I have something to say about the venerable Bread Box. Years ago I used a bread box and realized its worth then, but for some reason did away with it. What’s good about a bread box? It seems that bread lasts 2 to 3 times longer if kept in one. It must create a micro environment of no light, low temperature and low humidity. Mold doesn’t have a chance in a no and low environment. The reason I am writing this is because a bread box came with the house I am renting and I have been using it since 1 November. The only problem I had with the bread box was that the sticker was still on the outside. I abhor those stickers that are especially on store bought plastic ware. People who do not remove them do not apprecaite the aesthetic of a clean plastic surface. Just to stay on this tangent those people are lazy. Take the damn stickers off. Back to bread boxes. They work. It’s nice to have a counter clear of accouterments but this one is on my essential list. It actually helps clear up unsightly clutter of loaves and buns. In the NPF home made loaves will last longer and it will keep the mice away.
