I learned how to do this and never went back.
always using a bag clip. Reusing the bag clip if it needs to be eaten soon (e.g. at a party) since it’s less of a fuss to remove it.
You don’t arrange them in your bread basket?
Maybe it depends on climate, but bread left out where I am gets moldy way before it gets stale. The best solution is to keep it in the freezer (in a bag, and any of those methods but CE would probably be fine). Weeks later, the bread is still soft and send fresh. Bread thaws unbelievably fast. If I’m making a sandwich, I take two slices out and put them on a plate separated. Usually by the time I’ve got the other ingredients ready to go, the bread is thawed. If you’re toasting the bread, it can go straight from freezer to toaster. If you’re making sandwiches to take to work or school, you can just make them on the frozen bread.
This is the way. I rarely eat bread that isn’t at least warmed, so the only issue with the frozen bread is the effort it sometimes takes to separate slices.
What about a bread bag? Like the kind Keeki makes? Thats what I use.
Where would those fall?
I had to look it up. Apparently it’s cloth, sealed with beeswax. I wonder how you’re supposed to clean it.
You just turn it inside out and wash with cold water and soap when needed. Then dry in the sun.
Twist and tuck has never let me down
What if I keep my bread in the fridge?
Then you are just doing it wrong. Bread goes stale faster in the fridge due to easier crystallization
I live somewhere extremely humid. Even potato chips can start going bad in a day here.
I started doing this and have never looked back. We also keep the next loaf in the freezer, so we always have bread.
I have a queue: one loaf at the front gets stored on the counter, the next two loaves are in the fridge (generally replenished from the store, so most bread goes through my place unfrozen), then any others in the freezer.
I toast most bread I eat and find the difference between kept in fridge and not is unnoticeable.
I do similar with hot dog and hamburger buns, though they don’t have a counter space due to being used less frequently.
Haven’t had to throw out moldy bread nearly as much since I started doing that.
Get out. Your kind isn’t welcome here.
It is inarguable that anything but twist/tuck is ok. Bread box is a whimsical idea from when material science was advanced enough to make horseshoes. Everything else either requires more plastic/steps or wrecks the bread.
There’s really no argument here.
You want to know what bothers me with this chart? What has always bothered me, is it does not mention the twist-tie that comes with the bread when purchased.
Where is it? Where.
P.s. if you say it’s the clip, that is clearly a chip bag clip, meant for chip bags. That clip does not come with the bread bag.
P.s.s. Make the FUCKING TWIST-TIE that comes with the bread true natural. Any deviation from it becomes a different part of the chart. Fuck off rubber band method. Replace the bottle cap method. (Who uses the bottle cap + ring method anyway? That should be in the ‘psychopath waisting energy and justifying it with internet logic’ level of evil category.)
The cap is “5 mins crafts” level
At least where I’m from (Canada), bread comes with a clip holding the bag shut, not a twist tie. “Re-using the clip” means the clip the came with the bag. You can see that it’s a different shape in the picture. This would be the equivalent of re-using the twist tie, if that’s how the bread is packaged where you live.
I tuck and put in breadbox. Naked in breadbox doesnt last long and it dries out. Tuck is easy to do, to undo and gets the job done as good as anything else when combined with a breadbox.
If you look at it, it’s lawful good.
But at its core, it’s chaotic neutral.
True neutral?
No, I’m twist’n’tucking in the bread box.
What in the world is the bottle hack
Cutting off the top of a bottle and jamming the bag through the lid to seal it.
That sounds chaotic evil to me tbh
You cut the head off a bottle so you have the screwy-bit. Then you pull the open end through the bottle-Head and screw the lid on.
Hmmmmmmmmmm microplastics in my bread
TBF those are already in there. They’re in the water supply!
Wouldn’t want to get those inside its plastic bag
Bread that’s in a plastic bag lol
I do not think you are ripping apart the plastic bag everytime. The joke is on everyone else, ours come in paper bags and you cut it with a machine.
I guess I’m lawful evil lol
Chaotic neutral for the win.
people own bread boxes?
At least three people on Earth own bread boxes. Elsewhere, I’m unsure.
Yes, my family uses it to store spatulas.
I got mine on the side of the road. Sanded it down and painted it up.
I love it. Bread goes in. Stays fresh.
We got one like a year ago and I love it. Cheap plastic thing. It’s airtight. No more arguments about me not using that useless bread tie and the bread lasts longer.
I have one. We still use the plastic bags, but just needed a place to put it that wasn’t “out.”
Breadbox should be chaotic side
Since most of them are not airtight they suck like hell and they heat up in the summer to make a mold heaven. Some of them have gaps larger than a London subway station.
