Does anyone still have a bread box? I assume it’s to stop rodents, but hopefully most people don’t have rodents in their house. Does a bread box do anything else, or is that another technology that can fade into history?
Well first of all, normal bread isn’t supposed to last 3 days. You can only achieve that by sorcery, or what we call chemicals. Another thing is that in some countries bread comes in those single-use plastic bags, which makes it last longer.
I have one! I love it, it’s got a magnetic door my cat can’t open is one of my best purchases ever. I use it for baked goods, though, not bread. It’s too humid where I am to keep bread fresh at room temperature.
Never thought of that - I usually put baked goods in the microwave to keep them sort of fresh. Is it big enough for a 9”x12” baking pan? Tall enough for a layer cake?
Mine is not, it has two shelves which would each fit a 9*5 loaf pan with a little room on each end. Or like four cereal bowls of cookies. They do make bigger ones, but I imagine a microwave probably works just as well for something that gets eaten quickly.

Edit: TIL;
I bought bread box once but every time we used it the bread wouldn’t last 3 days. Can anyone explain why that was?

So what you experienced is actually normal.
Really I am supposed to use whole loaf of bread in 3 days?
No, you’re supposed to buy a loaf, use 1/3 of it before it goes bad, throw away the rest, and buy another loaf.
That’s fuck up.
That’s how it works
I have a bread box…which I generally don’t keep my bread in

I use one to protect my bread products from pets.
