Noun

pantry ‎(plural pantries)

A small room, closet, or cabinet usually located in or near the kitchen, dedicated to food storage and/or storing kitchenware. Since the pantry is not typically temperature-controlled (unlike a refrigerator or root cellar), the foods stored in a pantry are usually shelf-stable staples such as grains, flours, and preserved foods.

Synonyms

(room): walk-in pantry, walk-in, larder, press (Irish & Scots)
(closet): cupboard (UK), kitchen closet, larder, press (Irish & Scots)
