Bread box? I haven't seen one of those in decades. Maybe they have changed but they are just to make the kitchen look nice right? They don't actually preserve anything right? If you live in a humid environment that bread is going bad immediately unless you put it in an air tight container. Mold loves water.

I use bag and twist tie or clip all of the way. If I am going to use it fast or freeze it if I am not going to finish it within a few days.

Ours is in use to keep the damn cat from eating through the bag.

I use a breadbox for homemade bread and it keeps it good for a while.

Does it seal the bread or anything? From a pure preservation standpoint does the bread last longer outside of a bread box vs inside?

Does blocking the light prevent bread from going off?

Is "going off" a British phrase? It's funny, like the bread is going to explode.

When you eat off food your butt will explode.

I was always pro-breadbox until I moved to an area with lots of roaches. Now, it's sealed boxes all the way

I put the bag in the bread box. It does look nice.
