Your voice reminds me of an old mam who gives free gifts to children on Christmas.

I don’t even cook but I’ve binged like 17 of this videos this guys voice is wholesome!

I love your tips. I've learned so much from you. Thank you for all of your hard work testing these things out and filming them for us.

Love when George Lucas teaches you useful things.

This is so wholesome, i wish more people would find this channel, such a sweet voice and great tips. Subscribed and bell at the first video

Hello Mike, it is so nice to see you back. What a jolly good idea this is, it is an ongoing problem for me over here in England especially with the LockDown I have been buying spare bread where I can and freezing it and I was thinking the other day about the state of the bread when I finally get around to getting it out of the freezer so this is a very timely video. How is my old mate Toby, by the way, Mike?

Between this video and How To Clean Sheet Pans, you've earned yourself a new Sub! Love your videos!

Great video. My tip is for keeping garlic fresh and ready to use indefinitely (in fridge). 4-5 heads of garlic, peel cloves. Cover in an airtight jar and fill with good quality olive oil (1 quart). Leave in fridge for a week. After that blitz it in a food processor until it becomes a paste. No more chopping garlic and this is the authentic way to make hummus too, you’re supposed to blitz the chickpeas and the olive oil is only added in this way (with the garlic paste). I’m from Melbourne Australia :)

Great tip Lisa and George, thank you for sharing this!! I just made a loaf of white sandwich bread and I’m going to start using this method today.😁

Just thought I would let you know the newspaper in the freezer omg it worked we now have a clean fresh freezer thankyou so much I will keep it up putting fresh in every week thankyou x🤗👍😁

I just watched a bunch of videos on this subject and your video is the best it makes the most sense thank you for your video

Good to hear and see you Mike, I’ll have to try this technique as I tried using my vacuum sealer and I think you know what happened to that loaf!!! It does suck all the air out, ... but it didn’t look very appetizing!!! Take care and again, good seeing you back!!! Art

This is wonderful to know. Mom always bought in bulk when there were sales and freeze it. I was so used to dry bread I had a wonderful surprise. I really appreciate this tip as my specialty breads usually go bad before I can use them.

I was glad to see that Oven Off is fume free. So will try this, thank you.

This is very interesting 🤔 I will try this out. Thank you for sharing this and thank you Lisa. (New sub was here.)

Sheer BRILLIANCE! Lol. What a great idea. Thanks Mike & Lisa.👏👏👏👏👏👏

I love how wholesome this guy is. He’s like the internets paw-paw

Thanks Mike ! I inherited my Nana & moms pans so those few will keep their "seasoning" lol (the pans hold myriad of fond memories) my pans will def be getting easy off'd !!!

We don't eat a lot of bread, so I wrap four slices tightly in clear wrap, then put that inside a ziplock freezer bag. When I have put all that will fit into the bag without squishing the bread, I begin to zip up the lock on the bag. Just before totally closing, I gently squeeze air out of bag. When we need bread, I take out one of these packs from inside the ziplock bag, then close carefully again, gently squeezing air out of bag. This method works great. Tip: When wrapping up any home baked goods, be sure food is totally cooled before putting in freezer.

Definitely 👍 Thank you for the information

Hi Mike, An awesome cool video thanks for sharing. Stay well and safe in the sunshine state.

Excellent tip on stopping bread water from leaving bread.

Just wanted to let you know how much fun it was to shop on your Amazon link. Really cool items. I’ve placed my 1st order & am following you on Amazon!

Very interesting, will have to give that a shot. Glad to see you're doing well.

I subscribed! Wasting food is getting expensive! I have been juicing and keeping my veggies fresh is a true challenge!

Love these tips~Thank you for the link and bread tip. I subbed to this channel through a lovely link on your other channel. Glad I did! :)

Very cool tip. However when I was in the Navy we had a term, 'Air Tight Integrity" if the bag leaks, like so many. Well......

I just discovered your channel! I hope you are still creating in 2024! Question: I am single so may I use your freezing method and only use one slice at a time? Can I open and close as needed? Where should I thaw it to use for a sandwich? Thank you! Hope to hear from you!

