save the bread clips from finished loaves because you’re probably gonna lose one of those fuckers someday and you’ll be glad you saved this one
I twist and fold inside out:
Still chaotic neutral, IMO
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.
A bread box can be good for packing bread or sandwiches that you want to protect from being squished, like when camping for example.
That is not a bread box, more of a travel bread case. I use one for eggs and bread stuff when camping as well. But this… thing is a counter bound thing that is heavy and artsy.
Yeah, and I’m guessing the seal is so bad that it’s only marginally better than just leaving the bag open. But even if it does seal well, it’s got way more air in there to dry the bread out between openings. Plus it takes up space and needs to be cleaned.
If it doesn’t seal well, I’d put it in CE and shift everything else by 1, except leave the CG one where it is and have the LN one skip that slot.
If it does seal well, it might make it to NE, but it would be a tough call between that and doing the same as if it didn’t seal well.
Though if your household goes through bread fast enough, then I’d say the best options are the ones that don’t involve using other materials, including just leaving it open.
Edit: Note that my harsh judgement of bread boxes assumes the bag is discarded like it appears to be in the picture. There’s a comment further down (currently) that mentions putting it in a box with the bag still on, and I could agree that that might be the best option.
Also, I thought of a new better candidate for CE: opening the bag, grabbing it by the other end, helicoptering it until empty, then grabbing bread from around the room as needed.
Oh wait, no, that’s just NE, CE is storing it in the sink, bag or no bag.
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 either reuse the clip or twist and tuck it if there’s no clip. I don’t understand why I’d use extra stuff for this like my own clips or rubber bands
I’m with you, either lawful or chaotic neutral is the way. Everyone else is trying to hard or not trying hard enough.
When you put the Lawful Neutral into the Lawful Good to form the Lawful Supreme
Twist and tuck has never let me down
Always eat the entire loaf in one sitting.
Throw in the fridge
What if I keep my bread in the fridge?
Get out. Your kind isn’t welcome 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.
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.
What about reusing the bag clip plus the twist and tuck method?
i usually tie a knot, or use the little noodle thing that comes with the bread package to tie it
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
