  Mine's not getting into the drawer, but he has figured out how to open the oven () I found a child-proofing deal that is basically a plastic strap with adhesive on both sides that you can use to keep different things closed. One side has a latch that you can open so you can use said thing. We put it on the oven door...so far it seems to work. You may want to try something like that if you want to keep him out of it.

   Here is the one we got - https://www.target.com/p/safety-1st-adjustable-strap-2-pack/-/A-14061602#prodSlot=medium_1_9

  We are struggling with this too we keeps pans in there and he tries to pull them out. We haven't found anything baby proofing wise that would work--Kate I'm glad you posted this you read my mind!

  I was going to suggest the strap too. We haven't babyproofed much so far, so I'm not sure how good it works, I just made a list of everything I think we'll need for the house, so that's where I saw it. 

  Sidenote- I read in a babyproofing "pin"- and I hadn't thought of this- don't let baby play with pots and pans, because when they are old enough/tall enough they might see their "toy" on top of the stove and pull it down and burn themselves.

  This probably goes without saying, but it's important to remember that oven doors can lead to far scarier problems.  Make sure, if you haven't yet, that you've bought a kit to anchor your entire oven to the wall and keep it from tipping forward.  We haven't yet, but only because our son is cordoned off from the kitchen.  Tipping ovens and televisions--and the consequences--are frequent clips on my mental disaster reel.  :-/

  The TV is on my radar. We still have a big old box. I hope to get a wall-mount flat-screen in the next 2-3 months to help avoid that issue.
