Cookie sheets, pretty much. Whatever is flat that might go in the oven.

I use mine to store the lids to my pots and pans. How about you?
What is the drawer underneath your oven and how do you use it?
We've always called ours "the warmer drawer". (When we want to raise dough, we put it into the "hot water cupboard". )We watched the Great British Baking Show -- that's when we learned that it was a "proving" drawer for letting your dough rise in a warm environment.
Fair warning... I think I've inherited Marsha's twitchy delete finger.I was gonna call some names, but I think we all know who the usual offenders will be
We have a Jenn-Air so our drawer isn't a drawer. It houses the grease trap and the exhaust assembly. There is a hole in the back where the exhaust hose goes, which is much the same as a dryer hose (only greasy). We do store broiler pans and baking sheets on the right side.
But, once, it held something more... One late fall day a few years ago, a young possum figured out how to crawl up inside. It managed to disconnect the hose and there it was in the compartment. I heard it making noise, knocking around the pans down there so I opened it -- it opens with a hinged bottom -- and there he is, hissing at me. I called the hubby and we spent 20 minutes getting it into a pet carrier. He took it out to the river and let it go. The hose was reattached more firmly.
Oh dear...!I know someone that had their clothes dryer exhaust plugged up by a possum.
Same here, as well as my huge pyrex dish.Baking and cake pans.
I had a possum in my yard last night, he was eating the bread crusts that me daughter still removes from her sandwich.....at 15.I know someone that had their clothes dryer exhaust plugged up by a possum.
I have a list of names so I can put a check mark next to those who are going to take the thread title down to dirtyville....I know who you people are. Let the games begin!Insane, but I just thought that SK can write an excellent horror story about what`s happening in that drawer when nobody is paying attention...
Sorry, sorry, didn`t mean to highjack the thread, I`m going to bed, gotta stop laughing somehow...

I actually have used mine as a warmer, but that was years ago. Now I'm kind of afraid to open it. We have a brown recluse issue. They like to gather there and plan their attacks. I don't know why they are named "recluse". They are down right feisty and will chase you. I've heard that citrus annoys them. So I polish everything with Lemon Pledge. But I found one hanging out on top of lime in my kitchen. They aren't afraid of anything. Anyhow, let's call my drawer the Brown Recluse Bunker.
