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.

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.

This simple little box accomplishes what I was aiming for, to keep my asundry bread bags organized and fresh. I like the divider that comes with it, I put my loaf of bread on one side and English muffins, sandwich rounds, bagels etc. on the other side. It holds a surprisingly large quantity of goods and keeps them from drying out. Overall very happy with this and I like the flat top, I can stack cracker packages on top.

I really like this bread basket, it had caught my eye and I finally bought it along with the flat napkin holder with the same design. I have a Craftsman/Bungalow kind of theme for my decor (hard to describe, sorry!) and this bread basket fits right in with the black scroll metal. The long shape works for either a loaf of bread or for rolls. I bought a nice moss green kitchen towel and line the basket with it, looks quite nice. Well made and sturdy, so I'm a happy camper.
It's my first bread basket, and I'm glad I got this one rather than settling for a generic wicker-type basket.

Wusthof Classic 10-Inch Bread Knife Review

Wusthof Classic 10-Inch Bread Knife
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It's a Wusthof Classic, so it's got all the weight, balance, comfort and precision sharpness of the great German line. This is a great choice for all amateur & aspiring chefs, and many professionals.
The purpose of this review is to urge any shopper investing in a Wusthof bread knife to go for the full 10" length -- it makes a positive difference in leverage as you slice, and easily clears the diameter of virtually any boule, ciabatta, and other artisan loaves. The same principle applies to roasts and other meats, if you use your serrated knives for carving.
The length doesn't diminish anyone's ability to slice tomatoes, panini or any other foods, either. If you're going to spend $100+ on a quality bread knife, make your money go further with the 10" model.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Wusthof Classic 10-Inch Bread Knife


The pronounced serration of this knife's blade is ideal for cutting through tough crusts without undue pressure. The knife's length and triangular tip make it perfect for slicing both long and round loaves. Cooks frustrated by bread knives that tear crusts or send crumbs flying will welcome this efficient worker.

Like all knives in Wusthof's Classic series, the knife's blade, tang, and bolster come precision forged from a single piece of precisely tempered, high-carbon, stain-resistant steel. This tempering allows the knife to hold its edge for an extremely long time. Even more, it comes with a unique compound angle not seen in many knives. This angle tapers from the spine of the knife to the edge to allow for a sturdy, yet extremely sharp edge while it also tapers from the bolster to the tip to give the knife strength as well as flexibility. Traditional in look, Classic knives are seamlessly constructed with a visible full tang triple-riveted into an ergonomically-shaped synthetic handle. Though the knife is dishwasher-safe, Wusthof recommends hand-washing all fine cutlery. Made in Germany, the knife measures approximately 18 by 3 by 1 inches and carries a limited lifetime warranty.

Don't waste your money if you have the same vison as I do. If you want breadsticks for the family you need to order 3 and use one typical batch of bread dough.

Kai Wasabi Black Bread Knife, 9-Inch Review

Average Reviews:

This knife is ideal for not just bread but also for carving chicken. The knife itself is fairly long and the serrations are big but this combination forces you to do a slicing motion that really is effective for breads with hard crusts like some european breads or stale bagels. You can also use this thing nicely to carve turkey slices, pot roasts, etc. I have the shun wasabi set and these knives are really worth it and relatively inexpensive.

Even sliced of warm, fresh bread are just a heartbeat away. The serrated edge of our 9 inch bread knife easily cuts through both soft and crusty loaves of bread with ease, and keeps from destroying the integrity of the loaf. Our Wasabi line of knives are made in the traditional Japanese blade styling. Each knife features unsurpassed cutting performance due to the Daido 1K6 high-carbon, stainless which maintains superior edge retention. To reduce food sticking, the blades are sharpened on a single side. Although it has a traditional blade-style, it is paired with a uniquely modern handle material, polypropylene blended with bamboo powder, and impregnated with an antibacterial agent for super clean food preparation.

