    there is enuff of a 'seal' between the drawer and it's tracks and lid that the air that is circulated around in the fridge (which dries things out) cannot get into the drawer much.... therefore, things in that drawer will not dry out as fast and remain 'crisp' rather than 'wilted'.....

    they arent called crispers--i think your grandmother may be on drugs...have you considered euthanasia?
