Questions and answers
- Which holds more bread?
- The Steel + Wood is the larger bin. Its 17 x 14.5 x 9.5 in body holds multiple loaves, buns and pastries. The Bread Box is smaller at 15.75 x 13.58 in with a 24 cm height.
- Is the Steel + Wood worth the extra $10.01?
- Yes if you will use the cutting board and storage bin it includes. If you only need a bin for one or two loaves, the Bread Box saves money and counter space.
- Which keeps bread fresher?
- The Steel + Wood has a hinge gap of about 0.5 in that lets air move, which helps crusts stay crisp. The Bread Box does not state an airflow gap.
- Can either go in the dishwasher?
- No. Both are hand wash only. Wipe the steel with a damp cloth and dry it right away.
- Which fits under kitchen cabinets?
- Both are about 9.5 in tall, so check your clearance. The Bread Box is narrower and shallower, so it fits tighter spots more easily.
- Do either come with a cutting board?
- Only the Steel + Wood includes one, along with a storage bin. The Bread Box includes just the lid.
