What is the difference between a jelly cupboard and a pie safe?
A pie safe is a safe-like kitchen cupboard with two doors that feature pierced holes. These holes allow pies to safely cool when placed inside the cupboard. A jelly cupboard is a kitchen cupboard that features two doors and two drawers. Shop an array of pie safes and jelly cupboards on 1stDibs.
