A roll top is the right door for a bread bin because it disappears into the body rather than swinging out or lifting off — so the bin can sit under a wall cupboard where a hinged lid would not open, and there is no lid to put down on a counter while you take out a loaf. At 38 x 28 x 18cm the interior takes a full loaf plus rolls or pastries. Bamboo is the material that lets a bread bin stay on display: warm, natural and better-looking than metal or plastic, while being dense enough to handle a kitchen environment. It keeps bread at the room temperature it should be stored at rather than in a fridge.

Buying guide
Keep bread at room temperature in the bin rather than in the fridge — refrigeration makes bread go stale faster, which is one of the most counter-intuitive facts in a kitchen. Store the loaf in paper rather than sealed plastic inside the bin if you want the crust to stay crisp. Wipe the bin out weekly and let it air, since crumbs plus humidity is what causes mould. Keep bamboo dry and away from the kettle's steam, and oil it lightly once or twice a year. Freeze anything you will not eat within two days.
How it compares
Against a hinged-lid bin, a roll top fits under a wall cupboard and leaves no lid to put down. Against a metal bin, bamboo looks warmer on a counter. Against leaving bread in its bag, a bin keeps the crust crisp rather than sweating it soft.
Frequently asked questions
Why not keep bread in the fridge?
Refrigeration makes bread go stale faster. Room temperature in a bin is correct, and anything you will not eat within two days should be frozen.
Why a roll top?
It disappears into the body rather than swinging or lifting off, so the bin works under a wall cupboard and there is no lid to put down.
How do I prevent mould?
Wipe it out weekly and let it air. Crumbs combined with humidity cause mould, not the bin itself.
