A Versatile Warming Drawer for a Well-Organized Kitchen
The 24 in KitchenAid KOWT104ESS warming drawer combines warming, slow cooking and bread proofing in a compact built-in appliance. Its design helps free up counter space while providing a practical solution for preparing meals and keeping dishes at the desired temperature until serving time.
Equipped with Custom-Control™ technology, a sensor temperature control system and humidity control, it lets you adjust cooking or warming conditions to suit different foods, helping preserve their flavour and texture.
Three Functions for Maximum Versatility
Custom-Control™ technology makes it easy to select the appropriate heat settings for three distinct functions: warming, slow cooking and bread proofing. A control knob provides access to preset temperature ranges for each function, simplifying meal preparation.
Whether you want to keep a meal warm before serving, prepare a slow-cooked dish or proof homemade dough, this warming drawer provides additional preparation space without tying up your main oven.
Slow Cooking for Flavourful Dishes
The Slow Cook function allows the warming drawer to be used like a traditional slow cooker. By maintaining low, consistent heat, it can slowly cook meats and vegetables, prepare stews and help develop the flavours of your recipes.
This function provides a convenient solution for longer cooking times while keeping your counter space available for other preparation tasks.
Precise Sensor Temperature Control
The sensor temperature control system continuously monitors the heat inside the drawer and makes the necessary adjustments to maintain a consistent temperature.
This technology helps prevent food from overheating or drying out during warming, slow cooking and bread proofing for more consistent results.
A Dedicated Bread Proofing Function
The Bread Proof function maintains a low, consistent temperature to encourage yeast activation and dough rising. It lets you prepare homemade breads and rolls under suitable conditions without using your main oven.
For best results, the manufacturer recommends setting the humidity control to the moist position when proofing dough.
Humidity Control to Help Preserve Food Texture
The humidity control system offers two settings to adjust conditions inside the drawer according to the type of food being prepared.
The moist setting helps retain moisture in foods such as roasts, vegetables and egg-based dishes. The dry setting allows steam to escape to help preserve the texture of fried foods and baked goods.
Adjustable Racks for Flexible Storage
The warming drawer includes two flexible-position racks that can be arranged from front to back or side to side, depending on the size and shape of your cookware.
This configuration helps optimize the interior space and makes it easier to arrange dishes for warming or meal preparation.
Compact Design and Convenient Operation
With its nominal 24 in width, the KitchenAid warming drawer fits into a standard kitchen cabinet and provides a practical solution for spaces where every inch counts.
Its stainless steel front and metal handle give it a professional-inspired appearance. A front indicator light makes it easy to see when the warming drawer is operating.
