  English here. Anyone I know with a bread box use it in combination with one of the others. I have one, so we’re Bread Box + Twist and Tuck.

  How else to store real bread?
  So not just the sandwich/toast bread, that comes in plastic bags, but real bread, with a crust and in plastic wrap it would lose its crust, but without any protection, it dries out.
  It’s a delicate balance act, where paper and a bread box seem to work best

    I think most people just leave it in the plastic bag, but personally I have a bread bag that breathes so the crust doesn’t become spongey

  They’re pretty common here in Sweden, at least in my experience.

  My grandma used one. Personally I think the real function was to keep mice from eating your bread, but that hasn’t been a problem for a long time.

      They serve to keep bread at a cool, constant temperature, keep the mice away, and help keep the bread from going stale.

        To be fair, you originally said, “the real reason,” but have just listed three different equal reasons.

  Same, my mom said I should get one when I moved out but we didn’t even have one at home?? 😭

    She probably is just afraid you will leave the bag open and then eat moldy bread.

      Open bag will just dry out, it’ll get moldy quicker with a sealed bag

      I’d see myself leaving a bread box open faster than the plastic bag the bread comes in tbh

  My grandma had one. Growing up we just kept our bread & bagels in the microwave.

    Gf does this with baked goods. It’s awful for me because I microwave a lot and don’t always remember to put stuff back and it gets stale.
