- pilsetnieks 7y agoBecause air is much dryer inside a fridge. I still put my bread in a fridge (unless it's something that's really intended to be consumed soon) because I prefer stale to mold.

- likpok 7y agoDrying is only part of staling. You can seal bread airtight and it will still go stale faster in the fridge.

- likpok 7y agoA big part of staling is the recrystallization of starch, which happens faster at cold-but-not-freezing temperatures. https://www.seriouseats.com/2014/06/does-refrigeration-really-ruin-bread.html https://www.seriouseats.com/2014/06/does-refrigeration-reall...
