What did your parents refrigerate? Mine refrigerated bread.

Refrigerating bread slows down mold growth…

This increasing the shelf life.

You don’t have to refrigerate bread. But you can with clear reason.

My parents didn’t just refrigerate bread. They stuck excess bread in the fucking freezer.

Edit: guess I’ve been sleeping on the freezer bread thing. Y’all seem pretty sold on the concept.

It’s much better than putting it into the fridge

That works well for toast that you only ever plan to eat toasted.

My parents didn’t just refrigerate bread. They stuck excess bread in the fucking freezer.

My parents did that too, and they’re the reason why I don’t do that, because I grew up despising thawed bread.

I’m kinda intimidated by this whole thread. I’m scared to mention that I really hate thawed bread (I tried room temp, microwave, oven and toaster). (I even tried different freezers.) If I buy bread, then it’s either the very smallest amount at the bakery when I really feel like good bread, or just a bun, or supermarket bread with preservatives. But mostly I just live a bread free life.

Clearance rack bread.

I used to live in the tropics.

This is standard. Half the bread goes in the freezer immediately.

When you finish the first half, move the frozen bread into the fridge.

Refrigerated bread is good once you get used to it.

Juuust skip that fridge step. Take slices out the freezer when you wake up. Slices thaw by the time your morning ritual is done and you’re ready for brekky. If toasting anyways, don’t even really need to wait for thaw. No stale fridge taste you need to get used to.

This thread kills me, so many people eating stale-ass bread. :c

Even if you don’t want cold bread, you shouldn’t skip the fridge step. The slower the thawing process, the better the bread.

Maybe it’s just me, but fridge bread doesn’t taste stale. The cold bread tastes more like a desert than room temperature bread.

When I bake bread I usually freeze half but thaw it when I need it because fresh bread goes bad fast.

The freezer does keep bread fresher longer (as long as you aren’t storing it in a self defrosting freezer long enough to get freezer burn). It literally freezes the staling process. And fridging bread actually accelerates staling. Something to do with water molecules getting squeezed out of starch molecules or something; I don’t remember the details.

I love hitting these threads a few hours late

“The sickos were FREEZING bread! UPDATE: I have since seen the error of my ways and apologized to my parents and thrown all bread I own into the freezer, and discarded any notion of leaving bread out”

Been freezing bread for years as I don’t eat it fast enough.

Quick 30s zap in the microwave and it’s warm and soft and ready for sandwiches

Peanut butter does NOT go in the fridge. 🤬

Yeah because you should refrigerate bread
