Finding the right bread bin for your needs

Whether you prefer artisan bread from the bakery or homemade and hot from the oven, the right bread bin can store your bread in optimal conditions to keep it fresh and safe to eat for longer. Bread bins are a great alternative to keeping your loaves of bread in a plastic bread bag as it prevents them from drying out and growing stale.

Roll top bread bins, cutting board lids and more - types of bread bins to choose from

Bread bins come with different lid designs that will determine how easily you can access your bread. The most popular types include:

• Roll top bread bin - This type of lid slides up into the roof of the bin, making them a good option for kitchens with limited space.

• Flip bread bins - Flip bread bin lids use a hinge mechanism that enables them to flip outwards to open. These bins require more space on the counter to open and close.

• Bread bins with removable lids - These bread bins have a lid that can be taken on and off. The Typhoon Living Bread Bin is a great example. There are also multi-purpose bread bins with a cutting board lid that feature a chopping board with handles for easy slicing, such as the Salt & Pepper Hudson Bread Bin Black with Cutting Board Lid and Bread Knife for an all-in-one bread storage solution.

FAQs:

Do bread bins keep bread fresh?
A bread bin is a handy kitchen storage solution that provides the ideal environment for keeping your bread fresher for longer. It stores the bread in a dry and dark place where the humidity is just the right temperature for preventing mould from forming. Many bread boxes also come with ventilation holes which allows a small amount of oxygen inside to prevent excess moisture from building up and causing mould.

How long does bread last in a bread bin?
The length of time that your bread stays fresh depends on a number of factors, including the type of bread bin you choose, the environment and the type of bread. A quality bread bin, such as our ones by leading brands like Avanti and Brabantia, should keep your bread fresh for up to one week.
