It does take a lot less place, granted I have never owned a bread box, so I can't relate to the mild struggles.

That's why we call every loaf of bread we buy "Wonder Bread," because we're always wondering where the hell the kids left it after taking some slices.

u/TehTugboat 6h ago

I have a breadbox like this one, except the handle is a little apple shaped knob. My cat figured out it can open the breadbox and ate an entire loaf of bread one time. I was pissed. How’d they figure that shit out?

25

u/Deltethnia 5h ago

Some cats are like little velociraptors in that regard. Clever girls (or boys). Mine is currently working on how to open a round door knob. If they were levered knobs she'd be opening them already.

u/Ok_Refrigerator6671 3h ago

One of our raptors figured out how to open an ikea cabinet where the doors close flush a few days ago by putting his little toe beans into the crack between the doors and pulling from the side. It's where we keep laundry soaps and cleaning products though, so now it has a chunk of tape across it while we wait for a magnetic latch to get delivered. I caught him trying to pull the tape off last night because he has already figured out that is what's keeping him out. Very clever boy.

Our other 2 will absolutely find and eat/steal bags of bread, so we had to move all of ours to nearly the top shelf of the pantry. It's still not enough sometimes. Smart enough to figure out doors & culinary theft, but somehow all 3 are not smart enough to know eating the plastic the bread comes in is bad for them.

I got child safety locks for one of my cabinets, the kind that looks like a latch and you press a button to release it. He just tore the whole thing off. Apparently my cat is stronger than a 3 year old.

It's supposed to go stale faster in fridge, but it does slow mold. Guess it depends on your environment and priorities ...or maybe big bread conspiracy!

u/spacegirl3 6h ago

Mine doesn't go stale at all, and I live alone and can sometimes take a couple weeks to go through a loaf. The coldness makes it a little firmer straight out of the fridge, but it softens back up by the time I'm actually eating the sandwich.

I dont have a pantry but I do have dogs that have, in the past, stolen whole loaves of bread from the counter. I don't always have room in the fridge or freezer, so bread and tortillas go in a bread box. One nice thing about the bread box is that you can have stuff on top of it, which you can't do with bread.

I actually like OP's girlfriend's solution because it looks like having it sideways may actually give it more flat surface to use on top.

Bread boxes are nice when you bake your own bread to put whole loafs. Like you kinda "cure" the loaf and after a day it feels more like store bought sandwich bread.
I wouldnt put something in there I wanted to stay crusty. Also. Its nice for when you slice two pieces off a loaf. The other bread in there keeps the sliced end from being overly dried out. Because its sorta like a humidor but for loafs of bread :)

I like it sideways it’s like a little phone booth for the bread.

This is super smart IMO - especially if counter surface is limited!

Breadbox on the end makes good sense for: 1) space saving, and 2) keeping the bread fresher - if it's not pre-sliced bread it will keep better if you put the sliced end down and only crust exposed, maybe true even if pre-sliced.

I think your GF is marriage material, you should go ring shoppng this afternoon.

The random toilet paper roll in the kitchen makes me feel better about our many random toilet paper rolls around the house. Who can afford actual Kleenex these days?

Considering that corner..... she is correct.

As others stated it does take up less space, but if you’re storing a delicate, sliced bread inside like a milk bread or a sliced brioche, storing it vertically will easily collapse the soft interior of the bread and result in more compact slices. There’s a reason stores stock most breads horizontally.

I don’t eat bread fast enough to justify a bread box, but I think your girlfriend is onto something here. You might as well leave her if this is mildly infuriating to you.

Wouldn't not eating bread fast enough be the justification for a bread box

Using toilet roll instead of kitchen roll is more infuriating

It's better. Takes up less counter space.

Maybe you have limited counter space? If I needed to do all that though, I would get rid of the whole thing. My problem isnt the upright position, my problem would be that it won't close all the way. However, I can't stand open tabs on my phone either, this could just be a me problem🤣🤣

More usable space. And probably because it’s one of the most useless things in your kitchen. At least she’s making the best out of it.

The thing that's mildly infuriating is your inability to adapt and embrace this monumental breakthrough in bread storage habits.
