where do you keep your bread? NBR

ChristineRich06 · August 2012

My mom keeps bread in a drawer below the silverware. My BFF keeps hers in her microwave!?!? I brought a loaf of bread to the new house today and realized there is no obvious place to put it. Where do you keep yours? Also the cabinets & shelves in the pantry are not tall enough to fit a box of cereal...any ideas?

Somewhere buried in our moving boxes is our bread box. For now, the loaf is sitting on the counter.

For your cereal, I'd get containers with the sealable pour spout for them that fit in the cabinet and use those.

We keep ours in the fridge.

We go through bread quickly so it just sits on top the microwave classy

before when it took longer to go through a loaf we also kept it in the fridge. We use the clear plastic containers with a pour spout for cereal too

Bread is in a basket on top of the fridge, along with Tupperware type containers with cereal. Not the best looking, but it works.

On the counter or in the tall cabinet - when I just moved out I had it under the silverwear-drawer.

Both bread and cereal boxes are on top of my fridge.

Bread and cereal are in the pantry. I never put bread in the frig because it gets stale faster. The starch molecules crystallize causing the bread to go bad. (I actually remembered something from chem class)

We keep our bread in our dish drainer on the cabinet. We have a dishwasher, so it's not really ever used for dishes... Cereal on it's side in the cabinet.

We go through it really slowly so it stays in the fridge along with bagels, tortillas, and flour. The bread will stay fresh for a least a month or more than way. We pour our cereal into the pour spot thingys too. Ours are from Ikea and work well.

Yep! Except sometimes I have so much cereal, that bread gets moved to on top of the microwave, in this bowl we have on there. I always wanted a breadbox, though.

Our bread is in the fridge...crystallizing particles bedamned - we seem to go through it quickly enough that it doesn't go bad before we eat it. Also, in first grade we did a bread mold experiment, and I remember that the quickest molding was the piece of bread that was in a breadbox!

As to cereal, we just moved & had the same problem. Our cereal is now on the side in the cabinet and it's been working fine. If you're like us, there are too many other things to spend $ on than cereal containers in a new-to you house!

This.

Actually, my Mom used to put our bread in the microwave. It was an easy place to stash it!

We keep ours in a bread box on the counter. Its a nifty one from the 60's I found at a yard sale.

As for cereal, we lay it down so you see the top of the box or we take it out of the box and just keep it in the bag and just use a clothes pin to keep it shut. Since it clear, you can always see what it is.

We keep our bread in a breadbox on the counter. I've never even thought about keeping it in the fridge, hmm.

Our pantry shelves are tall enough to fit the cereal boxes standing up. I would try placing them on their side in the pantry.

On the counter. Turn the cereal boxes to the side or buy a container.

All of this

We keep the bread and cereal in the pantry.

We keep it in the fridge. MH grew up with keeping it out on the counter or in the microwave, too.

Cereal & bread on top of the fridge. If the fridge is too full, the bread gets bumped to the top of the microwave.

This is where our cereal is, too

Theres a loaf of bread on the kitchen counter and a loaf in the fridge.

Bread is on top of the fridge. Cereal is not as popular so it's in the pantry. Since B's gotten bigger we do keep a tupperware full of Cheerios on the counter for quick access for snacks or to grab when we're on the go.
