  My grandma used one. Personally I think the real function was to keep mice from eating your bread, but that hasn’t been a problem for a long time.

      They serve to keep bread at a cool, constant temperature, keep the mice away, and help keep the bread from going stale.

  Same, my mom said I should get one when I moved out but we didn’t even have one at home?? 😭

    She probably is just afraid you will leave the bag open and then eat moldy bread.

      Open bag will just dry out, it’ll get moldy quicker with a sealed bag

      I’d see myself leaving a bread box open faster than the plastic bag the bread comes in tbh

  English here. Anyone I know with a bread box use it in combination with one of the others. I have one, so we’re Bread Box + Twist and Tuck.

  How else to store real bread?
  So not just the sandwich/toast bread, that comes in plastic bags, but real bread, with a crust and in plastic wrap it would lose its crust, but without any protection, it dries out.
  It’s a delicate balance act, where paper and a bread box seem to work best

    I think most people just leave it in the plastic bag, but personally I have a bread bag that breathes so the crust doesn’t become spongey

  My grandma had one. Growing up we just kept our bread & bagels in the microwave.

    Gf does this with baked goods. It’s awful for me because I microwave a lot and don’t always remember to put stuff back and it gets stale.

  They’re pretty common here in Sweden, at least in my experience.
