Comments on: Bread: Buy It, Store It, Keep It Fresh Without Plastic http://myplasticfreelife.com/2010/02/bread-buy-it-store-it-keep-it-fresh-without-plastic/ Think we can't live without plastic? Think again. In 2007 I committed to stop buying any new plastic & I've almost succeeded! Won't you join me? Let's see what plastic-free looks like in 2012... for the health of our bodies, our oceans, our planet. ~Beth Terry Sun, 19 May 2013 23:22:34 +0000 hourly 1 By: Karianne http://myplasticfreelife.com/2010/02/bread-buy-it-store-it-keep-it-fresh-without-plastic/comment-page-1/#comment-45291 Karianne Sat, 23 Feb 2013 19:37:26 +0000 http://fakeplasticfish.com/?p=1678#comment-45291 Pillow cases can be used as bread bags too :) Put the bread into the pillow case and wrap a soft elastic band around it.

What I do is buy a loaf of bread from the bakery or farmers market (especially if it’s the end of the day and they’re half off!) take it home and slice it in half. Half, I put in the freezer wrapped in foil-the other half, we keep in a bag (I did re-use plastic ones, but that won’t be the case anymore!) and slice as needed. When we finish that one, I take the frozen loaf out and just let it defrost on the counter and it’s great!

Now I have perfected the sandwich load and I don’t see why I can’t store it in the non-stick metal Pullman pan which has a lid on it. It would be nice to not have to buy a bunch of stuff, but I do not think it is air tight.

They’d be much more succinct… and funny. Thanks for the laugh today. I needed it.

Is there an update?
Do boxes keep bugs out? I fear the weevil.

We do re-use the plastic bags we get storebought bread in. But I’ve been storing my homemade bread in plastic bags that I bought at King Arthur flour, not realizing there were alternatives. I’m going to make some cloth bread bags and see what we can scrounge up for a tin. Also appreciate the reminder to use aluminum foil to freeze loaves.

I’m currently collecting plastic bread tags for a upcycle craft project. If you’re interested in sending them my way instead of the landfills, email me at thoeyngo@gmail.com

Thank you!

I slice pieces individually with my electric slicer into various sizes . When done I put bread back into cellophane bag then into a plastic after ridding any air after which I put it in my microwave oven for storage , thats as well is semi- air tight , It works , cost and taste is better .
