Joseph Joseph Bread Bin with Bamboo Cutting Board Lid – Black

Bread left in its plastic bag on the worktop goes one of two ways in a Kenyan kitchen: sweaty and doughy if the bag is sealed, or dry at the crust by the second morning if it is not. Rolls and pastries fare worse. A proper bin buys you days, and this one does something a plain bin does not.

The lid is bamboo, and it is made to be lifted off and used as a cutting board — so the surface you slice on is already there, on top of the bread, instead of being fetched from a cupboard and washed afterwards. Cut what you need, tip the crumbs into the bin, put the lid back. The body is black, so it reads as a piece of worktop furniture rather than a plastic box, and it keeps bread, rolls and pastries fresher for longer by holding them in a closed, still environment away from the humidity that arrives with the long rains. It suits households that buy bread every few days, and anyone doing up a kitchen who wants the worktop to look deliberate. A solid housewarming gift for the same reason.
