Jonas and his dad are moving into a new apartment. Jonas is given the task of organizing the kitchen drawers. He opens his first box to find it full of oven mitts and hot pads. Which would be the MOST useful location for these items?

Oven mitts and hot pads are used when handling hot cookware, so they should be easy to reach near the stove. A drawer beside the stove is the most useful location; keeping them under the sink or with dinnerware would make them less convenient when cooking.
