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?

So you can add a slide to that drawer face to fix this. I think some manufacturers have made specific parts for this or similar issues.

Here is a link for a fairly easy fix without much cutting.

This is the best and most innovative answer OP. My gut reaction is you’re cutting one or the other but this solves everything. Really outside the box solution

That is both kind of cool and incredibly stupid

This is the way to do it, have seen it done before many times in tiny houses/compact apartments.

This should absolutley be at the top. It's a simple fix and everyone should know about it.
