do bread boxes actually work?

[Kaido]

I usually don't go through a loaf of bread too quickly...I heard bread boxes keep the bread good longer. Is this true?

I saw wooden ones and metal ones on Amazon.com, is there any difference? I found a nice cheap one here:

Should I go for it?

yeah I tried that, but bread gets kind of...stiff. I tried storing some rolls in the fridge the other day, and while they weren't as hard as a rock they were a lot stiffer. Not as much fun to eat

no bread boxes don't do much in my experience. If you want to keep bread long fereeze it, then stick it in the oven for 10 or 15 minutes @ around 300 when you need it

it is just a place to put it

it doesn't keep it from molding

Nope.

Or go to the store and buy another loaf for a $1 when the old when gets nasty.

yeah dude, I have a Pepperige Farms near my house, they make awesome sandwhich bread.

I also get Great Harvest bread once in awhile, although its a bit more of a drive. Anyone else had bread from there?

Bread boxes don't do anything to keep bread fresher longer. It's just a place to store bread.

If the bag is airtight, it shouldn't matter.

Yeah, good luck with that...

I find that packing bread in oil keeps it fresh for many days.

Yep, we've got Great Harvest here in Oregon too. Good stuff. Especially when it's fresh and warm.

How would having a box around it help?

My mom has one of those though not the same brand. They're very practical things. We use it everyday and the bread smells and tastes so HOMEMADE.

I have a tuperware style breadbox that seals and all... it seems to keep bread freash outside a fridge for over a week. I've never NOT used it, so I don't know if that's good or not. With a family of four the bread doesn't last much longer than that anyway. If I buy too much bread, it also helps it from getting stiff when I DO put it in the fridge. Aside from being chilled, it tastes soft as ever.
