BODUM 11555-01 is a black plastic bread box with external dimensions of 364×234×137 mm, designed to store bread and other baked goods in a covered space. The single-piece lightweight construction protects contents from dust and kitchen contaminants while allowing straightforward placement on countertops or inside cabinets. The smooth plastic surfaces make it easy to clean by hand with a damp cloth or mild detergent.
Advantages
The BODUM bread box offers compact, covered storage that helps reduce exposure to air and dust without requiring complex assembly. Its durable plastic construction is lightweight and resistant to corrosion or staining common with metal alternatives. The rectangular shape and neutral black finish provide a discreet look that integrates with various kitchen styles, and the smooth interior supports easy cleaning and maintenance.
Suitable for
- Storing whole loaves of bread and rolls
- Keeping pastries, buns, and other baked goods covered on the countertop
- Placing in kitchen cabinets where a compact storage box is needed
- Use in small kitchens, pantries, or communal office kitchenettes
When it may not be suitable
This bread box is not intended for refrigeration or freezing; it is designed for ambient indoor storage. Very large artisan loaves or oversized bakery items may not fit comfortably within the internal space given the product's external dimensions. Also, plastic construction provides less thermal insulation than thick wooden or metal models, so it will not significantly slow staling compared with climate-controlled options.

How to use
Place clean, cooled bread or baked goods inside the box and close the lid to protect from dust and incidental contact. Position the bread box on a dry, level countertop or inside a kitchen cabinet away from direct heat sources to reduce humidity fluctuations. To clean, wipe both interior and exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent, then dry thoroughly before returning bread to storage. Avoid abrasive cleaners and high-temperature dishwashers to prevent warping or surface damage.
What to consider before purchase
- Measure the typical size of loaves or baked goods you store to ensure they fit within the stated dimensions
- Decide whether plastic material and the black color suit your kitchen aesthetics and hygiene preferences
- Consider if you need additional ventilation or a model with different thermal properties for longer freshness
Usage recommendations
Store bread at room temperature in a cool, dry place and avoid placing the box near stovetops or windows with direct sunlight. For best freshness, put only fully cooled baked goods into the box and check contents daily to consume items before they become stale.
