That's the worst place to put your bread given the choice of
freezer, room temp, or refrigerator. Searches show up many

How long does it take you to go through a loaf of bread? A loaf last sat
least a week for me, so I toss into the freezer when i get home and take
out a couple slices at a time as needed. It is not as good as fresh, but
it is better than 2-3 day old bread.

Our bread does very well in the fridge.

Mine too. But it depends on what kind of bread. The commercial
packaged breads contain spoilage retardants so they keep well, but
unpackaaged bakery breads like French, ryes, rolls, etc. go stale
quickly. Whole wheat keeps a bit longer as it contains more oil. I
freeze and refrigerate bread to thaw, a loaf lasts me about a week.

Would be okay for toast but it really does change the texture.

If I feel the bread is too moist, I let it breath. Keep an eye on it, then
reseal.

I believe you. I think the argument against refrigerating it is more
evidence that people are using their science theories more than their
cooking ability and practical experience. "A little learning is a
dangerous thing."

I certainly agree with the freezer option. If I had room, that's
exactly what I'd do too.

Mine, too. I don't eat a lot of bread but a loaf of Publix brand whole
wheat bread lasts for a couple of weeks in the fridge. The texture is
just fine, not too moist or prone to mold and not tough or stale
quickly, either.

I stopped putting it in there years ago because I didn't like
how it turned out. I wasn't surprised to hear there's science
behind it.

Yabbut... if I didn't store bread in the fridge it would definitely get
moldy before I could use up the loaf. Sure, I could buy smaller
loaves... some name brand like Pepperidge Farm at twice the price. But
I like the store brand (not artisnal type) bread. I freeze loaves of
it, too. What I need to start doing is what someone else (Dave?)
mentioned and just thaw a couple of slices as I need them. Doesn't take
long. Now if only I could find eggs by the half dozen...

When I had my store [a country store in the boondocks] 40 years ago
there was a little o' lady who wanted only the freshest eggs and asked
if she could but them 2 at a time.

Sure, says I and opened a carton and sold her two eggs. I put the
rest of the carton in my personal fridge behind the counter. A
couple days later she came in for 2 more & I sold her some out of the
'loose egg' carton. It took her less than 2 weeks to buy all of
the eggs out of that carton.

I bought from a local farmer and knew the eggs in my cooler were
always less than a week old. The sell-by date code-- if we used such
a thing- would have been 6 weeks. Chances are the last 2 eggs
she would buy out of her carton were fresher than the ones she could
buy at the local supermarket.

Lady was happy- I was getting a good deal.

I suggest you check Craig's list- Buy a dozen [or 2] direct from the
farmer and try to use them up in less than 8 weeks or so.

Hey, I hear you. It's a pain in the neck, but I keep it in the
freezer and take out what I need and let it thaw.

I have heard you should take out the whole loaf, let it thaw,
then refreeze what you don't use. Sounds iffy.

When I kept it in the refrigerator, it would have a texture like
it was mildewy and that ooks me out. Have you ever eaten moldy
bread and only figured it out after a couple of bites? Ahhhh!
I'm just touchy about it.

If putting it into the refrigerator works for you, go for it.
I just wouldn't advise someone asking to do that without knowing
why it's not recommended.

It can take over the freezer sometimes, too. Hard rolls, hot dog
rolls, then you get a 2 fer sale on loaf bread.

> Now if only I could find eggs by the half dozen...

Buy a dozen and eat 6 quick. Heh.

I've got 3 of the old 6oz Coke bottles, never been opened...still has the
ancient coke in them. I guess it's too late now to get my deposit back on
the bottles? Maybe the guys at Pawn Stars will be interested in them
someday?

I saw half cartons of eggs today at my local organic coop.
Or buy a dozen cause they keep for weeks and weeks, or give half away to
a neighbor/friend (assuming she has any).

Half dozens would work for me. I only have one egg a week, maybe one
more in cooking. My wife OTOH, eats at least a dozen eggs per week.

I don't know, I did put it in the fridge, but then I saw a bunch of moisture in the bag on the plastic, so I took it out.
This is Nickols whole wheat country style bread. I usually only use about a loaf a week, less really, but I usually throw it out in a week, cause I like it fresh. I just tried the "bunny" brand from Kroger, to see if a different brand would be better, but I need to look more careful at the store, this one says "best if used by Dec 14th" I just got it tonight, Dec 11th, and it don't seem real fresh. (Soft) I like a soft bread.

I made a wrong turn once and wound up driving down a dirt road to find a
place to turn around. There was an old shed, open to the elements, with
a rusting Coca-Cola chest-type cooler just sitting there. I immediately
thought of Pawn Stars and how those guys will buy those things for a
couple hundred bucks, have them refurbished and sell them to collectors.

It's one of the few "reality shows" that I enjoy. Real or fake, the people
are entertaining and the items sold are interesting to hear about. It's the
original and still the best of all the pawn shows, imo.

I like watching the characters and watching the items. I didn't like
watching storage wars at first since it's obviously set up, the characters
grew on me. It's funny that pawn stars shop, American restoration, and
counting cars, are in close perimeter of each other in Vegas.

If I get back there, I want to visit the museum.

That's because they are all related. First there was Pawn Stars,
American Restorations was a spin off from that and Counting cars was a
spin off from American Restorations.
