Make fresh bread last much longer, in the fridge or out, by keeping your hands out of the bag. Yeah, right. How does that work and how do you get the bread out? This article will show you how to get away with it.


The reason you want to keep your hands out is because mold spores enter the bag and cause the bread to "mold". The bread is basically sterile in the bag from the bakery. The spores WILL enter the bag on your hands AND from the air. Some air will enter the bag when you slide the slices out but that can be kept to a minimum. Keeping your biscuit hooks out is easy. You don't put your hands in a toothpaste tube, do you?
