I am offering 10 big ones to anyone that can come over to my house and pull out the drawer under the oven. It is currently holding prisoner the following: every baking pan I own, pizza stone, cupcake/muffin tins (all three sizes) and all others.
The jelly-roll pans are the culprits.
It has been stuck for one week now. Do you know how well things bake in glass casserole dishes? No? Because they don't. Bake well, that is.
I have a bruise ring around my arm (right about at the place that I can reach my arm to) where I spent 45 minutes last night trying to get it open...again.
I may even add something baked to that $10.
Know this, that when you come over to dislodge the drawer....kicking it does not help...neither do mild expletives murmured under one's breath.

What about harsh expletives? Would those work? I wish I could come over and give it a go. I could use $10 AND some baked goods. ;)
I just left you a witty comment and there was a Blogger error. (Insert mild expletive!)
You already tried what I would. You might just have to take that drawer apart. Any visible screws that seem to do that? I once had to remove a door from the hinges because my small child had locked himself in the bathroom! Being a mom really is a jack of all trades! Seriously, those human development classes in college didn't cover ANYTHING.
Heck, I'd come over and do it just for the baked goods! Have you tried rocking the stove backwards and forwards to dislodge the jam? Why do these things always happen as soon as there isn't a man home to help? Murphy's law, I guess.
No visible screws, I have rocked, I have tried to rearrange inside the drawer with absolute limited mobility (hence the bruises) and the kicking actually served the purpose of trying to dislodge the pans from the little shelf ledge that they are stuck on...but the kicking served other purposes as well.
Come on people, what else you got?
I'll be there in 5...
I imagine that some pan or another is hooked to an edge inside. When you finally do get the thing open, you will have a seriously bent cookie sheet for all of your tugging and swearing. You might slide the entire oven out of its place and reach in from behind, invent some new cuss words, or call a home teacher over. Good luck.
Does a chain saw cut metal??
Still stuck? Mild expletives always seem to do the trick for me...
RATS! I hate when that happens. I caught up on your life, for the past month. I'm drooling over your basement. Can we do a switch? I'll work on your drawer if you organize my closet. Deal? Your family is so beautiful...I can't even believe it! Wait, of course I can. Look at those two beautiful parents! Love you.
I hope you have it unstuck by now. I had a similar problem when the kids managed to close the bathroom door with an open drawer behind it. It gave us an inch to work with and all the door hardware was on the other side of the door. Luckily we worked it out, but Tyler almost made me leave that drawer empty forever. Now it just houses underwear since those can be smashed back in the drawer more easily if the kids manage that stunt again.
Good luck with the oven door. I stopped keeping valuable things in there because Daisy likes that drawer too much.
All I know how to do is kick and swear so I'm out. Can I still come over for baked goods?
