Htf does the bottle cap work
you cut the top of a plastic bottle with a knife or any kind of cutter, as you got the top, you got the part that have a screw cap, so, the next you have to do is make the bag go trough the hole, turn back the plastic and the close it with the screw cap.
How do I get my bread through a bottle cap?
There is when the “chaotic” in “chaotic good” kicks in
Thank you random internet strange

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.
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 bestdeleted by creator
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.
that hasn’t been a problem for a long time.
Mice are still a thing, dude.
Houses tend to be built tighter so mice can’t get in as easy as it was when we had old drafty log cabins, dude.
Oh good, then I can tell the ones in my basement my house is built too recently for them.
I saw a dead mouse at work two hours ago. Mouse traps, bait, and poison are still sold in grocery and hardware stores. You are just wrong.
Hmm other things: Traps and poison to keep the population down. Amazing. City ordinances to keep trash levels down and thus mice populations down. Incredible. A refrigerator to keep your bread in. Lasereyes.jpg
It’s not if mice still exist lmao, it’s whether we still need breadboxes to stop them eating our bread. Since you are so insistent on moving the goalposts I’ll leave you to have your last rage comment. Ciao.
Look at this guy, living in a house less than 70 years old.
I’d think most things post WW2 would be pretty good if kept up and neighbors kept up. Probably even older if they went through checking for gaps and air leaks. Neighbors play a role, if there’s a mice outbreak they’ll find more weaknesses.
Also we have fridges now. Yes you might argue to not put bread in the fridge but if mice are eating it you’d probably do it pretty quick.
People are so privileged and they don’t even know it. Every place I have lived I have had to catch mice, and we’re not messy with food and don’t leave stuff out. We don’t kill them either. We just can’t afford to live in some new-ass house or apartment, and we’re above median income.
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.
Bread can’t go stale if the mice keep eating it. There’s an order of operations here.
I don’t know that I agree that breadboxes were solely used in times/cases where the risk of mice getting to the bread was present but I get your reasoning.
As with many things it starts for one reason, then a different benefit comes up, becomes a norm just because, then peters out.
They’re pretty common here in Sweden, at least in my experience.
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.
I’d see myself leaving a bread box open faster than the plastic bag the bread comes in tbh
Open bag will just dry out, it’ll get moldy quicker with a sealed bag
Free healthcare.
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.
I guess I’m lawful evil lol
What in the world is the bottle hack
Cutting off the top of a bottle and jamming the bag through the lid to seal it.
That sounds chaotic evil to me tbh
You cut the head off a bottle so you have the screwy-bit. Then you pull the open end through the bottle-Head and screw the lid on.
Hmmmmmmmmmm microplastics in my bread
Bread that’s in a plastic bag lol
Wouldn’t want to get those inside its plastic bag
TBF those are already in there. They’re in the water supply!
Well for me it’s the twist-tie until I get down to the last few slices then I just spin the bag and fold it back over itself.
Why the twist-tie wasn’t listed is beyond me since I’ve never seen a store that didn’t have them as the majority of closure mechanisms.
Also, bottle hack? I honestly have no idea what that’s about.
I keep my bread in the fridge, and then it doesn’t matter.
I guess it means I’m in Pathfinder universe or somethingThis, keep it in fridge and only tuck.
Quick round in the toaster if needed for the cold bread, or not if it is used to make lunch to bring to work or something.
Freezer bags, 4 slices per bag, in a freezer. That way I can take out only as much bread as I can eat before it gets moldy.
I simply do not allow an open bag of bread to be left unless all the bread have been eaten. Problem solved.
True chaotic evil.
Maybe it depends on climate, but bread left out where I am gets moldy way before it gets stale. The best solution is to keep it in the freezer (in a bag, and any of those methods but CE would probably be fine). Weeks later, the bread is still soft and send fresh. Bread thaws unbelievably fast. If I’m making a sandwich, I take two slices out and put them on a plate separated. Usually by the time I’ve got the other ingredients ready to go, the bread is thawed. If you’re toasting the bread, it can go straight from freezer to toaster. If you’re making sandwiches to take to work or school, you can just make them on the frozen bread.
This is the way. I rarely eat bread that isn’t at least warmed, so the only issue with the frozen bread is the effort it sometimes takes to separate slices.
The box being “good” is wild. That is where bread goes stale unseen and uneaten. Its gotta be near the top of pointless kitchen things that only people with more money then sense have.
A bread box can be good for packing bread or sandwiches that you want to protect from being squished, like when camping for example.
That is not a bread box, more of a travel bread case. I use one for eggs and bread stuff when camping as well. But this… thing is a counter bound thing that is heavy and artsy.
You want to know what bothers me with this chart? What has always bothered me, is it does not mention the twist-tie that comes with the bread when purchased.
Where is it? Where.
P.s. if you say it’s the clip, that is clearly a chip bag clip, meant for chip bags. That clip does not come with the bread bag.
P.s.s. Make the FUCKING TWIST-TIE that comes with the bread true natural. Any deviation from it becomes a different part of the chart. Fuck off rubber band method. Replace the bottle cap method. (Who uses the bottle cap + ring method anyway? That should be in the ‘psychopath waisting energy and justifying it with internet logic’ level of evil category.)
At least where I’m from (Canada), bread comes with a clip holding the bag shut, not a twist tie. “Re-using the clip” means the clip the came with the bag. You can see that it’s a different shape in the picture. This would be the equivalent of re-using the twist tie, if that’s how the bread is packaged where you live.
Step 1: get some real bread
For real. I recently discovered that the bakery at the chain supermarket across the street from me sells giant loaves of sourdough for about a dollar less than even the “budget” brands in the factory-made bread aisle. Not going back.

Step Sigma: Bake your own bread
It’s way easier than you think it is to make a basic loaf of yeast-based, white bread. I had the recipe memorized for a few months while I was first getting into it.
iiffy on amounts but it ain’t many ingredients
Bread Flower
Yeast
Honey (because sugar is boring)
Salt
One Egg
Level 2: Add more honey, slightly less yeast and toss brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg in melted butter in it while rolling.
bonus round: add raisins
Hey, I really appreciate your comment and I hope you have all the fun in the world with the recipes that you like.
But I have to be honest, this is not the bread I’m talking about. I’m really sorry, I don’t want to be your opponent.
I have baked a few breads and sugar or honey is not needed to get the yeast going. That’s a misconception I’ve encountered before, talking to a US-American. What you described sounds lovely, but (for me) it goes into the direction of brioche, milk bread, Hefezopf (yeast braid) and other sweet breads bordering on cake.
Real bread is: flour, water, sourdough, industrial yeast (optional), salt, spices (optional// caraway, fennel, coriander).
The second trigger point: flour.
I’m again sorry to offload this unto you, but I have to speak my piece.
What is bread flour? The nomenclature is meaningless, but that’s the fault of the market. I need to know from a flour, which grain it comes from (wheat, rice, maize, spelt, rye, dinkel) and how much of the rind is still in it (how dark it is or how white). Protein content is a bonus.
Just as a positive send off: I love raisins and sweet breads with raisins (Hefezopf).
Chaotic evil would be rearranging the slices so they don’t work for easy sandwiches.
I tie a knot AND twist and tuck. Where does that leave me?
i have found that just tucking dries the bread just fast enough to not get mouldy, and dry bread can be just rehydrated by wetting it and putting it in an oven for a bit
