Hoosier cabinet

[English]

is a cupboard for baking (early 20th cent.-U.S.). Its predecessors were similar in purpose, one such piece being the "possum belly" cabinet or table.  Produced during the early 20th century by the Hoosier Manufacturing Company of New Castle, Indiana, Hoosier had  several competitors, all in Indiana. The Hoosier cabinet was distinguished by its 3 sections, a lower cabinet for storing dishes, a sliding shelf for storing pots, pans, and larger items, a bread bin, and drawers for utensils and linens. Atop the lower cabinet was a zinc-clad counter which extended to create a larger work top.  Surmounting the counter, was a shallower cabinet with one or several proprietary flour hoppers, some with attached sifters, hooks and racks for storing utensils and jars of coffee, tea, sugar, and spices and extracts; a holder for a rolling pin and towel; and shelves for smaller dishes, glasses, and cups.
