Prepworks by Progressive Bread ProKeeper

We bake our own bread. This container was expensive but worth every penny. Our bread is still fresh 4 days later if it lasts that long. It has a vent to stop condense Station which is why it stays fresh. 5 stars.

so pleased with this, it just works.. quality is good though i tend not to use the chopping board bit as I prefer my own. looks nice on the worktop, I was afraid it may look cheap among some pricey kitchen accessories but no, its fine. I made a loaf Saturday, ate the last of it Thurs.. not quite at its best for sandwich ( but not out of the question) so i toasted it. there is a vent at the back under handle - to allow steam out when your loaf is still hot. I cut my bread straight and leave cut edge up against the chopping board end, then its good to go as you need it.

Good product for storing bread so you can see how much to have left, but don't use the cutting board to avoid contamination with plastic

Perfect size for loaves from my Panasonic bread machine. Significantly smaller than the one I had previously; so freed up some space on the work surface. As it's smaller it also keeps the bread much more fresh. It's a US import so it takes a while to arrive, but worth the wait I would say.

I went against my better judgement and bought this, hoping it can replace our current bread box. The size is not the issue we had, but rather there is no catch to keep the bread in open wider? So it just falls open if you need to pick it up?! We keep our bread in the cupboard to reduce the amount of counter space used up and this isn’t useable because it falls open all the time.. I tried to send it back, but the whole awkward returns process from the UK means I just spent like £20 to give something to a charity shop…..

Good product I don’t know how I feel about it coming apart at the middle and not fixing together but using it as a bread bin is as easy as using a bread bin.

I brought and sent is back as I could not see how it would keep my bead fresh as the was a gap around the sliding part. I would have there wond have a rubber seal to stop the air getting in makeing the bread stail.

I wished I had bought this container before. It keeps bread fresh and airtight. Highly recommended.

I have started baking bread again, just small loaves. This container is a perfect size and the inbuilt cutting board is very handy. Its expandable which is also a nice touch.

(Segunda compra del artículo Mayo 2022) Es un contenedor muy práctico y bien diseñado. No sé de donde vino la confusión de querer usarlo para almacenar el pan rebanado del supermercado, sobre todo si las medidas y su uso vienen en la descripción, las imágenes en la publicación y la caja del producto pero definitivamente ese no es el uso para el que fue diseñado este contenedor. Habiendo aclarado lo anterior, las medidas son fantásticas para almacenar un pan alto como un brioche o dos panqués al mismo tiempo si horneas en batches de 2. Como se aprecia en las imágenes, la tapa esta diseñada para ser usada como tabla y cortar las rebanadas ahí mismo. Hay guías en las tapa también para ayudarte a mantener el mismo grosor para cada rebanada y la ventilación que ofrece es fantástica. Yo suelo mete lo que horneo inmediatamente y el poder subir o bajar la tapa de ventilación es increíblemente util. El panqué de plátano especialmente se ve beneficiado de esto. Anteriormente para mantener esa capa húmeda en la capa superior del pan tenía que envolver toda la pieza en film plástico y ahora ya no tengo que desperdiciar en eso. Arriba de la tapa de ventilación vienen grabadas las instrucciones también para que aprendas a usarla. "Arriba es para cosas recién horneadas/ climas húmedos" y "Abajo para climas secos". Mientras vas consumiendo lo que tengas guardado, puedes ir empujando las dos partes del contenedor para que ocupe menos y menos espacio. En mi experiencia mantiene la humedad y textura del pan como la del primer día hasta por dos semanas incluso si se mete al refrigerador que siempre seca muchísimo la migaja. Recomendado al 100%, es la segunda vez que lo compro.

UPDATE: Yup, I still love this bread keeper. Going strong in spite of my clumsiness. I love the new updated Progressive Bread ProKeeper! I purchased several of the original version with the round ventilation "dial" and had multiple issues with it but it was the best thing out there. I have a family with a true gluten allergy. I have to bake my own bread or else pay $7 for a tiny, frozen loaf that's full of holes or has dry, flavorless, bean flavor. When my second original bread keeper was dropped, the giant hole made it an easy decision to try the new version. The updated version is leagues ahead on improvements. Pros: The ventilation is much better! The updated pull handle is a huge improvement over the tiny dial. Not only did the tiny dial not let in enough air to compensate for our humid environment, it was positively useless for gripping because it was too small to grip securely. The new handle is large enough to accommodate all four fingers of my hand with space left over. This is an advantage for better control of the box and opening and closing the two sides as they slide together to hold your loaf. The bottom has more ridges to keep my loaf elevated, which equates to better moisture control inside the box. Better moisture control = less humidity = slower to mold gluten free bread = more is eaten = less waste. The magnet that holds the hinged cutting board is a nice touch. The outside of the magnet has a slight lip which acts as a small surface to open the box from that side. It has a nice hold when closed. Not too tight, not too loose. The white, built-in cutting board is really not very usable. It's too small to hold the crumbs but this doesn't really bother me since the box would need a closing side anyway. The reason the cutting "side" is in the pros category is because it's attached and doesn't flop out, shift, fall out, or need to be kept track of when apart from the rest of the box. In my kitchen, the fewer "parts" I need to store, the better for me. The next item that was improved is the feet. They are black, more grippy, and more attached than the original version. The last thing that I love about this breadbox is that it's clear and I can easily see what's inside, how much, and whether I need to make french toast rather than sandwiches. (French toast needs slightly dryer bread to absorb the egg.) Cons: There is the likelihood that crumbs will get trapped in the bottom layers of the two box sections. Rather than shaking out the entire box together, just pull it apart and brush off the crumbs on both surfaces. This really isn't a con to me but more of a function. Definitely not a deterrent to my use. The only real con is that the ventilation holes are not very adjustable. You either get all-ventilation or no-ventilation. Without pushing the handle up into the "open" position, it hangs down and covers the holes. I would definitely recommend this bread box for anyone that makes their own bread. It has done a fantastic job of keeping my gluten free bread free of mold for longer. Yes, this is a very common situation for gluten free bread. I purchased this product on Amazon at full price, with my own money. I was not offered a discount, free item, or asked to leave this review. I waited several months before writing a review because I wanted to make sure I would be able to leave an accurate review that wasn't based on my initial impressions only. With extensive, daily use, I still love it and would recommend it to all my friends.

I decided to buy this container after I broke a different version of it (the one without the magnetic closure) after years of use. It fell off a shelf & cracked. I did like the older version while I had it but when I saw this version, I had to buy it. This one is better due to two features: the air vent & the magnet closure. The air vent style works better because you set it & forget it. The other version's vent moved far too easily by accident. This one can't move unless you move it deliberately. The magnet closure works great. I don't use the integrated cutting board because I want to keep the box looking nice. To those who feel the box halves “fall apart”, just position it sideways so you use two hands to move it. I've not had it come apart too easily. I also like the size of this box - great for store-bought loaves though I mainly use it for 2 lb bread machine loaves & they fit nicely.
