(102,283 posts)As long as it is used up in 4 days or so (not really an issue), it stays very fresh.

any bread that gets left out, gets gnawed on by a "bread-eating" cat \
he also loves to eat purse handles and shoe straps

(32,979 posts)carb-kitty and dog will share bread if they can get it. the microwave acts like a breadbox, when i use the microwave, i remove the bread, then replace it after the MW cools a bit.

(15,220 posts)This setup works for my household, too! But it's a pain to have to take things OUT of the microwave when you want to use the microwave.

(30,947 posts)At the time I had rats (though they have since been exterminated), I was wondering where all my bread was going. Finally, until I got rid of the critters, I put it in the microwave. They could eat through a lot of things, but not the microwave door. I do not like refrigerated bread and I discovered that it stayed fresh in the microwave.

(21,884 posts)I find it tastes stale when you refrigerate it. But I usually toast it anyway.
Curmudgeoness
(18,219 posts)I live alone, and any place else, it would be stale before I finish it. I find that it is as good as fresh bought when I take it out of the freezer and thaw in the microwave for (depending on the kind of bread) about 30 seconds. Or if I think about it in time, it thaws quickly in a plastic bag on the counter.

(4,033 posts)but my Mom lives with me & she puts it in the fridge. I hate cold bread, and putting it in the toaster doesn't do anything to get it to it's original texture. I go with bagels or english muffins & I don't eat sandwiches, now.

(18,183 posts)Which is a long loaf shaped plastic container . I live alone and don't eat a lot of bread and the doo dad keeps it fresh longer--less waste . I freeze any bread I have extra.

(16,862 posts)Otherwise one of the cats has figured out how to pull the loaf out, rip open the bag, and eat the corners off 4 or 5 slices.
Damn ingenious cat.
