A bit lighthearted but I am trying to declutter the kitchen worktops. I currently have a bread bin, on the worktop but I want rid.
If you don't have a bread bin where do you put the bread?

YABU - keep the bread bin on the worktop
YANBU - get rid they went with the ark. Bread is.....

Freezer and bread bin

Anyotherdude · 06/03/2025 12:36

On the sideboard in the dining room, next to the toaster!

Bread bin for what we are currently eating.
Freezer for the rest to be defrosted before the current loaf runs out.

Fridge

We banished the bread bin after we redid the kitchen. It is just in a cupboard. In a bag. It has its own kind of tray. Bread that isn't currently open is in the freezer.

Pantry. Or food room as DS calls it as Pantry sounds too stately home to him 😂

In the dedicated bread drawer in the big larder cupboard. I love it. Bread drawer also houses the potatoes.
Just below is the Baking Drawer (double width) where all the flour sugar cake cases, little bitty pots of stuff etc all live. Glorious.

Hidden away in a cupboard, same as anything else that might be edible.

In the food press with other dried goods.
Don't keep your bread in the fridge!

Bbq1 · 06/03/2025 12:25

In a plastic tupperware box that holds an upright loaf. It sits in the cupboard.

Burntt · 06/03/2025 12:23

I keep mine in the big cooking pot that lives on the hob as no room in the cupboards

I'm not an expert but I was told off by DH's Environmental Health pal for keeping bread in the fridge. Something about the humidity levels causing mould.

Show quote history

How long are you keeping it? We use a loaf in 2-3 days, and keep it in the fridge because we have a very warm kitchen and it goes mouldy if left out.

We have an island with big deep drawers all along - it is in the bottom one of those with the rolls , pitta , wraps etc - why won't my kids just eat one kind of "bread".

Wordau · 06/03/2025 10:33

In our breadbin. I don't love it but couldn't cope with the crumbs in our (already overflowing) cupboards

GingerLiberalFeminist · 06/03/2025 10:31

We have a small kitchen and limited counter tops so I have a "bready things cupboard" (😂) in which I keep cereal, bread, wraps, pittas, brioche and DH's hot cross buns. I broadly don't eat these things anyway!
My GF bread is in the freezer.
My mum keeps bread in the fridge 😵

macaroniandcheeze · 06/03/2025 10:30

I got sick of the bread bin taking up space too. I still keep bread in the bread bin, but the bin lives in the cupboard with breakfast cereal and other bread items eg crumpets

Yoyokitten · 06/03/2025 10:29

Always in the freezer.
The fridge causes moisture and then mould.

AnotherHappyCamper · 06/03/2025 10:29

I keep mine in a cupboard.

BlumminFreezin · 06/03/2025 10:29

Sitting on top of the empty, unused bread bin of course.

AnnaQuayInTheUk · 06/03/2025 10:27

Our bread bin is in the larder. Which means the loaf invariably just sits on the worktop as no one can be bothered to put it in the bread bin

jay55 · 06/03/2025 10:25

On top the toaster.

BrillantBriony · 06/03/2025 10:08

We just brought a new bread ceramic bread bin and I love it we keep it on the peninsula.

BethBynnag86 · 06/03/2025 10:07

In a large ceramic dish perched on top of the toaster.

jellyfishperiwinkle · 06/03/2025 09:45

Couldn't manage without a bread bin.

whatnooow · 06/03/2025 09:44

On my arse and hips
