Fresh Bread bags?

  • I use the bags from the (occasional) shop-bought loaf until they fall apart, then any old bag I've just emptied from the freezer (except those that have had meat in which get binned).

    Here's another fan of the Lakeland cloth bags! I have two, as I make at least one loaf a day - gannets in my house, lol!

    Thanks for this thread, I've been trying to make a decision on HM bread storage and am still undecided!

    I don't really like using plastic bags where I could use a reusable container. I bought a large tupperware-type box for bread, but it seems to have a nasty chemical smell to it and I don't dare put anything edible in it...
    My TV is broken! :cry:
    Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j

    Is this the cloth bags?
    Have you viewed the See all reviews at the bottom, there are quite a lot of positive reviews.

    Thanks...I don't now how I could only see the top few!

    I've got the lock n lock bread box as recommended on here. It works very well.

    Invariably some bread seems to go mouldy! I use the insides of large cereal packets as far as I can. I bought (shock horror) a large pack of large plastic bags from Lakeland a long time ago, as they were the only ones I could find big enough, to use when I had run out of cereal bags.

    Got some iffy bread, so going to make some stuffing balls today I think.


    Well I made the stuffing into two tubs, figuring it would take less room in tubs. DS turned up before the lids went on and decided it needed testing. He said it was delicious!

    Also used up the wraps with holes in them where dd had tried to prise them apart (patched the holes and made the Quesedillas from Economy Gastronomy book -again!). Had thought of making them into crumbs, but thought I should think of a meal. This needed a second pack, so that made another space in the freezer. Got 3 mini packs of bacon out for making Beef cass tomorrow. Got 2 packs of cooked cannellini beans out for the quesedillas.

    Put IN, 4lbs stewed apple!
