My bf has a bamboo breadbox that keeps bread soo fresh compared to leaving it on the counter. How well does this keep bread fresh?

Works fine... We don't use it for freshness, just to keep the counter from getting cluttered. All in all your bamboo may be better.

I don't know. I didn't keep mine. The bread keeper is so clunky and awkward. And the bread slicer broke after a few uses. I went to a wooden slicer guide and bread bags.

If you place the bread slicer on top of a damp towel it will stay put on the counter. I find that this works well for cutting boards, as well. I am short in stature. I place the bread slicing guide on a table that is considerably lower height than my counters. Makes it much easier to slice loaves that are taller than the slots. To keep the loaf in place within the slicer, you might put a piece of cardboard in the slot behind the heel of the loaf.

I have this same container and although I haven't used it for homemade bread I do use mine for bakery bought bread. It really seems to keep the bread fresher longer.

I agree wholeheartedly with GardenGal's comment. Immediately after the bread is done and taken out, use a pastry brush to brush the top with oil. It will lock in the moisture and keep the crust moist. Do not use a lot of oil because it can become soggy. Sunflower or olive oil is good. Marie

Mine was like that also but frankly it didn't seem to matter. The lip of the top should at least have some overhang on the bottom. My top and bottom did not fit snugly. The bread come out great anyway. I do wish it was glazed inside but other than that it has worked fine. If it is a gap that you can actually see in the side though then it isn't right and I would send it back. Hope this helps.

I usually put a cookie sheet on the bottom shelf in the oven when I make homemade bread. It seems to make it cook more even

I place fresh loaves of French bread in the green bags--stays fresh longer. Not sure if it's the green bag or just a bag that does the trick, but the bread doesn't seem to mold as fast. I've kept bread for nearly ten days, and the end of the loaf is just as fresh as the beginning.

GREAT!...I've noticed that bread, english muffins and other bread type products last alot longer (as long as they are sealed good) using this box.It also LOOKS GOOD (I didn't want the shiny chrome one) simply because they are ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE to keep clean N smudge proof.

This is a great product and you don't need it to be "fresh" as long as it is sealed up. I open about 1 pound a month and use it all and have never had a problem with it being good and working extremely well and I make fresh bread about 3 times a week. it always works!!

I would call it sturdy. We are very happy with this bread box. Looks great and hardly shows fingerprints at all. Holds two loaves of bread, but not much more.

It is not an airtight enclosure, so maybe at least placing fresh homemade bread in a paper bag would be best.

I don't know. But it is like powered milk which if u keep in an airtight container it should keep for a long time. I think it is a great product. I have used it several times and there is a difference in my bread. I love it.Maybe try emailing the company. NoInfo on the can says about storage. Would like to know myself.

I had no issues with this. Just make sure that on your first use you flour it well and really work the flour into the grooves as much as you can. The moisture from the bread and the flour seems to keep the little strands from tearing further or coming off. I didn't have many on mine though.

Not too bad. I really like my breadbox. It holds 2 loaves of bread and a few other small things. It opens easily and really looks nice on the counter.

No it is not air tight. It actually has air holes, this keeps the bread fresh longer. My homemade bread usually keeps for about 3 days in this box. It lasts the same amount of time on the counter before starting to mold but it goes stale immediately, this box keeps it fresh and soft.

I am real happy with this item. When you slice bread it has to be a bit cold and firm, doesn't do a good job a few minutes out of the oven. But the only thing i found is that the sides are made of wood and you have to be real careful when you slice, I nicked one of the slats a few times using a serrated knife, I imagine you can use an electric knife but you need to be careful and keep an eye on what your doing
