Wesco Grandy – German Designed - Steel bread box for kitchen / storage container, Almond

I spent several days debating whether to buy a $100 bread box. It seems a little crazy, frankly. But boy am I glad I didn't settle for the cheap imitation. This thing is AWESOME.First, it is build like a tank. The metal is very thick, the enamel is heavyweight and flawless. I love the handle, the hinges, the ribs inside on the bottom. It is a great size for my counter and looks absolutely fantastic. Vintage look, but modern, too.A couple days ago I baked a loaf of bread and decided to experiment by putting it in the Wesco without any wrapping. (No bag, etc.) Well,2 days later the bread is not stale, it is still perfect. Even the cut edge hasn't dried out. It really seems like magic! I also have room for a package of English muffins and some rolls.This thing is so well made and so awesome I know it will last a lifetime. LOVE it.My only quibble is that the domed lid means that in order to open it, you have to pull it out from the wall. But since that domed lid means you can fit so much more stuff, it is worth the minor inconvenience.

We don't eat bread all that much but when we do, this bread bin is perfect at keeping our bread moist and delicious for a long while. Bread bins definitely work at keeping bread and other pastry items from becoming stale too soon. It is also convenient for hiding items that would otherwise clutter counter top space. The bin is large, attractive, heavy duty and well crafted in it's fit & finish. I was looking for a retro style box and while expensive, the German manufactured quality of it's construction was worth the investment.

I debated spending so much on this bread box, but I could not be more pleased that I did. This is a beautiful and well made item. I know there are less expensive "copies" of his breadbox, but they are made of thin metal and sometimes they come dented or a top doesn't line up perfectly with a bottom. This box has strong hinges and the lid stays open by itself when fully opened. It has a large capacity, and can easily hold a loaf of bread or two plus other pastry or bread items. The vintage European style goes nicely with a modern kitchen, and the available range of colors means it will match any counter/cabinet combination. I really love this thing!

This has a very nice quality. The color could be a bit more cherry red, as opposed to the hint of orange to it. I was also not prepared for the floor of the box to bow into the box so much. It used up a large amount of the storage I was expecting to have. I wanted it for storage other than bread.

I have had our Wesco Grandy Bread Box for a couple of weeks now. I bake a lot of our bread and this box is big enough to hold my typical 2 lb. loaf, plus a package of bagels, a loaf of my pumpkin chocolate chip bread, and a smaller size baguette loaf. It looks so much nicer than a stack of bread items in plastic bags just sitting on the counter, keeps everything out of sight and blends in with my cabinets and appliances! Plus just for the fun of it, I put large googley eyes on ours and my son named our bread box Bob. The kids just love it! Oh, and yes it does a great job of keeping our bread fresh, although I do still keep most of our bread items in some sort of bag since it gets humid where we live and bread items tend to mold in a matter of days even in bags. But for the two weeks we've had the bread box, the items in it seem to not mold quite as quickly and the bread box is a nice heavy weight so it doesn't seem like it will dent or move around on the counter. It stays put and can with stand the constant banging as my kids open and close it and trust me they aren't super gentle about it. I am very happy with this bread box and glad I added Bob to our family. :)

Gotta love a product that works as well as it looks. The Wesco bread box is big enough to hold a loaf of bread and then some. We used to have various bags of bread, rolls, and other carbs piled on the counter top and it always looked the aftermath of the lunch rush at the deli counter. The Wesco bread box conveniently corralled all of that and fits beautifully with the farmhouse decor. A couple of other nice features: the lid stays up freeing both hands and when you close the lid, it doesn't clank like a thin piece of tin (there are little plastic bumpers strategically placed so the lid closes firmly and snuggly), and the enamel coating is gorgeous and glossy. While this is a bigger box, great for a family, they make a smaller one for a twosome or single person. It's tall enough for homemade bread and almost long enough for a baguette (cut the rock hard top off and voila, it fits). And yes, everything stays nice and fresh in the box.

Wow. Where do I begin. 1st, I ordered a pink 2lb bread box. I received a yellow cookie tin in a box labeled pink bread box.WTF? 2nd, the tin is Made in China (engineered in Germany), not MADE in Germany, as it alludes in the description. 3rd, I paid $102 for this??!!! Unhappy.

I wanted a breadbox. More specifically a Wesco Grandy. I have a small one and wanted a full size to match it. I have never seen a breadbox that even comes close to the quality and beauty of Wesco. I am in Southern California, USA and the only place I could find to order this German treasure was from Austria. I was unsure of this transaction and discussed it with my husband. We decided to go for it. Long story short, it was a great experience. The Wesco arrived several days early in perfect condition. I would do business with Inandout from Austria again in a heartbeat.
