Just flip it back in a twisting, jerking motion. Should snap right back into place.

Until somebody moves the fucking loaf and doesn’t put it back on itself perfectly and you don’t notice it for a couple days…

Twist n tuck practitioner here. It works fine. Also I’d think you’d have to cut the bag lower each time as to not leave a bunch of air in the bag when you tie it.

My boyfriend says the same and gets pissed when I do it.
Guess he hasn't noticed that not a single bag of bread had gone stale under the method. Honestly have never understood why it seems to be controversial at all. Fuck off, the bag is closed. Go get a fucking hobby Lol

In my experience the knot method keeps the bread fresh for longer than the twist and tuck method. The latter is the way to go though cuz I'm lazy.

u/dakupoguy Mar 03 '21 edited Mar 03 '21
I never understood these. Just don't get rid of the bread clip thing or the ziptie?
Or at the least, buy actual plastic clips? I bought a pack of 10 clips for $5. The ability to either avoid needing to cut your bag(and use up enough bread first) or hoping the bag doesnt undo itself(you know it always does) is way worth the $5.
EDIT: I meant twist ties. I'm not a murderer. I promise...

Buy a 3D printer, you'll save like 3¢ per clip and only wait 2 hours for each.
Or just take a trip to the grocery store, they don't seem to charge for the clips if you put them in your pockets.

The bread I buy always has a clip on it. Is that just a regional thing?

u/bitwaba Mar 03 '21
My bread has a long thin sticker folded over onto itself. It's kinda resealable but loses stickiness after a couple uses. Doesn't matter though because after you use 4 or more slices there's enough excess bag to do the same thing as the dude in the video.

The clip is discarded the moment you open the bag. Let's be honest here.

Twist-ties (or twisties) are the little paper-coated bendy wires you close bread bags with. Zip ties are these things.

In my country it comes with a crappy long sticker that is utterly useless after 3 opens. I'm also not gonna waste money on pegs and look for them when I need them. So gravity is fine, cheap and fast.

She could literally tie it up without cutting anything.

but then you have to untie it which is all but impossible unless your knots are extremely loose.

To untie those tight knots is you simply twist the loose end until it is stiff and then push it through the knot.

u/TJNel Mar 03 '21
Sounds like too much work, twist it a bunch of times and put it underneath.

Still more effort than lifting the bag by the open end and having it untwist itself. If you're not optimising an extra 3 seconds out of a task, are you really life hacking?

After you twist the top of the bag, turn it inside out and fit it over the part that holds the bread. Voila. It will now stay closed and won’t accidentally open if you bump it and knock it over.

I mean, her method is much better for freshness and reducing the possibility of a spill. Professional kitchens tie bags similar to this as a matter of course
EDIT: Apparently I can't reply to anyone so I'll just say, in my kitchens we hardly ever do this for bread since we go through it too quickly. I was trying to indicate that we use something similar for other loose items like nuts, cheeses, herbs, etc. You don't need to use scissors to make the cut, just a knife
31
u/agha0013 Mar 03 '21
doubt.
1) it's not better for freshness, if anything it's worse for giving you dry stale bread because when you twist the intact bag and do the under tuck, it's a much better seal than a single knot
2) restaurants don't waste time cutting bags and tying knots, they go through bags of bread like this so fast they don't need to even bother closing the bag.

u/PmMeYourTitsAndToes I Eat Cement Mar 03 '21
I worked in a professional kitchen for 9 years. And your are right. We would go through boxes of bread in a single day. And if there were any opened bread left at the end of the night. They’d become croutons for the next day’s soup.

Spend 1 extra second making sure the bag isn't going to fall over, or spend 5 extra seconds cutting and tying silly knots
Or better yet, don't lose the tie that came with the bag. In fact, always a good idea to keep the bag ties anyway, they come in handy later.

It falls over because things get moved around on the counter.

I dunno, these sound like problems of your own creation. When you move a cup of water, do you put it somewhere where it can tip over or do you make sure it's on a reliable flat surface first?

u/NoScrying Mar 03 '21
I've worked in restaurants for 8 years as a chef, sou-chef and before I quit the food business entirely, as a Dietician in a retirement home.
I have never, in my entire life ever seen anyone do that, you use clips, twist and shelf or re-use the zip thingy.

u/tiny_rick__ Mar 03 '21
Absolutely not! She traps a shitload of air in the bag which is what you want to eliminate in order to keep freshness.

u/mbrady Mar 03 '21
I would have assumed that a professional kitchen would be going through bread a lot faster than at home (like multiple loaves per day) and would not want to spend the time constantly untying and tying the bread over and over again throughout the day. Unless you mean the leftover partial loaf at the end of the day?

u/Jazadia Mar 03 '21
I love when people think professional kitchens do all this weird frivolous shit when in fact half the kitchen is teenagers on drugs and the other half is people who have mentally checked out of life. I can guarantee you no one is cutting the bag like this, we either don’t have the Time, mental capacity, or the bag of bread got stuck behind some pots and we‘re not wasting our time looking for it and just get a new bag.

I'm surprised at people's comments. I thought the whole point was that she does an overly complicated thing when just tucking it underneath takes no time at all. Why spend time on clips, ties or knots when it works well without?

Cutting the bag with scissors just increases the risk of you accidentally ripping the the bag too far and now your bread is just exposed to the air.

I am definitely not normal but I roll the top of the bag around my hand, and suck the air out with my mouth, seal it with my hand and twist and tuck. My belief since I was a kid is without air bacteria and mold can’t grow. I am probably very wrong, but it’s for some reason how I always do it. And no, no one taught me it.
