Bread bin

to wit - storage of bread

Store in paper, never plastic
"A fresh loaf of bread is best eaten within two to three days. If you plan on devouring it right away, then keeping it in a paper bag on the counter is the move. While storing in plastic seems like the right idea, this actually encourages mold growth, resulting in the bread going bad much faster. I also save the heels of my bread and use them as covers for the cut side of my loaf. Keeping the cut side of your loaf as unexposed as possible will also help retain its freshness."

Bread boxes are your friends
"Bread boxes are a great way to keep bread, and a fun way to add style to your kitchen. They have small holes in them, which allow just a little air to circulate, keeping bread from molding. If you have pest concerns and prefer to keep bread in an airtight container, try tossing in a slice of bread with your loaf. The slice with more surface area will attract water and help control the moisture content in your container."

You want to die at 40 years old and have the most minimal of tech and lifestyle? I get what you're saying but never would I want to live in the 20th century!

You should never refrigerate bread anyway. The starch molecules in bread recrystallize very quickly at cool temperatures, and cause the bread to stale much faster, also as you say, taste crap cold.

Why Refrigerating Bread is a Big No No

Fridge, freezer, bread box, pantry – there are a ton of different ways to store your bread. But which method will make loaves last longer?

Does Refrigeration Really Ruin Bread?

Bread doesn't just go stale by drying out: It also goes stale due to the retrogradation of starch. Don't know what that means? We explain it, then show how best to store bread so that you can eat it days on end.

I like bread but it goes to waste in my home, I need a package of bread of maybe 8 slices. A full size loaf ends up uneaten and in the bin, and small loaves have silly size slices. So it's quite rare I eat bread.

OcUK don’t sell bread bins. You can say Amazon.

Also, bread bins are a bit rubbish, they tend to cultivate mould.

We bake every couple of days. At the end of the day we bake, we slice any bread that’s left and freeze it even if we’re going to use it the next day. It literally takes just a few seconds to defrost cut bread and because it was so fresh when it was frozen, it’s just as good when defrosted. The crust is still nice and crusty and the crumb is soft.

This may or may not work as well with awful mass produced Chorleywood rubbish bread.
