Do you have bread in the fridge?

[Cheetah]

Simple question really.

I used to have a problem of not being able to finish a bread in time before it started to get mold on it.

So I had considered to divide the bread in half and put one half in the freezer until I finished the first half, and then defrosting the other half afterwards.

But then I figured that I could just put the entire bread in the fridge!

It's a bit cold in the beginning of course, but now it lasts long enough and I don't need to wait for the bread to get defrosted if I run out of bread.

But I've never heard of having bread in the fridge before.

 

[PlutonianEmpire]

Yes. I have bread in my fridge, where I live.

But my folks don't.

 

[Loppan Torkel]

I have, for the last few years and for the same reasons as you, but I also think it stays fresher than defrosted bread.

 

[bombshoo]

Whenever I worry about finishing bread, I just turn it into croutons or breadcrumbs...Or even better, into bread pudding, which I cover in a bourbon whiskey-cream sauce

 

[Zelig]

Yes, in the fridge, I put it in the toaster to warm it up.

 

[MjM]

If it's white or wheat, in the fridge. Sourdough stays in the cupboard.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Since I'm the only one eating it, yes. If it were being eaten faster, then no.

 

[Eat_Up_Martha]

Sometimes store bread in the freezer, but if it's ready to eat it's out on the counter. It usually gets eaten up in time.

bread lasts all of a day here before it gets hard and mouldy. tropics4lyfe.

Since I live in a household with 7 other people, it's usually one loaf in the cabinent, and two or three in the fridge.

 

[Cutlass]

In the fridge. A loaf lasts me a week or so. So the fridge keeps it fresher.

 

[Smellincoffee]

No; cold bread sounds hideous to me. I've never had a problem finishing a loaf before it goes bad, but I tend to have a sandwich a day. I don't put condiments like ketchup and mustard in the fridge, either.

Buy just a half then, that's what I do.

In summer there's no other way keep bread good for long enough.

 

[Antilogic]

I tend to eat at least one sandwich per day, so my bread consumption rate is high enough to tear through a loaf before it goes moldy. My fridge space is limited, and is required for other provisions (I have two mini-fridges, none are full-sized).

 

[Loppan Torkel]

One sandwich per day takes you through a loaf - in what time? I usually eats three pieces at home and two at work, and I need to keep it in the fridge to not get it moldy.

I'm guessing there are 20 slices on a loaf, so I probably eat the loaf within 8-10 days. Haven't really calculated it out.

Bread in the fridge?

Who puts bread in the fridge?!

 

[BvBPL]

Many bread products, like bagels, will become stale when kept in the fridge. In fact, I bet most breads will become stale faster in the fridge than on the outside. I think there's a balance to be reached between keeping the bread fresh (ie not stale) and not getting mold.

But, yeah, we sometimes keep it in the fridge. Depends on the bread.

 

[Bugfatty300]

Never kept bread in the fridge. In fact I unplugged mine a few weeks ago when I saw that all I had in there was some tomatoes and some soda. Everything I buy gets eaten that day or the next so I don't see a reason to keep it running.
