@kismet   I'm with @Nightowlz. I have these (Debbie Meyer's)  a really long time and they are really good and look and perform as they did when I first bought them on HSN. I bought a 2 pack.

I did check out the DM bread box but the height of the box is too short.  I do have an old Rubbermaid from years ago that is 7 1/4 x7 1/4x10 1/2.  Can't remember if it worked well but will try it.

If you don't like the larger Zojirushi bread machine loaves, cut off part of the bottom or the top and cut that part like breadsticks.  They are great for snacking or toasting.

 

Then you have a shorter loaf.  I like to cut off the whole top so the remaining loaf is better for smaller sandwich sized slices.

I don't bake bread but the supermarket bread is molding pretty quick in this humidity. Considering buying a bread keeper. The fridge helps but it dries the bread out.

@kismet  -  Can you freeze it? I know you're not supposed to refrigerate bread. This summer DH and I are not eating much of the multigrain bread we love, so I started freezing it. I put it in the microwave on defrost a few seconds and it's delicious!   Smiley Happy

Yes I can freeze it.  I freeze bread all the time from the grocery store and have frozen the home made.  Just wanted something to keep it on the counter.

Didn't want to cut the top off since half a slice is more than enough for a sandwich.  Everyone seems to want the larger slices.  I love this bread machine.

Icegoddess,  I did check out the Grin bags and they may work especially for freezing.  Do you use a slicer with the different thickness spaces.  I use what I bought on QVC years ago, it's flat with a plastic slideout to adjust the thickness.  Was looking at one on A that can adjust and hold the whole loaf.


@kismet , sorry, I didn't get the notification that you tagged me.  Yes, I have one of the slicers with the varrying thicknesses.  it's bamboo I think and comes with a nice knife although I like my Pampered Chef bread knife better because it's longer. I still have trouble getting it right though.
