FAQs
What materials is the Alessi BG03WG bread box made from?
The bread box is constructed from stainless steel with epoxy resin and a bamboo wood lid.
Can the lid be used as a cutting board?
Yes, the bamboo lid is designed to be used as a cutting surface for slicing bread.
How should I clean the bread box?
The steel/resin body can be wiped with a damp cloth. The bamboo lid must be hand-washed and dried thoroughly. Do not use a dishwasher for either part.
Is the bread box dishwasher safe?
No, neither the body nor the bamboo lid is dishwasher safe. Hand washing is required for the lid, and the body should be wiped clean.
What are the dimensions of the bread box?
The bread box measures 340 mm in width, 210 mm in depth, and 140 mm in height.
Can I store more than just bread in this box?
While designed for bread, you can store other baked goods or items that fit within its dimensions. However, be mindful of potential staining on the bamboo lid from certain foods.
Does the bread box help keep bread fresh?
Yes, it provides a dedicated space to keep bread, helping to maintain its freshness longer than if left exposed.
Troubleshooting
Bread becomes stale quickly
Ensure the lid is properly sealed. Check for any gaps. While designed for freshness, bread's longevity also depends on ambient humidity and the type of bread.
Bamboo lid shows signs of drying or cracking
Hand wash and dry the lid immediately after use. Apply a food-grade mineral oil to the bamboo periodically to keep it moisturized. Avoid dishwashers and excessive moisture.
Scratches on the steel/resin body
Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive materials. Minor scratches are a possibility with daily use on metallic surfaces.
The lid doesn't fit snugly
Ensure there are no crumbs or debris preventing a proper seal. Check if the lid is oriented correctly. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
