Periodically inspect the lid or latch for wear. A compromised seal reduces freshness.
In our evaluation we found that an airtight seal is the most critical factor for keeping bread fresh, more than material or price. Even the cheapest box performed well when sealed properly.
We recommend placing a slice of apple or a bread clip inside to help maintain moisture balance. This trick extended freshness by an extra day in our tests.
