Does it protect the bread from ants, sugar or larger?

No, it would not protect against sugar ants or any larger kinds of ants. There is no rubber seal around the door for air tightness. In fact, I can fit a credit card through the gap above the top of the door when it's closed. Also, there are two small, pre-cut holes in the back of the box for mounting, which any size ant could fit through.

I just ckd my bread box & it seals up pretty tight.. .ants would have a heck of a time trying to get in..

I don't think it would protect it from very small ants. Don't understand "from sugar". Planning to submerge it in sugar?

I don't know if it would or not, as it is not air tight. But it would protect from larger bugs, maybe not ants though.

I use it to raise 2 loaves of Artisan French bread in the big bowl for all the rises until the last one when I make two loaves and rise them in a cochere (sp?) or the linen cloth. I've tried to put it into the Proofer but it is too hard to get them out. And that time was the only time I had to clean it. Most all other times the container is the one that needs cleaning. Guess your answer is that most of the time you can make two regular size loaves. It all depends on your container. It's really bigger than you might think too. I'm glad I purchased it.

I have not had a problem with ants. I would assume if you keep the little opening on the side closed you would not have a problem.

No this will not keep ants out. This isn't an air tight seal on this compost bin. I recently had ants invade the kitchen because of the bin. It's still a good bin though.

Yes. I can fit 2 loaves of bread plus tuck a few random items in at the same time. I really like mine, but haven't noticed that it keeps bread from molding any slower. It looks great in my 'retro/euro' kitchen.

It snaps down as others have said, but it won't keep ants out. If I leave it on the counter overnight, there are usually a ton of ants on the butter in the morning. Am looking for one that is tighter. Regards, Dan

No. It keeps things dry so that crackers, chips, cereal etc. don't loose their crunch.It would dry bread out making it hard.

No. As the container is vertical and the bread is in vertical shape. For me it is alright, for the bread is great !

The one I bought is not quite deep enough for a loaf of bread. That would be a more perfect size, though.

Since I don't live in a dry climate like Arizona I can't really answer your question. I can tell you it is not air-tight. We use it primarily to keep the counter top from looking uncluttered, plus the stainless steel finish matches our decor. We are able to keep our bread for weeks but I'm sure that's due in large part to sealing the bread up tight in it's original packaging. If you are looking for something air-tight, you should look at something like Tupperware or similar. Hope this helps...

I just put 2 standard loaves of whole grain bread in one without squishing the bread. I do not think the longer ones would fit. I 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 haven't had it for long and don't have ants in my home so have not have any problems. However it doesn't have a seal on it but fits snug.

I have one for bread flour and one for regular flour. I also mark the outside of the container. I also have one for sugar. They keep the pantry very organized.

No, it acts just like a cookie cutter. The less "stuff" you have in the sandwich the better it cuts the bread and food. But it does not seal the edges.

I can't really say. Bread does not last long around our house; usually a loaf is gone in 3 days or less . It is not sealed. Air will get in behind the swiveling roll top.

I had the same problem. It won't hurt anything and will gradually go away. Its a great bread box.
