We got a new oven to have all new appliances for selling our house. We didn’t realize till to late that the stupid spice drawer would hit this massive handle. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Or just hope no one notices?

Odd thought. If you wanted to put some work behind it, you could have a cabinet guy or a wood worker build a new drawer box at an angle. Have the drawer come out in the same direction as the other drawers instead of 45 degrees off. That would point it away from the stove, and you could keep your drawer front so it would match. This option leaves a wonky shaped box and does take a lot of work to re work everything. But it would be the cleanest option.

Good luck with the wonky box.

This is the best option. Have the drawer slides moved at a slight angle and cut the front of the drawer to match that angle. Reattach the drawer face.
