house vacuums but have never heard of

Nope I've seen them in some of the mega-bucks kitchens shown on HGTV.
Apparently part of a central vac system.

Hey, I love 'em! "Dope drawer" is a good name.

I'd love to have a couple put in to hold cookie sheets. I wonder
if they can be easily retrofitted.

I saw them in a decorator book many years ago. One of the had a small
folding step stool in it.

My kitchen has a narrow cabinet on each side of the stove. The
previous owners had put roll out trays in them. I removed the trays
and hardware and put racks for vertical storage in them. They contain
cookie sheets, cutting boards and any other item that fits. BTW, the
stove and cabinets are in an island.

I'd say a QP is not a bad housewarming gift, so-so or not. You really
can't expectthat much from the midwest.
