I like the first comment:

"nice typo jackass... its "mold" not "mould"... mould is to like change somethings shape... idk why I read giz you people are retarded"

There's some trial going on for the US Army involving sealed packets with sub rolls in them that last some ridiculous length of time. Couldn't find a link because I can't remember the name of the company doing it or the product.
Even if these things don't taste as good as regular food, or are more expensive, they would be just the kind of thing you would want for disaster relief.

I have a device that makes bread stay fresh indefinitely.

It's called a freezer.

This would be useful if you go on a 59 day round the world cruise.

You have to thaw it out right though, and if the packet gets ripped it gets freezer burnt and ends up going to the birds.

I can see the cost of energy going up enough that these things will make more sense in the future due to the high cost of freezing food.

Yawn. Call me when they can put vitamins and nutrients into haribo making them good for you. The day man can eat a tub of tangfastics and have it be good for us instead of turning us into a diabetes riddled, sack of shít will be a proud day for man kind.

Irradiated food has been around for ages. Blast food with gamma rays and it stays fresh for yonks.

On dragons den someone had a prototype of a bread bin that kept bread fresh for two weeks approx. every time you closed the lid it sucked the air out and made a vacuum.
Air is the enemy of bread. Production cost / parts price etc meant the market price had to be approx 120 euro so it didn't happen as it wouldnt sell. Product worked though.

I like the idea - I buy a new loaf every three days for sandwiches. What was left over from the old one gets used for toast until I pick more than 3 bits of mould from a slice......then it's out for birdfood.

American bread seems to never go off.

Only problem is, it tastes crap.

Even if you could make bread stay fresh for that long, I'd buy the type which goes stale and out of date. Tastes much better.

I got some Stayfresh bread in Tesco some years ago, and threw it out after about a month as it still hadn't gone moldy, and I becan to fear that eating that amount of preservatives would give me cancer. I firmly believe that it's still sitting in a landfill, completely fresh.

I keep misreading this thread as "Researchers keep breath fresh for 60 days", now that would be a breakthrough.

That'll save us a lot of dough.

Here's the weirdest story you'll read all day:

I'd a boyfriend in the States for a couple of years in my early twenties who I met on my J1. We did long distance for 2 years (stupid) and every time we visited each other, we'd bring over a slice of American bread we'd toasted the first night we met (weirdos) and after the 2 and a half year relationship ended, the bread was still intact...and people eat that crap? Give me nice, normal bread that goes off like it should.

A lifetime of having such bread as a staple of your diet and you can take comfort from the fact that it will probably take a year for your corpse to decompose when you die

Pherekydes · 01-12-2012 12:36PM

This might be a good idea. We throw lots of bread out. The wife is violently allergic to penicillin and mould. The crows around our way are well fed and are impervious to diseases. :pac:

Definitely a WallMart loaf used for this research!!!

How is lying dead in a coffin supposed to be comforting?

A regular bread bin is €63 in my local hardware and there is nothing special about it (another shop sells the same bin for €19.99). €120 for a bin that keeps bread fresh sounds cheap.

Ooooh la dee da 120 for a bread bin cheap:p . Only messing yeah it doesnt sound too bad actually as luxury items go. I know people who spend 15 euro on each mug they have and i think 20-30 on each plate. Not something most could afford (and certainly not me) but I'd say there would be a market.

hytrogen · 01-12-2012 01:53PM

Ironically right now me & the gf are arguing about putting 4 slices of the end of a slice pan in the freezer when I'll ear them in the coming day or two so solution would be appreciated to save on freezer space for the precious (in a golum voice) ice-cream
