Pro tip: slice and freeze fresh bread and either defrost it over a few hours or just toast it before consumption.
Refrigerated bread gets soggy fast and is not worth the space it takes in the fridge.
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoThis is what we do and have done when I grew up; my parents would go to lidl or aldi and get a loaf of bread per day of the week and yeet it in their big chest freezer, every day (in the evening) they'd take one out to defrost overnight. We do it now as well although our freezer isn't that big. Defrosting it is best done at room temperature, but in a bind can be done in the microwave; it's a very thin line between defrosting it and warming it up (making it soggy and warm and ugh) though.
- segfaultbuserr 6y agoThis is the useful "lifehack" I've been using for a while - just put everything in the freezer. For sliced bread, it just needs a 10-minute cook in the toaster oven, and you'll never worry about bad bread in the fridge again... Food in the fridge still decays and it can be a headache if you left something inside. but food in the freezer has practically an unlimited life - may not be as good after a while, but not dangerous.
- tootie 6y agoI keep my bread in the fridge to prevent sogginess. I just make sure it's in the plastic and clipped shut. My big reason for keeping it in the fridge is because it's dry and sealed.