Wusthof Classic 8-Inch Bread Knife Review

Wusthof Classic 8-Inch Bread Knife
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
There are really two main competitors in the high-end mainstream kitchen knife market: Henckels and Wusthof. Those who have used both usually have a preference. My preference (and therefore bias you should know about) is for the Wusthofs.
The Wusthof Classic line is the more conservative counterpart to the Grand Prix line. The only difference, however, is the handle style. I personally prefer the Grand Prix, but this is an issue of personal preference. The balance and grip of these knives are as close to perfect as I have found. For those wondering what benefits a higher priced knife provides, one benefit is that the blade (or tang) is one piece all the way through the handle. This makes the blade much stronger, and less likely to snap.
This particular model, the 8 inch bread knife, is a great knife. Many people think tomatoes are the hardest food items to clearly cut. I think bread is much more difficult; but this knife makes the task seem easy. My only quibble is the length. I find the 9 inch bread knife to be a better length for most loaves of bread.
I recommend the Wusthof 8" bread knife, but I would try out the 8 inch and the 9 inch to see which you prefer.

The knife's length and triangular tip make it perfect for slicing both long and round loaves. Cooks frustrated by bread knives that tear crusts or send crumbs flying will welcome this efficient worker.

Part of the Classic series, the knife represents two centuries of unexcelled Wusthof craftsmanship. Like other cutlery in the series, it's hand-forged from a single piece of stainless steel for maximum strength; the hand-polished blade is exactingly calibrated to be hard enough to resist dulling yet soft enough to take a keen edge when it's honed or sharpened. Dishwasher-safe and with a traditionally shaped, ergonomically designed handle that is triple-riveted for durability, the knife brings a guaranteed lifetime of low-maintenance cutting to its owners.

Emerilware by T-Fal Emerilware 3-PoundBread & Baguette Maker Review

Emerilware by T-Fal Emerilware 3-PoundBread and Baguette Maker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've tried almost every major brand of bread machine they make (including the Zojirushi), and returned ALL of them - until I got this one! The T-Fal OW5005002 Emerilware Bread-and-Baguette Maker does everything it says, and does it well! I've made cakes (they resemble pound cakes), the baguettes (adorable AND tasty), and several loaves of delicious bread in it! It has two paddles, which does make a difference when kneading dough. The crust selector works better than any other bread machine I've had, and I was really impressed that the breads came out with one texture, the cake another, and the french baguette recipe a third! It makes decently textured pizza dough too (though the delay timer doesn't work on the dough cycle, so I have to make it at the right time to have it ready for dinner).
The unit itself is pretty large, but it functions quietly, and stays in one place on the counter. The pan is 8 5/8" by 4 3/4" by 6" tall, so it makes a loaf that is actual loaf pan-sized! It has way more wattage than the Zo (1650 vs. 700), and so far is proving to be a stunning value! Highly, highly recommended!
I've since found out that the 'cake' cycle is the quick bread cycle. Bakes a wonderful one from a box (that's the only kind I've tried so far). Also, I've tried fat-free loaves and it worked great with them too.
I'm a little disappointed that there's no 'bake only' cycle. That would help me a lot with sourdough loaves.

I had a stainless steel rolltop breadbox for years, and I hated it! It was impossible to keep clean, and if I was lucky, I could fit two small loaves of bread in it. Well, I finally had enough and searched for other options. I came across this item and although slightly sticker shocked at first, it was the best $50 I ever spent! The breadbox is huge, will easily fit two loaves of bread with plenty of room for hamburger or sandwich buns. With my husband gone for a few weeks I haven't been able to fully test the capacity, but I can tell you it's triple what I could fit in my old one! The construction is very durable as well.

This is an excellent and very cute looking baking pan!
It bakes evenly and does not cause any sticking (just warm the pan by pouring hot water over it or placing for a minute or so in the oven, then grease it well with butter). This is a 6-cap capacity pan, so it holds the same volume of batter as Nordic Ware Lemon Loaf or Nordic Ware Pumpkin Loaf Pan, but it is a couple of inches longer and produces nicer rounded slices. The recipe which comes with the pan is great and almost identical to the Banana bread recipe from The New Best Recipe: All-New Edition. The relief on the top also helps to slice the baked loaf evenly.
