Description
Loafnest is a bread bag made of sturdy cotton with a beeswax-coated lining. Put your loaf in, roll the top down and clip the strap across it. It stands on the counter, lets the bread breathe instead of sweating, and keeps it fresh for up to 7 days.
Size and materials
13 x 17 inches laid flat. Big enough for a large sourdough, a Dutch oven loaf, or two smaller loaves at once. 100% cotton outside with a natural beeswax lining inside, a cotton webbing strap and a clip buckle.
Shipping
Free shipping on every order, already in the price. We dispatch in 1 to 3 business days.
30-day money back
Keep your bread in it for a month. If it is not for you, tell us within 30 days and you get your money back.
About the crossed-out price: it only appears on the two-bag option, and it is simply two bags at the one-bag price. The second bag really is free.
Why it works
Your bread,
kept the simple way
Cotton on the outside, beeswax on the inside, and nothing plastic between your loaf and the air.
Plastic traps moisture and the crust goes soft. Loafnest lets the loaf breathe without drying it out, so bread stays fresh for up to 7 days.
Sturdy cotton with a beeswax coating inside. It takes a large artisan loaf, holds its shape on the counter, and with a re-wax now and then it keeps going for years.
No plastic bag for every loaf, and fewer stale ends thrown away. Rolled shut, it looks right left out on the counter.
Make the switch
Plastic makes it soggy.
Paper makes it hard.
In plastic or paper, most loaves are past their best in a couple of days. Loafnest keeps bread fresh for up to 7 days, so the second half of the loaf gets eaten instead of binned.
| Loafnest | Plastic bag | Paper bag | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fresh for | Up to 7 days | A couple of days | A couple of days |
| The crust | Stays crusty longer | Goes soft and sweaty | Dries out and hardens |
| Breathes | Yes, cotton | No | Too much |
| Beeswax lining | Yes, real beeswax | No | No |
| Reusable | For years, with care | Once or twice | Once |
How long a loaf keeps always depends on your kitchen and your bread. A crusty sourdough in a cool kitchen goes furthest; a soft loaf on a hot, humid day will not.
What to expect
A loaf's week
in a Loafnest
No survey numbers. Just how a good loaf usually goes, from the day you bring it home.
- Day 1Let it cool, then bag it
A warm loaf steams, so wait until it is cool to the touch. Cut what you want, put the rest in cut side down, roll the top and clip the strap.
- 2 to 3Out, slice, back in
Crust with some bite, crumb still soft. Out for breakfast, back in before the coffee is done, standing on the counter like a bread bin that folds away.
- 4 to 5Sandwich days
The crumb still slices well for lunches. The crust starts to soften, which is normal for any bread.
- 6 to 7Toast days
Toward the end of the week, a slice in the toaster brings the crust right back.
Looking after it
Cool water, no heat,
a little wax
Beeswax does not like heat. Keep that in mind and the rest is simple.
- 1Tip out the crumbs
Every few loaves, turn it over the sink and give it a shake.
- 2Wipe or rinse in cool water
Wipe the lining with a damp cloth. If it needs more, rinse the bag in cool water with a little mild soap.
- 3Air dry
Hang it up or lay it flat, open side up, until it is completely dry. Then it is ready for the next loaf.
- 4Keep it away from heat
No hot water, no washing machine, no dishwasher, no dryer. Keep it off the stovetop and out of the oven.
- 5Re-wax when it looks dry
When the lining turns pale, rub a bar of beeswax over the inside, warm it with a hair dryer on low until the wax melts in, and let it cool flat.
Questions
Before you buy
How long will my bread actually stay fresh?
Up to 7 days. Exactly how long depends on your kitchen and your bread: a crusty sourdough in a cool kitchen goes the distance, a soft loaf on a hot, humid day will not. Toward the end of the week the crust softens, and a slice in the toaster brings it back.
Will my big sourdough fit?
The bag is 13 x 17 inches laid flat. That takes a large sourdough or a Dutch oven loaf, or two smaller loaves side by side, without squashing anything.
Why not just use a plastic or paper bag?
Plastic holds every bit of moisture in, so the crust goes soft and the loaf sweats. Paper lets it all out, so the bread dries and turns hard. Loafnest sits in between: cotton that breathes, with a beeswax-coated lining inside.
How does it close?
Roll the top down two or three times, bring the strap across the roll and clip the buckle. It holds the fold shut and keeps the bag standing neatly on the counter.
How do I clean it?
Wipe the inside with a damp cloth, or rinse the bag in cool water with a little mild soap, then let it air dry. No hot water, no washing machine and no dishwasher, because heat softens the beeswax. The full routine is just above.
Will it stop my bread going moldy?
It is a bread bag, not a preservative. Bread still goes stale in the end, and in a warm, humid kitchen it can still go moldy. If a loaf will not be finished in a few days, slice what is left and freeze it.
Can I keep other things in it?
Anything from the bakery you want to keep from drying out: rolls, bagels, baguettes, croissants. Wipe it out now and then so the crumbs do not build up.
Why is the second bag free?
It is the offer we run. Most kitchens have more than one loaf on the go, or someone to give one to. Pick the two-bag option and you get two Loafnest bags for the price of one. The one-bag price is the same either way, nothing inflated.
What if it is not for me?
Tell us within 30 days and you get your money back. Shipping was free on the way to you, and you do not have to explain.
