If I finish baking just before I go to bed, I have to store the bread safely BUT I can't put it in a plastic bag because it will get soggy. One evening I had an inspiration: I stored the loaf in my rice cooker. The lid isn't airtight, but it's tight enough to keep those devilish cockroaches. Everyone in Hawai'i, no matter how clean, struggles with cockroaches.

Since then, I've been using the rice cooker more and more. It's easier and quicker than a plastic bag. However, this isn't the best solution as I also cook rice.

So perhaps I should get a bread box. I don't have counter space for one, but perhaps I could put it on my kitchen table.  Do you folks use bread boxes? What kind is the best?
