Bread absolutely lasts longer when refrigerated

[–] set_secret 5 points 1 day ago (5 children)

[–] PrincessTardigrade 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I put bread in the freezer because ot goes moldy fast in this climate

[–] naught101 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

This. I'm in subtropical Australia. Bread goes on the bench in winter and in the fridge in summer (or in the freezer if I have too much).

I'm in a house of 3, and and in summer we get through about half a loaf before the rest goes mouldy. Less if it's been really wet.

Wait you guys don't refrigerate your bread?

[–] recapitated 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I do... I'm not a huge bread eater, it can go a couple weeks in the fridge without getting moldy where I live.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Hmm. I do, but that was mostly because I would make sandwiches for lunch at work and wanted to help the lunch meat stay cold until it got to the fridge at work. Now I'm mostly work from home...hmm. I likely eat a loaf quickly enough that it wouldn't go bad.

Refrigerating bread slows down mold growth...

This increasing the shelf life.

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

It also makes it go stale really quickly. You should never refrigerate bread.

Freeze it or keep it in the cupboard.

Putting boiling water in the freezer is so useful, like you can cook it once and freeze it, then get it out when you need it and just reheat it a little.

True space saving pros dehydrate their water for ultra-compact storage.

Try living with a French room mate and find out what doesn't go in the fridge. Hint: everything.

Yeah because you should refrigerate bread

[–] set_secret 9 points 1 day ago

Keeping bread in the fridge is generally considered unwise because it accelerates the staling process. This occurs due to the process of retrogradation, where the starches in the bread crystallise more quickly at cooler temperatures. As a result, bread becomes dry and loses its freshness faster compared to being stored at room temperature. For optimal freshness, it's better to store bread in a cool, dry place or freeze it if long-term storage is needed.

I'm the first generation that decided to keep bread in fridge. My parents used wooden box.

Someone I lived with temporarily kept the processed parmesan cheese (the dusty stuff in a jar) in the cupboard instead of the fridge. It baffled me.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

That's fine! Until you open it at least.

I live in a humid climate (especially in the summer), and if we don't refrigerate our bread and tortillas, or any baked goods, they get moldy in like 4 days.

Well... a lot but we live in the desert so peanutbutter isn't shelf stable otherwise

[–] [email protected] 62 points 2 days ago (7 children)

Bread outside the fridge spoils fast. Bread in the fridge lasts longer but is less fluffy. In this household we refrigerate our bread and then toast it lightly if we're going to eat it straight. Most of the sandwiches I make are toasted anyway.

Not my parents, me. Brown sugar goes in the freezer so it doesn't dry out and become a piece of granite.

Jars of stuff which expired years or even decades ago. They still do.

Chocolate is much better refrigerated

[–] Mr_Dr_Oink 1 points 1 day ago

My wife swears by fridge chocolate for the snap.

Ive told her time and time again, chocolate is better when melty.

Put a piece or two in your mouth and play with it until it gets super melty. Its so tasty.

The best is when its been sat in a warm room for a bit and its still got its shape but when you snap it its like butter.

NOM!

My SO got a chuckle out of me because I instinctively put chocolate in the fridge. I grew up in a hot climate but I live in Canada now.
