Welcome to our charming Amish Food Storage Unit category where you will find a healthy selection of bin and cabinet type pieces that are perfect for storing fresh food, food staples, and jarred goods. In this category, find jelly cupboards, pie safes, veggie bins, and bread boxes.
Jelly cupboards are not just for storing jelly, or for just using in the dining room or kitchen. During the 19th century in American, jams, jellies, fruit butters, and other preserves where not as easily bought in grocery stores as once a jar ran out and another was needed, they were produced by household labor and stored many weeks in advance for later use. Today, jelly cupboards are used to store many food, kitchen, and dining room items. Let you imagination run wild to determine how jelly cupboards can benefit you home.
Like jelly cupboards, pie safes served as a necessary storage area for specific food items in early European colonies before migrating to the United States with German immigrants. A pie safe is generally a tall and narrow cabinet made of hardwoods, such as oak, maple, or pine.
The food that pie safes were originally intended for keeping were cakes, pies, and other desserts to keep away flies, rodents, and other pesky critters. To this day, pie safes are designed with punched copper fronts to let fresh air ventilate into the cupboard while preserving the food from not only invading critters, but mold and dust particles. Today, also like the jelly cupboard, pie safes are a versatile addition to any kitchen, dining room, or pantry area. Pie safes can be built large enough to store many kitchen and dining room accessories such as silverware, pewter, bowls and the like.
Bread boxes, and veggie bins have maintained their purpose over the decades as useful storage places for, as their names imply, bread loafs and vegetables. The popularity of bread boxes is showing a resurgence due to many consumers learning about the harmful effects of bread made with preservatives. Consumers realize bread boxes are an effective way to lock in moisture, protect from mold, and extend the life of home baked or natural breads.
