meat-safe
Ventilated food storage
A meat-safe is a ventilated cabinet or cupboard for storing meat and other perishables, designed to keep flies and pests out while allowing air circulation.
Common before refrigeration became widespread, meat-safes typically had mesh or perforated metal panels.
The term remains current in British and Australian English, sometimes referring to any food storage cupboard: Gran still keeps the butter in the old meat-safe.
