About 2 months ago I started keeping it in the fridge and it's been as soft as the day I bought it. I make sure it's sealed tightly, so no air gets in. Maybe people have been doing this for years, but I never heard of it, so I thought I'd share. No more taking out a hammer to pulverize the cement-like consistency.

Been doing that for as long as I can remember

Why didn't you tell me that when I signed up? :p. I've never ever heard anyone mention this before.

Yeah never know where and when such valuable info arrives ... ex: based on preachings of Sheldon Cooper, I just recently stopped putting bread in the fridge ...

Oh? Please say more :). We keep our bread in the fridge in summer as otherwise it goes bad really quick. I am not talking about white bread that is full of preservative but rather freshly baked bread. What makes it bad?

I'll let Sheldon explain ...

Proof that science is wrong sometimes :D The fridge keeps the mildew away. It is true that they will then be stale but there is a superb solution to that: toaster oven. It will come out as if it is just baked! Even two week old bread will be nearly as good as the day you bought it.

Exactly what I use mine for every morning. Best toast .

Sheldon's crusty nature cracks me up ...



Some audiophile somewhere probably thinks cryo'd bread taste even better.:p
Does this mean the starch in a cable can be colored to the blue/green side side of the audio spectrum ;)

Amir, the other thing that we have in our kitchen that is also wonderful is a warmer under our oven. Takes a little longer but it is magnificent
That's a novel use of the warming drawer. We decided against getting one as we didn't see the value of warming the platters at the expense of extra storage.

It sits under my microwave. Not much space. We use it a lot
