We have to lock ours in a safe because our cat's an asshole
Hate this diagram because who uses a bread box without any of the other non-chaotic evil options.
Chaotic neutral and lawful good is the GOAT
Drop the bread box and just gently squish the entire loaf before twisting and tucking to basically vacuum seal it. That's my GOAT
This. For soft crumb American sandwich sliced bread, you want as little air circulation as possible, balanced only by not crushing the loaf. A bread box is a quaint place to toss the bread once you squish the air out, but without the bag it's basically the same as the chaotic evil option.
This image is fairly old, and I have disagreed with it from the get go. Chaotic evil is tying as many knots as possible, forcing one to cut the bag open.
After licking every slice.
Chaotic evil is leaving the bag wide open .... in the freezer ... behind the three bags of frozen fries ... for three weeks .... but it's the only bread you have at 11pm on a Saturday night and you don't feel like doing or getting anything else to make you sandwich.
what is the bottle hack?
You put the bread in a bottle and you can just put the cap on it to keep it fresh. You can just pour it into your toaster after that!
Cut the top off of a 2 liter bottle and put the bread bag through the neck, spread it around the neck, then put on the bottle cap.
sounds like a lot of work when I can just leave the bag open
Why even put it back tbh
- cut the neck off a plastic bottle
- thread the end of the bag through
- fold the bag open around the bottle neck
- close the cap, trapping the bag between the bottle neck and the cap.
I’m sure it works but any other method of closing the bag from the top two rows are better imo, at least for bread.
I put mine in the fridge. Why? It lasts longer.
That's actually false. Bread is one of the few items that turn bad quicker in the fridge than on the counter. https://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/shopping-storing/food/bread-storage
I live in a hot, humid environment. Keeping bread in the fridge helps it to stay good for multiple weeks. If I leave it out, it molds way quicker. I also sometimes will store bread in the freezer to keep it fresh even longer if I know I'm just going to make toast out of it.
Oh I don't mean homemade. I meant regular bread. I don't bake. I cook. But good to know!
Yeah, good point, but that article isn't talking about what's in this picture.
Store-bought sandwich bread usually can be kept in the fridge without much change in texture. That’s because it often contains additives and preservatives that keep it fresh longer.
Does anyone still have a bread box? I assume it’s to stop rodents, but hopefully most people don’t have rodents in their house. Does a bread box do anything else, or is that another technology that can fade into history?
Edit: TIL;
I bought bread box once but every time we used it the bread wouldn’t last 3 days. Can anyone explain why that was?
Chaotic neutral for me. The twist tie goes in my twist tie collection.
idk why anyone would choose anything but chaotic neutral
unless you own a breadbox
Exactly! Everything else is just extra steps for the same result.
I use a bread box and still put the bread in its original bag with the original clip.
True lawful good. Bread box alone is chaotic evil disguised as lawful good.
Bread box doesn't preserve air retention or protect against anything smaller than a mouse (roaches, air borne nasties).
Where does “twist and pull back over the loaf” fall? Same as twist and tuck essentially?
Its really just the best method no need for some stupid ass bottle cap. But it seals it just as well.
I think in my entire life I've only ever seen one or maybe 2 bread boxes.
I tie a slip knot. That is stupidly easy to do/undo, but apparently I am hated for it.
Twist & Tuck gang
Where's the "four slices per freezer bag and keep in the freezer" option? Or am I just too good for this chart?
Omg how much plastic do you go through?
I imagine you could reuse those.
Hair tie. I always have 1, or 2, or 3 in my pocket.
Chaotic neutral is the one true answer because it requires no secondary sealing device (clip, twist tie, rubber band, etc). It also allows you to open the bag with one hand.
I'm chaotic neutral!
I had to switch to using a bread box because my dog would eat anything on the counter, and I didn't really have anywhere else to store my bread/bagels without really rearranging my limited cabinet space.
That dog was ravenous. She even ate a whole crab once, shell and all. I learned my lesson.
Lawful good and chaotic good is so much work for diminishing return. The best way to do it is to use back the tag so you know when to throw this bag of still good bread into the fridge.
