Twist and tuck has never let me down
I twist and fold inside out:
When you put the Lawful Neutral into the Lawful Good to form the Lawful Supreme
The box being “good” is wild. That is where bread goes stale unseen and uneaten. Its gotta be near the top of pointless kitchen things that only people with more money then sense have.
Twist and tuck all day erre’day
All day until I started steady living with a woman. The twist tie or whatever must be attached at all times.
Many years later we got a cheap plastic bread box and I gotta say it’s awesome. You can twist and tuck and the bread stays good even longer.
I have never in my entire life seen an actual bread box, I thought they were a thing from England or something
My grandma used one. Personally I think the real function was to keep mice from eating your bread, but that hasn’t been a problem for a long time.
They serve to keep bread at a cool, constant temperature, keep the mice away, and help keep the bread from going stale.
To be fair, you originally said, “the real reason,” but have just listed three different equal reasons.
Bread can’t go stale if the mice keep eating it. There’s an order of operations here.
I don’t know that I agree that breadboxes were solely used in times/cases where the risk of mice getting to the bread was present but I get your reasoning.
As with many things it starts for one reason, then a different benefit comes up, becomes a norm just because, then peters out.
How else to store real bread?
So not just the sandwich/toast bread, that comes in plastic bags, but real bread, with a crust and in plastic wrap it would lose its crust, but without any protection, it dries out.
It’s a delicate balance act, where paper and a bread box seem to work bestI think most people just leave it in the plastic bag, but personally I have a bread bag that breathes so the crust doesn’t become spongey
English here. Anyone I know with a bread box use it in combination with one of the others. I have one, so we’re Bread Box + Twist and Tuck.
They’re pretty common here in Sweden, at least in my experience.
Throw in the fridge
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.
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.
Always eat the entire loaf in one sitting.
You don’t arrange them in your bread basket?
What about a bread bag? Like the kind Keeki makes? Thats what I use.
Where would those fall?
I learned how to do this and never went back.
Reuse clip or twist and tuck are the only appropriate methods.
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.)
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.
The cap is “5 mins crafts” level
