- How much bread does the Polder Deluxe hold?
- It fits roughly one large loaf plus a few rolls or bagels. It is not sized for bulk baking or multiple loaves.
- Is it dishwasher safe?
- No. Polder lists it as hand wash only, so wash it with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- Does it keep bread from going stale?
- It slows drying but is not airtight. Bread with a hard crust will still soften or dry over several days.
- What are the outside dimensions?
- About 17 inches long, 11 inches deep and 7 inches wide, so check your counter depth before buying.
- How does it compare with a plastic bread box?
- Stainless steel resists odors and stains better than plastic and looks more durable, but plastic boxes are usually lighter and can be cheaper.
- Can I use it for anything other than bread?
- Yes. It works for rolls, bagels, tortillas and pastries, and some owners use it to hide counter clutter.
- Where is the Polder Deluxe cheapest?
- At The Container Store, for $20.89, as of our latest check.
