Bread storage: Rubbermaid Freshworks vegetable keeper?
I’ve been looking for ways to store bread and it seems there is no definitive method. Enclosing it plastic is a Bozo no-no as it traps moisture. I was wondering if a vegetable keeper would be good as they have a controlled ventilation. I’m trying an old one I’ve had, and see that the new Freshworks design should be pretty good with a membrane vent.
any thoughts?

Cut side down on the cutting board works great. I haven't found any other way to store fresh bread that works nearly as well. Ir you want to pre-slice, lay the slices on a sheet pan and freeze them, bag them, and take them out as you use them.
Yes - I have seen and tried that method, but it seems a bit crude. These “ventilated” containers would seem to offer some protection for the bread as well as not retaining any moisture. And for a quick-n-dirty way to keep one loaf you are eating, standing it on end would be ok - but not very scaleable. Can you see 3 or 4 loaves standing around on your counter?
My uncut loaves go into the pantry in a brown paper bag until I am ready to cut into them.
That’s what I do, as well.
