My wife says every family has this drawer. I do not believe every family has this drawer. Do you have this drawer? Do you know a good solution to this drawer?

We have a silverware drawer, organized, maxed out. A sharps drawer, organized, maxed out. Ziplocs, organized, maxed out. Bbq tools and oven mitts, organized, maxed out. But all this shit has no particular category so fuck me right. I gotta have an awkward necessary crap drawer. Maybe I should post all my drawers and crowdsource me some sense into my kitchen.

Remove the scale, electronics don't belong in the misc food prep and niche baking implements drawer. Once you do that you'll easily recognize it as the food prep and niche baking implements drawer. The scale goes on a shelf, or in a cabinet next to the mixer/food proc/salad spinner.

Scale goes right next to the flour in a cabinet.

You're the worst kind of human. Flour should be haphazardly measured using volume and feelings and a "good enough" mentality.

yes. whether i asked my mom for one of her recipes she would readily tell me the ingredients... but whenever i asked how much of the thing to put she would get really confused. like, about 🤏 this much...

I explain the same thing in several different ways ad nauseum because experiential intuition can't be shared with spoken language yet i try anyways.
