sidered a "cool" Idea, especially
for July "Sandwich Month" when
lunches often suffer from hot
weather, the specialist reports.
Miss Kolshorn says the best
way to keep bread fresh and
avoid staling is to keep it frozen
in the freezer the frozen food
compartment, or even the ice
cube compartment of the refrigerator.
Many families purchase a sup
ply of bread for a week or two
and keep it In their freezers, says
the spe. alist. Frozen sliced
loaves are especially convenient
because the slices separate read
ily without thawing and may be
used frozen not only for sand
wiches but also for toasting. A
frozen loaf thaws in 3 or 4 hours
at room temperature. Frozen
slices thaw more quickly.
