I used to keep my bread in a breadbin.

Never again.

I now keep it in a cloth bag with a plastic lining.

Seriously folks, it keeps my bread fresh for at least twice as long!

that could hold a lot more bread than i usually need to keep fresh.

There are three of us in this house. Ailz and I eat one kind of bread, Joe eats another and we get through loads of croissants.

I will always swear by the old-fashioned earthenware bread crocks, even if I (sadly) don't have one myself.

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

I've never tried one of those.

They sound picturesque.

[karenkay.livejournal.com]

I've never heard of or seen one, but it makes sense to me, because they breathe but wouldn't let the bread get stale.

I don't quite know how it works. Would a plastic bag without cloth on the outside do as well?

[karenkay.livejournal.com]

No. Sometimes I use a paper bag in a plastic bag; that works moderately well. There's something about the two layers that works well. Earthenware *has* two layers--the permeable inside and the less permeable outside.

Ooh, that is just what I need, as my breadmaker loaves are too square to fit most breadbins. (Did it come from Lakeland Plastics, by any chance?)

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

Lakeland Plastics- yes indeed. Well spotted!

[huskyteer.livejournal.com]

My first guess for all cool and unusual domestic items.

Bread....in a pillowcase. Who'd a thunk?

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

Don't forget the inner plastic bag....

Hi, Ailz!

Where did you find it? Clever.

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

A Company called Lakeland Plastics.

we get through bread at such a phenomenal rate, ours barely gets as far as the breadbin before it gets devoured.

Mmmm, fresh bread.

There's nothing better.
