Do you put bread in the fridge?

I put my bread in the toaster.
Is that an option?

I used to work at Warburtons and the worst thing you can do is keep bread in the fridge, although I can't remember why :rolleyes:

the link in post #11 explains it, it's not just simple drying out, it's some sort of sub-molecular thingy that's accelerated at fridge temperatures


if refrigeration is the best way to store bread, why don't the supermarkets have it in refrigerated cabinets?

Sorry to go off topic, but, Swan it's the same with eggs.

Some people say that they are best kept in the fridge, but they aren't refrigerated in the shops. I don't keep mine in the fridge.

yes, I do see what you mean

afaik, you're not meant to keep eggs in the fridge, can't remember why though, so you're doing it right ... most people don't, do it right I mean


EDIT ... update, I've just been trying to check the eggs/fridge thing, I've always been told not to refrigerate them, I've been Googling & some sites are recommending keeping them in the fridge, maybe it's changed because of the salmonella scare?

oh I don't know any more :rolleyes: I think you just have to do what you're happy & feel comfortable with

I wrap mine in cling film and keep it in the fridge.

The crusts soften a little - but it does keep noticeably longer than in the breadbin.

This is especially true of breads with a low salt content, I've noticed. Probably because salt is a natural preservative.

(Eggs, always in the fridge; and allow them to reach room temp before using. If I remember )

I make my own bread - 2 loaves from 750gms of flour etc. and lots of seeds, let it cool, then slice and freeze. Toasts brilliantly this way and makes lovely fresh b&b within a short time left out; sandwiches also stay very fresh by the time they're needed.

Would much rather freeze bread than keep it in the fridge...something I don't like about the latter. On the occasions when I am organised I wrap 2 slices at a time in cling film...means that it defrosts really quickly
