About Pantry Systems 

Kitchen pantries became prominent in the medieval period when food and supplies were stored in separate rooms. A larder held meat, a buttery had wine, and a pantry — from the French term pantries, which means bread bag – held bread. It was also where any bread-based meal preparation took place. Moreover, the kitchen pantry was introduced into homes in England and America in the nineteenth century.

Now, these food storage areas are made out of ground or perpendicular cabinets.