Thank you Mr 🫶🏻

I just put a brand new, unopened bag of bread right into the freezer. When I want to thaw it, I just pull it out and leave it on the table for about half a day. The bread comes out just as moist and tender as fresh. Maybe I'm just lucky with the brands I use, but it's always worked for me. If you've already opened the bag once, that may be a different story...

i like this channel full of usefull information.

Thanks for the tips Question Am i suppose to keep bread in the fridge or out side after doing so ?

To freeze bread for long periods it has to be double sealed, with the inner wrapping being air tight. Some breads come this way such as Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse breads.

Thank you oh so much

can you please help me with where you store it after the end where after you extract the air? do you put it in the freezer, fridge or keep out in the open? on another note, I've used the ice cube trick of packing paper bags with ice cubes and keeping them frozen and when you take them out they don't stick. can you put the bread in a paper bag and freeze it and avoid the icing issue? I'll try it but if you might know already that would be excellent. thank you.

Mike, we have a problem getting fresh bread to begin with. Is there something we can do to put moisture back into dry bread we just bought. We have purchased different brands etc.

Awesome video man 😎

Great tip,, 👍

Good explanation 🙏

How wr str gren coriander and mint when i frez these item its colour and tast changed what i do plz guide...thanks yur all tips are very useful

So besutyful informative video sir love from india 🙏

Thanks I'll give it a try. Say hi to Tobi.

Would vacuum sealing (all be it lightly, so as not to crush the loaf) deliver the same result?

Good idea. I split my loaves in half using two bags, then freeze. Maybe I’ll try this with a frozen loaf so it doesn’t smoosh into odd shapes. ;)

That very sticky cling wrap ( forget the actual name, Press and Seal ? ) is the best and only great way to wrap up a baked cake ( no icing) and I think that it would work for bread , too.

I don't have any issues with freezing bread, although I do put it in a carrier bag first. Then, before it's totally frozen give it a bit of a shake to stop the slices freezing to each other. Hardly ever had any issues breaking off how many slices I need, the bread tastes as fresh as the day I bought it, so for me at least, this extra step is unnecessary and too much of a risk of soggy bread.

Interesting! I use this same "water displacement technique" to get ALL of the air out of Ziploc freezer bags for everything from meats to baked goods like English muffins of which I can fit 14 in a gallon bag. They freeze perfectly and when defrosted you can't even tell they've been frozen.

I take the bread from the freezer, and put it in the lower half to thaw for a day before using, and to keep bread fresh while in the fridge, squeeze all the air from the bag first, helps to keep bread fresh all week.

To refresh hard Italian bread, dunk it in water for a few seconds then put it in a 375 degree oven for 8 -9 minutes and the bread will taste just baked. -I do this all the time for my homemade bread.

how bout if you freeze the bread then do the soak thing...would it keep the bread shape better...i just did that...

I've been freezing bread for about 10 yrs without any problems of ice crystals or drying out. Before I freeze I let the air out of the bad and retie it closed. I then freeze up to 2-3 months. When thawing I lay it in the dish drainer so the air can circulate around it. After a few hours of it being completely thawed I open the bag and let a little air in, then retie again. This trick seems to dry out any moisture that may have collected in the bag. By the end of the day, the bread is as soft as the day it was bought. No dried out crust, and no soggy bottom crust either, also no freezer taste whatsoever. The best part is the bread does not mold for 2 weeks plus. For 10 yrs never had a loaf that wasn't in great condition to eat. I also freeze gallons of milk, but the not going bad isn't the same as it is for bread, milk will still spoil after thawing but not any sooner than prior. Btw the water bath method is too much trouble, and you end up with crushed bread.

Good tip but I subscribed for the simple fact that you said if I'm new have a look around and if I like what I see, then subscribe. Unlike everyone else tells you to subscribe and like the video before you've even seen it... Right after asking if you're new to the channel. And I love to cook so I will be watching more videos.

,,GREAT TIP...bread at my place doesn't sit long enough to get stale or moldy..lol..keep safe...

Hi Mike, I have found that different brands freeze better than others. You just have to experiment!

