Toast bread is a must-have food on everyone's dining table. Annie Campbell, a contributor to food website All Recipes, said toast bread is a staple food you will definitely use, but sometimes due to incorrect storage, it is found that bacteria have destroyed it first.
Whether the bread changes in quality depends entirely on the place where it is stored. Some people insist that they should keep the bread in the bread storage box, some say that it is good to put it on the kitchen table, and some say that it is best to hide the bread next to the eggs in the refrigerator. Let’s talk about the best method?
All Recipes consulted Wonder Bread, a bread manufacturer that is almost one of the pronouns of toast, hoping to find the best way to extend the time of saving sliced toast.
Wonder Bread experienced baking expert Haley Benson pointed out that sliced white bread is prone to bacteria because it contains a lot of water; therefore, allowing fresh bread to block the outside air (where bacteria spores exist), heat and moisture are the keys to keep the bread from mold.
Banson said the best way to extend the shelf life of toast bread is to place it in a cool, dry place, such as a bread box or a food pantry, and make sure the bag is completely sealed. Why is
Bread Box the Best Choice? Benson explained that the dark and dry environment of the bread box can ensure the freshness of the bread; with the bread box, there will be no risk of increasing moisture or scattering on the kitchen surface. Therefore, while food pantry may be a safe option, the bread box has an extra layer of protection from air, moisture and heat.
Banson said that if you buy Wonder Bread products, you do not need to put them in a zipper bag or a closed container when storing the toast bread, because the packaging bag is designed to ensure that the product can be sealed and maintain the highest quality and freshness during the shelf life, so there is no need to switch to different bags.
Banson also said that from the perspective of preserving the flavor, it is not recommended to use a refrigerator because the refrigerator will cause the bread to lose moisture and dry faster; but from the perspective of safety, there is no risk in refrigeration, and it is purely a consideration of quality.
Although refrigeration is not recommended, if you cannot finish it within seven days, refrigeration is also a good choice to extend the shelf life of the bread. In fact, as long as it is stored in a closed container, the bread can be chilled in the refrigerator for several months without degrading the quality. Just uncook or bake the bread before being ready to eat, and it will immediately restore the original taste of the sauna. However, Benson reminded that after the stool is relieved, don’t let the stool be cold.
