A New Pie Safe

A pie safe, also called a pie cupboard, pie chest, kitchen safe, and meat safe, is a piece of furniture designed to store pies and other food items. This was a normal household item before iceboxes came into regular use. It was considered an important part of the American household starting in the 1700's and continuing through the 1800's.

The pie safe was used to store not only pies, but also meat, bread, and other perishables, protecting them from vermin and insects.

With the launch of Maltby Pie Company, we needed a place to store baked pies for the first 24 hours after baking.  This lovely little pine pie safe is perfect for the storage of our pies until we deliver them to our clients.