I freeze bread by wrapping each slice in wax paper and then wrapping it in aluminium foil. Then I put it back in the bag it came in. It takes less than 30 minutes to defrost. Still tastes great, too. 🙂

I was thinking that deal with the pan of water can be a pain empty and fill. So I simply suck the air out using the foodsaver attachment. It's fast and no mess.

Looks like this method would work for any number of items to be frozen in plastic bags. Nice tip!

The bread looks squished I am OCD I want my bread square. Could you use straw and gently suck the air out until wrap tighter but not compressed

I also push the air out of the bag before putting it in the freezer, less hassle and works just fine

To be technical, this method is called the "Archimedes' principle", and it's used for sous vide in place of a vacuum sealer.

You can also freeze the bread and then thaw it in your microwave oven (do not turn it on) until it thaws out. I have been doing this for about a year and only had one time it failed. That was my fault because I didn’t let it thaw completely out before I used it. Putting it on the counter dries out the bread.

will the bread set go back to its normal self or stay smooched?

Just an idea, what if we use a straw in the plastic bag to extract the air, and then close bag tightly?

If you don't want to go thru the trouble buy cinnamon bread, cinnamon is a natural anti-fungus agent. Learn that when after having my regular breads constantly getting mold within 1-3 days but the cinnamon bread I had for weeks with no problem.

😍

Doesn’t the bread get wet when submerging it in water?

My mom's little dog's name is Toby. 😂👍🏼

You could also just suck the air out. That's what I do with zipper baggies where I want to keep stuff fresh inside it. Suck the air out of the smallest hole you can make and quickly close it up.

Take the bread rolls bagels spray a little water on the paper towel fold paper towel around the bread for10 seconds or so it will come out softer to eat

What about homemade bread I keep in fridge?

anyone know if the bread regains its shape after thawing or are the slices then misshapen because of being smooshed?

I always keep bread in the freezer, if necessary I take out a couple of pieces, throw them into the micro for a couple of seconds and that's it.

I double wrap my bread and it keeps really well in the fridge.

Just keep bread in ziplock bags in the frig. It'll last much longer than at room temp.

My bread bag was not waterproof! FY Lisa in SC!

What I do is, put my bread in a plastic bag, then put that in a paper bag which I also put in a plastic bag, and put the whole thing in the FRIDGE, not the freezer. It keeps a long time that way.😊

This is how I store my chicken. I guess it works for bread too.

Has anyone tried to vacuum seal a loaf of sandwich bread? I’m afraid it will not come back to its original size and flat

Hmmm. Before pressing the bag into hot water, make sure it is not leaking, or …

I would love to try this, but I'm really hoping that there's not any miniscule holes in the plastic. 😁😂

Lol does this really work ? I just spent $6 on aloaf of keto bread

Science.

And you'll get to find out if there's a hole in the bag.

Is it safe to say that this is a DIY technique for vacuum sealing without having to buy an expensive vacuum sealer machine?

Great idea...but I use a straw and suck out the air. Just don't blow in.

so essentially, vacuumpack it

Santa is real y'all

JUST FREEZE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Better be sure there are no holes in the bag😵‍💫

The bread is all warped! How about just sucking the air out of the bag using a straw?

Exactly frozen bread is ruined bread and it’s obvious these people that freeze bread thinking they saving money are just stupid.I hate when food pantries give out frozen bread thinking they helping the poor it’s inedible before you can even get home!

I threw away a half loaf of bread once because it SHOULD have been molded and wasn't! Pure preservatives. I wish I could remember the brand.. sorry.

It didn't mention what to do afterwards; back in freezer? In the pantry? Anyway this just created one more daily spouse squabble that I certainly didn't need, so I just threw it back in the freezer. Piece of advice that you hear ALL THE TIME. Never, ever get married, at least until you're 90. Especially for men, because by then you don't expect anything you thought was coming with marriage. And I guess don't buy more bread than you'll eat in a week. God, please take me now.

Why not just suck all the air out!

When did George Lucas pick up a hillbilly accent and start making lane RU-vid videos?

white bread is very unhealthy.
