2 10 Kitchen [Edition datE] pantries Many people enjoy having one as it offers more accessible storage and a place out of the way to prepare food, hide the mess and even do the washing up. A standard in many homes, pantries disappeared out of kitchens for a time. More recently, they have made a comeback and are now almost a standard fixture in new house designs. The options for pantries range from large corner units produced by a kitchen manufacturer to walk-in pantries that are a room within the home, usually located behind or at one end of a kitchen. A walk-in pantry is a room that is of sufficient size for a person to comfortably walk around. Also known as a larder, a pantry’s main purpose is storage for food, beverages and cooking condiments. Crockery, linen and even household cleaning products, which were traditionally stored in a butler’s pantry may now be kept there. Kitchens are less a workroom and more a living space. In the United States, the pantry might also be a small entryway with an exterior door. Butler’s or serving pantries were historically located between the kitchen and dining room in middle class homes. Today, a butler’s pantry may have benches, sinks and kitchen appliances such as dishwasher and refrigerator. While storage is the main purpose of a pantry, a scullery was a place for food preparation and washing dishes, pots and other items. It may have doubled as a laundry in some houses. With open plan living, there has been a shift from the kitchen as the main work area towards pantries being mini-kitchens with a sink and kitchen appliances. A walk-in or butler’s pantry offers a number of advantages: • an out-of-the-way place to prep and hide the mess from food preparation, dirty dishes or other items. • a place to store those accumulated kitchen appliances. • it can be permanently set up for breakfast with toaster, jug and tray of spreads at the ready. • saves the kitchen island for family gathering, eating and reading. • allows the kitchen to become a social gathering area. • converts the kitchen from a workroom into a living area with book shelves, seating areas and a more decorative layout. • can save on cabinetry if only shelving is installed in the pantry with less in the kitchen. • locating the dishwasher there can cut noise in the living area. The negatives of a pantry include: • higher building costs as it increases the square metres as well as another wall, door and potentially more shelving, cupboards and sinks. • it is another area to clean. • the room could be dark if no window. • if preparation is carried out in the pantry, the person is shut away from the family. While the major drawback of including a pantry is the added building costs, many people enjoy having one as it offers more accessible storage and a place out of the way to prepare food, hide the mess and even do the washing up. Pantries without a window can be dark. Appliances are often located in pantries today. Pantries with only shelving can save on cabinetry.
