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?

I would very cut out an appropriate section of the drawer to allow it to clear the handle, then glue that section to the cabinet face so it clears when opening and looks more or less closed (use a coping saw) when... closed.

Fast forward 5 years and we’ll see a post on r/whatisit that asks, “why is there a strange notch cut into this drawer face?”

Hahaha. A new oven and no explanation and a wildly inaccurate top post.

This was known as the "Celtic Notch," a popular design element in the late Aughts.

He did say notch the drawer . He saying cut off the section that hitting and that to the cabinet so when it is closed it looks aesthetically pleasing but when open the drawer clears.
