My mother bought me this for Christmas, not knowing I'd been planning to purchase it for myself after Christmas. Up until then I had been using milk bags to bag my bread out of my breadmaker. This works quite well, keeps the bread moist even in dry dry winter weather if you set it to closed. We've washed it several times in the dishwasher and it's held up nicely (top rack only, of course). Another container we got for bread warped the first time we put it in the dishwasher so I was very worried until I got it out. It's simple, works and pretty cheap, so I'd recommend it for anyone who needs to store homemade bread.

I have been on a homemade bread kick lately and need someplace to store my creations. This breadkeeper is wonderful. The adjustable vents allow you to store bread that hasn't completely cooled without building up condensation or to store baguette so it won't lose its crust. We've found that homemade bread can keep for 6-7 days with no problem. I have bought 2 others for gifts. Highly recommended.

I've been using this bread box for about a month now. Definately keeps my homemade breads fresher, longer. Perfect for 1 lb loaves. I put the bread board in the dishwasher and it melted a bit, my fault for not washing it by hand. Other than that, I'm quite pleased.

The bread Keeper holds the bread quite well with adjustable side vent to control the moisture content of the bread. My first use i kept the vent open overnight and next day the bread was dry & tough. I adjusted it accordingly and the bread was fine after that.
I like the clear plastic that you can see what is inside the keeper unlike traditional wooden or aluminum bread keepers. "Out of mind, out of sight". The only improvement I would make is if the bread keeper was a bit longer to keep longer breads within it.

Pros: clear see-thru
Vented to control moisture

Cons: none yet

I love it. Keeps homemade bread fresh until the end of the loaf. Should have bought the slicer too - anyway love it

I have wanted this bread keeper for quite a while. It is perfect! It fits even the fluffiest loaf and the venting is handy when storing bread that is still warm. The best part is that there are no more plastic bags!! Yay!!

I have a fairly dry apartment, so I have the knob set to cover the holes. The home made bread is still fresh and tasty days after the first cut. Much better than putting the bread in bags. If you have your own cutting board/tray I would use that. The included one works fine for keeping the bread on in the container, and does allow cutting, but the crumbs go everywhere so I take the bread out and cut it on my big butcher block which makes cleanup much easier.

This bread keeper is very good! It looks great on the counter, and the humidity controls work very well at keeping the bread as long as possible. The cutting board, though, is too small to catch crumbs one gets when slicing the bread. Mind you, it makes getting the loaf of bread in or out of the bread keeper easier. Larger (wider or circular) loaves of bread won't fit into the keeper. It seems this keeper is meant for "regular" loaves of bread and those made in bread machines. All in all, this is an inexpensive, good-looking, and functional bread keeper that I'm glad I bought.

I was very excited to order this but when I received it I was disappointed. The container is made of two parts. One side is for storing the bread and the other half slides in and closes the whole thing. This design is awkward to store bread. A 1.5 lb loaf does not fit on the one half. Then when you slide it open, the bread falls out. Opening is awkward, you have to slide the other half out and the bread is falling out. So I have to pile the bread on top of each other or turn the container upside down to prevent the bread from falling out. I might as well just simply use a plastic bag!

The bread doesn't dry out, which was my biggest issue with storing homemade bread in a plastic bag. I love it, it fits my 2 lbs tall bread from my breadmachine and it's pretty on the counter. Highly recommended.
