Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Designed to keep bread, dinner rolls, and other baked goods fresh longer, this sleek-looking bread bin features an interior base with a knobbly pattern for enhanced ventilation. The unit offers a nice alternative to bagging bread for storage in the refrigerator or freezer, and its uniquely designed lid opens silently with just a light touch thanks to its low-noise Touch Bin storage system. In addition, the bin supplies a generous interior that can accommodate two large loaves of bread and more, yet it also provides space-efficient design details. For example, the unit's flat top can be used to store canisters or other items, and its lid doesn't take up any more room when it's opened or closed. Made of corrosion-resistant materials, the bin cleans up easily and will provide years of long-lasting high-quality performance. The bread bin measures 18-2/7 by 10-5/6 by 7 inches.

I bought this years ago in San Francisco while shopping with my nephew who now lives in Japan. He thought I was a little nuts because I live in the DC area and that meant I'd have to fit this into my already bursting suitcase to bring it home. Because it was a price I couldn't resist, I took the plunge and figured that I'd fill the bin with clothes and wrap it inside other garments. It worked well and after all these years, I still love the Brabantia bread bin that sits in its regal position atop the refrigerator. Not wanting to waste a fraction of space, I have boxes of cereal and aluminum foil perching on top of the flat bin, all displayed for easy access. The rolling lid moves very smoothly and is easy to operate up and down, exposing the breads (and crackers) housed in the unit. I must admit that I sometimes forget to close the door if I have no fresh bread in the bin, but it looks nice even in opened position. It's a cinch to clean this and unlike us mortals, it doesn't seem to age. Should something happen to destroy this storage, I will likely replace it with the same.

This bread box is beautiful and kept our bread extremely fresh ... until a part of the latch broke. This delicate latch is necessary to keep the box closed, which renders our lovely box useless. The guarantee is for 10 years, so I assume we will get a new one, but I worry that a new one will break down the line.... If I were to purchase a new bread box, I would go for one that doesn't automatically spring open. I wouldn't mind manually raising the door, if that meant I would have the box forever.

My kitchen is tiny, so I was hesitant to put more stuff on the counter, but this bread box helps it to look less cluttered in there. With its shiny surface, it's kind of like putting a mirror in the room, adding "visual" space. It holds a bag of large hamburger buns, a small loaf of bread, and a half-eaten bag of chips.

It was hard to tell from the description whether this is chrome-plated or stainless. The Brabantia site lists the color as "steel" but states merely that the materials are "corrosion-resistant." I'm thinking it's chrome, but I do wish I knew for sure.

It comes with a small plastic stopper for the hole in the back, so you get to decide whether it is ventilated or not.

For anyone who spends much time in the kitchen, where two hands are never enough, the one-touch opener system (nearly soundless) is a blessing. I like the way it rolls upward to open, leaving the space in front and above available for more of my stuff while still having access to the contents.

Mine arrived with a tiny dent in one side. It's barely noticeable, though, and I figure it will suffer much worse once it has been in my kitchen for any length of time.
