60 day old bread

Re: 60 day old bread
I don't see where they verify that the microwave irradiation leaves the food the same as before, except with the mold spores killed. Besides, this wouldn't keep bread from going stale or from spoiling because of the action of enzymes. It might work well for long-term-storage food, though.

Re: 60 day old bread
Food waste is a massive problem - biggest single thing going to landfill in the USA. Innovation like this will help create more solutions.
That, or we'll have lots of croutons.

With the exception of crusty rolls, the supermarket bread here seems to last forever anyway.....always wondered about that.........

Am I the only person that keeps bread in the freezer?
Also if the bread wasn't so sugary to start off with...

I was reading that wheat flour usually contains bromine which makes you dull-witted and lacking energy, I'm trying to cut down because I always feel (even more) like that after eating bread.

Yes, how can 'a sophisticated microwave array' stop it going stale? It would still need the magic rubber ingredient they put in 'Sarah Lee' bread.

There can sometimes be enough trouble finding bread without the gym mat material in it (Azodicarbonamide), HFCS or any of the artificial sweeteners. Luckily, there's three bakeries nearby that make bread without any of the above, along with a couple of grocery stores.

I love bread but find US bread too sweet for my tastes. So I've made my own since living here. Of course, I use a bread machine and it has an aluminium pan so I'm not sure how good that organic wholewheat flour is after being in there. I only ever do it on a dough cycle and then bake it in the oven because I like a proper loaf shaped loaf without a whole in the bottom where the paddle was and I love the smell of it baking.

I was just looking it up. It's banned in most countries, apparently, but not in the US. The FDA urged bakers to stop using it and it has been partially successful. I don't know if the article is accurate or not.

I've also not found any problems using defrosted bread. I slice it once properly cooled, then freeze in an airtight container. You do have to use immediately it's defrosted (eg if you're making sandwiches), but if you do then I've not found any great degradation in texture or taste. Leave it defrosting for a couple of hours then yes it goes stale and hard quickly.
