I've always wanted one even though I know it would be rarely used. Sure would be nice when I did want one though. I'd probably use that more often than a meat grinder. Sorry Sheldon! |

Agree. Whenever I buy a fresh loaf, it stays out room temp for up to a week. After that, I'll put it in fridge for toast and buy a new loaf for fresh. |

When I worked at the school, I would bring my turkey roasts, hams, etc. to work and slice them on the big slicer, yes...on my own time, I miss being able to do that. ![]() Cheri |

For the amount of bread that I use and the time it takes for me to use it up, I just stick it directly into the freezer.

I've not noticed it being stale, however I don't eat much bread anymore, so if I do have bread, it's usually toasted. Cheri |

Why not? Cheri == I make all our bread and I don't eat much, so I put half in the freezer. I've never thought of putting it in the fridge. It seems to keep ok in the bread bin until he needs the other half. |

Mold is a problem in the tropics so I can appreciate bread that contains a lot of chemicals that suppress that green stuff. I don't mind if the bread is stale. Stale bread I can eat. OTOH, I won't be eating bread for a while.. |

Even very light toasting helps a lot. I was pretty poor growing up, and we usually bought sliced loaf bread at the "day old" store of a local bakery (sunbeam or colonial brands), and kept it in the fridge. It was very cheap compared to the same branded bread at the grocery stores, and often no more than a day or two older. They had those damn junk cakes too, and they *never* go bad, what with all the chemical preservatives. Ma would let us have a few. You couldn't tell the difference from a fresh one bought at the fanciest stores. |

The same crappy white bread at the grocery store is a couple bucks per loaf. When we buy 20 loaves of bread to stuff inside a pig, I make sure I get there on Seniors' Day (Wednesdays, if memory serves). Cindy Hamilton |

Popeye buys bread to use as follows: He cuts off the crust and throws it out his windows (with all his other refuse). Then he rolls the bread into little tightly compacted balls ... some small, and some larger. The small ones are used to stuff in his ears and nostrils. I'll refrain from revealing the fate of the larger balls. |

I store bread in a countertop bread box for a week and it stays very edible. The only time bread stored on ones countertop gets moldy in under a week is in a filthy kitchen. Some store blocks of cheese in their fridge for a week and it gets all moldy, soley because they handle cheese with unwashed crotch hands... it's amazing how many don't wash their hands after wiping because there's no restaurant sign in their shit house. Janet B, get yourself a surgeon's scrub brush and a bar of brown soap. |
