FAQs
Is the entire bread box dishwasher safe?
No, only the plastic base is dishwasher safe. The bamboo lid must be hand-washed and air-dried.
What are the dimensions of the bread box?
The box measures 294 mm in width, 194 mm in depth, and 107 mm in height.
Can I store cakes or pastries in the box?
Yes, the box is perfect for storing pastries, rolls, and other baked goods in addition to traditional bread loaves.
Is the plastic BPA-free?
Yes, the unit is constructed from high-quality, BPA-free plastic.
Will the bamboo lid warp if it gets wet?
Bamboo is a natural material and can be sensitive to moisture. Avoid soaking it and wipe it dry immediately if it gets wet.
Does the bread box provide a completely airtight seal?
It is designed to keep bread fresh by providing a controlled environment, but it is not vacuum-sealed.
Troubleshooting
Lid feels tight or difficult to remove
Ensure no bread debris is trapped in the rim of the plastic base; clear the edges to allow a smooth fit.
Bamboo lid appears dry or dull
Apply a small amount of food-grade mineral oil to the bamboo surface and buff it with a dry cloth.
Bread is molding faster than expected
Ensure the bread is completely cool before placing it in the box to prevent moisture buildup (condensation).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your Bodum BISTRO Bread Box is simple: remove the packaging, wash the base in the dishwasher or with warm soapy water, and wipe the bamboo lid with a damp cloth before initial use. To ensure the longevity of the product, avoid submerging the bamboo lid in water for extended periods, as this can cause warping or cracking. Treat the bamboo periodically with food-safe mineral oil to keep the wood supple and resistant to moisture. The container is designed for indoor, room-temperature storage, ideally placed on a dry, flat kitchen surface away from direct heat sources like an oven or toaster to maintain the integrity of the bread.
