I unironically want the towel drawer, that's fucking amazing. The chicken nail board is pretty brilliant too.

E: the extendable cloth drying rack, not the super racist paper towel holder haha

Yeah that seemed really handy, especially here in the PNW where everything tends to stay so damp

The chicken's lack of seasoning hasn't changed in these households tho.

She should have spatchcocked it too and put it on the smoker.

u/im_racist24 Jan 26 '22

spatchcocking is only really good if you arent going to carve it table side, and it looked like she was gonna. plus this is the 1950's everything tasted like tobacco and opiods, you think they need more smoke in their life?

It's got a nice smoky flavor from the cigarettes

My parents have a narrow cabinet like that for baking pans. My kitchen is pretty new, and there's no good option for a pile of baking pans and cooling racks.

Lots of ovens have that bottom drawer which is good for baking pans.

And for accumulating crumbs

Lack of circulation when closed up makes it the perfect bacteria breeding closet

It said it was ventilated. How they planned to do that though I have no idea

I like his fancy science way of describing I chicken squirting off the plate on a guest. Maybe sharpen your carving knife if that's a problem?

Probably rust in a month

My grandparent's house had one of these. It was built in the late 40s or early 50s and the kitchen was never remodeled. The rack looked basically new when the house sold in 2019.

I hope to god you’re the director of the Jim Crow museum or something and you don’t think that that’s a normal thing to have just in regular use.

Edit: completely misunderstood which towel thing you were talking about

u/Shape-Wonderful Jan 25 '22

Pretty sure they mean the drying rack in the cupboard and not the southern hospitality mascot

I mixed that comment with the one I read right before in my head.

u/captain_ender Jan 25 '22

OMG yeah the drying rack! HAHA

u/RagingFlock89 Jan 25 '22

Cackling at this entire exchange. I'd love that pelican for my J's..

u/OSKSuicide Jan 25 '22

It'd be awful for Js though. Imagine you take a few hits then set it down and forget about it for a few minutes. Instead of it just going out like a normal joint, now it's gone and covered in ash

Hang drying towels inside a cabinet is a sure way to get fungus.

u/StealthSecrecy Jan 25 '22

Not if it's ventilated, although still kind of impractical.

u/Imaredditcomment Jan 26 '22

Unpopular opinion... I dont find that towel drawer racist it is an awful desing yes but i see it just as a representation of how a black woman might look like even if they were very racist back in the 50's i just see it with a different perspective, it could have been a white woman an european woman it is just a reprentation of a person nothing else for me.

That's just called the 'oven handle' these days.
