Food Storage & Preservation Equipment

  • Airtight Containers – Airtight containers are designed to protect your food & recipe ingredients (i.e. flour & sugar) from pests, moisture and oxidization.
  • Aluminum Foil – Many people like to wrap their baked goods in aluminum foil or plastic wrap before placing them in the freezer.
  • Bread Boxes – Bread boxes are an old fashioned way to extend the freshness of bread and to prevent dust, pests, etc. from contaminating bread.
  • Canning Jars – Canning is another way of preserving food. Often used to can homegrown vegetables, fruit, etc.
  • Dehydrating Machines – Want to make your own dried cranberries or dried herbs? Than try drying out fruit, vegetables & herbs with a dehydrating machine. Great from anyone who grows food in a backyard garden, pots, etc.
  • Freezer Bags – These plastic bags are used to seal out air when food is placed in the freezer. Helps to reduce freezer burn especially when the baked good is individually wrapped in aluminum foil or plastic wrap.
  • Freezer Chests – People like to buy a freezer chest for extra storage (as many normal refrigerators have only a limited freezer section). Also a freezer chest does not waste energy by “dumping out” the cold air when opened (unlike a standing refrigerator).
  • Pantry Cabinets – Is your pantry too small? You can buy stand-alone pantry cabinets to easily expand your pantry space. These are nice looking cabinets with lots of space and extra shelves & racks.
  • Pantry Organizers – You can buy bins & racks to make your pantry more organized. This helps you to more easily find food & recipe ingredients as well as prevent spoilage (because there are less things are “forgotten” in the back of the pantry).
  • Plastic Wrap – Many people like to wrap their baked goods in aluminum foil or plastic wrap before placing them in the freezer.
  • Pickling Jars – These jars are used to pickle cucumbers, beans, etc.
  • Sandwich Bags – Sandwich bags are used to temporarily protect food while traveling (i.e. protect a sandwich when going to school or work), etc. Large bags can be used to protect bread, baked goods, etc.
  • Vacuum Sealing Machines – Vacuum sealing helps to preserve food.

I want to thank EVERYONE who leaves a comment in our recipe comment sections!! Beginners learn a lot from your tips & recipe variations. Below are some of our recent noteworthy visitor comments.

  • Lauren listed a ton of useful lessons learned when making my Bread Machine Banana Bread. Please see the comment section on that page to read Lauren’s five helpful tips – “I’ve made this recipe twice and want to share my errors from the first time around so others don’t make the same mistakes!…These are all tips that are already written in the recipe, but because the recipe is so full of info, I missed some of it. Best banana bread I’ve ever had! Great recipe!“
  • Martha (who always has great suggestions!) posted a couple of nice sandwich ideas for my High Fiber Bread Recipe – “I am about to make my second loaf of this wonderful bread. This time I’m going to try your suggestion of replacing 1/4c of the flax with multi-grain cereal since I’m all about the healthy eating. This bread is a hearty, yet softer wheat bread. It’s perfect for a garden fresh tomato sandwich, or a BLT. Thanks for another winner, Breaddad!“
  • Micaela posted a wonderful comment & discussed how my Flour Tortilla Recipe allows people to skip using lard – “Thank you for your flour tortilla recipe. I’m 75 young and for 70 of those years I have never used anything but lard. Today I used your recipe and was so happy I did. Followed it to the T. Wonderful taste and so very soft. Will never by lard again. So easy and delicious. If I could I would give you 10 stars! So deserving“
  • Ashe left a very nice note about my Eggless Banana Bread Recipe – “I can’t believe how good my bread came out! The texture is the most complex I’ve ever had making banana bread — it’s moist and spongey with a delicately crisp crust. The flavor is slightly more mellow than with an egg-based recipe, but I think that’s lovely, too. Sometimes you want a flavor explosion and other times you need something mildly sweet. Both variations have their strengths, so I’m thrilled to know I can still make my favorite treat without eggs.“
  • Gaye made a fantastic pepperoni & cheese version of my Bread Machine Cheese Bread – “I made this recipe with additions and it turned out so good. So good I made sure to write them down to keep for the future. I added 1/2 of a chopped onion,sauteed. Sautéed chopped pepperoni slices, a heaping t. of Italian Seasoning, & chopped olives.“
