Which bread box will keep bread fresher and safer longer..wood or steel?

Answer 1

steel
since it would not allow bread spoiling microbes to enter

Answer 2

It seams to me that the steel box would keep the bread longer but a wood box would keep the moisture level higher there by not drying it out as fast.

So "long none dried bread' or "shorter soft moist bread"

Answer 3

A wooden breadbox is almost impossible to wipe clean on it's interior surfaces, and over a period of time a wooden breadbox will collect mold spores within the cracks, crevices, and grain structure of the surfaces, particularly if they are damp, or wet.
I would think that bread kept in a wooden breadbox would tend to get moldy quicker than bread kept in a steel breadbox.

Similarly, wooden cutting boards are no longer being recommended for use in the preparation of food. The porous wood surfaces are almost impossible to be washed or rinsed free of bacteria. Hard plastic cutting boards are considered much more sanitary (but harder on knives, I would think).

Answer 4

The material doesnt matter. What matters is how air-tight the bread box is.

Answer 5

Depends on which one was more airtight.

Answer 6

the refigerator
