The Yatmung Extra-Large Deli Drawer is designed to create a dedicated zone for cold cuts and cheeses in refrigerators that lack a built-in deli tray. It uses high-grade PET plastic, which offers better tensile strength and clarity than standard polystyrene. The 2.8mm thick support rails are built to handle typical deli loads of 2 to 3 lbs. However, placing heavy glass jars in this hanging drawer can lead to "material creep," where the plastic slowly deforms under constant high pressure.
The design features a reinforced front-grip handle for easier access. To ensure the drawer remains stable, the refrigerator shelf should be at least 13.5 inches deep to allow the fridge door to close properly. Community feedback suggests that the clips may feel less secure on very thin glass shelves (less than 0.5 inches). In such cases, adding a small piece of food-grade silicone tape to the shelf edge can help prevent the unit from sliding laterally when the drawer is pulled.
The enclosed nature of the drawer can help maintain a slightly more consistent temperature for sensitive items like nitrates and cheeses. Like other PET products, it is not dishwasher safe and should be cleaned by hand to avoid warping. Additionally, the tension of the hanging brackets may decrease if the unit is frequently removed and reinstalled for cleaning.
If you have a deeper refrigerator and need more extension, the 18.5-inch maximum size drawer offers a longer reach.
