A bread box is designed for the purpose of keeping bread fresh while helping to maintain uncluttered kitchen surfaces. Typically, bread boxes are very tightly sealed. When they work as intended, they trap moisture and prevent bread from becoming stale too quickly. They can also be helpful in keeping bread and other baked goods safe from pests, such as mice.<BR/><BR/>Often, individuals choose to store bread in refrigerators, thinking that keeping it cold will lock in moisture and prevent it from going stale. Unfortunately, the opposite often occurs and bread stored in the refrigerator may begin going stale after just one day. This is due to the fact that moisture loss doesn't really cause bread to go stale. Staleness is caused by retrogradation, a process by which starch molecules crystallize. Retrogradation occurs much faster in the cold temperatures of normal refrigeration, making the refrigerator a poor choice for storing bread. <BR/><BR/>Instead of refrigerating bread to keep it fresh, it is best to store it at room temperature in a container designed to retain moisture, such as a bread box. There are many types of bread boxes on the market, allowing consumers to find models that fit just about any kitchen decor and personal style preference. There are bread box models made of wood, acrylic, ceramic, enamel, stoneware and stainless steel. Bread boxes come with many different types of lids as well, including hinged, roll-top, handled, lift-off and drop-down versions. Consumers can even find bread boxes with handy attachments, such as pull-out bread boardsnannykimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09904490730187017812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6440197089354350362.post-48309330985063208932008-12-04T18:14:00.000-08:002008-12-04T18:14:00.000-08:00It looks like an enormously fun place to visit. I ...It looks like an enormously fun place to visit. I have always wondered about bread boxes. Were they made in the old days to keep bugs and mice out? Or did it actually help to keep it fresh/ or was it simply something to put the bread out of sight. If you know the answer please tell me!! May be I should google it.nannykimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09904490730187017812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6440197089354350362.post-7525063835546166332008-12-04T16:22:00.000-08:002008-12-04T16:22:00.000-08:00What great goodies I see!
