Cinnamon Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Can anyone recommend a really good bread bin for me? I have had a Brabantia roll top one in stainless steel for years, but it is starting to look really shabby & I would like to replace it. I have been eyeing the Nigella ones with the wooden lid which can be used as a board,but a few reviews have said that the lid can warp It needs to be big enough to comfortably hold a couple of loafs. Thought I would ask here as Omleteers are all knowledgeable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 We have a big pottery crock thingy for bread with a pottery lid; I think its part of the 'Henry Watson' range - which we got from John Lewis at High Wycombe ( staff discount ??!! ) It seems to keep bread reasonably fresh and looks nice and decorative tho I seem to constantly be baking - the bread goblins are always hungry!

Charlottechicken Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I keep my bread in the fridge too! (although I do have one of these!) CM, I love those barrels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Mine is in the fridge too as it's homemade and doesn't have any synthetic preservatives in it, also, with just Rosie and I in the house, it doesn't get eaten quickly. I have a couple of those enamel bread bins too Claire; picked up at the local tip for a fiver a piece - I use them for storage in the utility room.

Chucky Mama Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 CM, I love those barrels Can't remember how much ours was but it was no where near £70.I remember getting ours coincided with that ship dumping a whole load of wood and things including wooden barrels that people took from the beach. Lots of people commented on our barrel but I worried that people thought we had scabbed it off the beach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 I do like those barrels,but I was thinking of something more long than high (plus they are a bit pricey!) I think I will have a Bread Bin day in Reading next week - see if I can find something great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I have a cream ceramic one from Argos. (Page 942 of catalogue ) not good at linkies - sorry. Its usualy full of pitta, homemade, brought and wraps. Kids being half Greek love their bread - I suspect its a Greek thing. Cant remembet my bread intake as a sprog. I'm happy with this - looks nice on worktop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Licken Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I have the Nigella one - it is massive. No problem with the lid warping - I have had it for a couple of years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
