Which wooden breadbox to choose?
We are paying more and more attention to ecology, and this also applies to the articles used in our homes. A good example is the choice of a wooden breadbox for the kitchen. When it comes to bread containers, it is definitely worth opting for articles made of wood. They are made of materials approved for storing food, so we can be sure that the bread will not change its taste. Moreover, they contribute to the freshness of the stored products, and due to their resistance to mechanical factors, they are a durable addition to any kitchen. It is worth mentioning that such a breadbox made of wood, has the advantage over products made of metal or plastic, that it introduces a cosy accent to the interior.

Most bread storage accessories come in the form of a reclining "cabinet" that opens from the bottom up, allowing you to conveniently pull out rolls or bread. We can also easily purchase other variants of containers, for example with a wooden lid that opens in a similar way to a box. The lid can also be used as a small cutting board - a perfect solution for small kitchens where every centimetre of free space counts. It is also worth mentioning products with a drawer that collects bread crumbs. A serrated knife can also be placed inside to cut up stored bakery products.
Where to keep bread in a modern kitchen?
In any kitchen, even those with a modern style, wooden breadboards will work perfectly. It is worth leaning towards products made of bamboo plastic. This material is widely used, as it is obtained from plants with a very fast growth rate, and the containers created in this way have an original design. We can see clear discolouration on them, making the articles an interesting interior element. In addition, they limit the growth of mould and are therefore a must have in every home.
How do I store bread properly in a wooden bread bin?
A breadbox made of wood is a very useful product in any home, but it is worth paying attention to the proper storage of baked goods in it. For dry products, for example bread, rolls, croissants or challah, it is a good idea to wrap them in a clean cotton cloth, which will further reduce the drying out of the products. You can store shortcrust pastries comfortably in such containers - it is a good idea to leave them in the paper and additionally place a tray underneath so that the container does not become stained with greasy stains.
If you are looking for a good container made of wood, we recommend the items available in the Mondex online shop. We offer the classic models described above, as well as products that resemble a neat and stylish box with the word 'Bread'.
