  1. Lay bread, as soon as it is perfectly cold, into a large earthen pan with a cover.
  2. Keep the pan free from crumbs, and frequently scald it, then wipe it very dry for use.
  3. Loaves which have been cut should have a smaller pan appropriated to them, and this also should have the loose crumbs wiped from it daily.
  4. It is a good plan to raise the bread-pans from the floor of the larder, when there is no proper stand or frame for the purpose, by means of two flat wedges of wood, so as to allow a current of air to pass under them.
Original Text
TO KEEP BREAD. Bread requires almost as much care as milk to preserve it wholesome and fresh. It should be laid, as soon as it is perfectly cold, into a large earthen pan with a cover, which should be kept free from crumbs, and be frequently scalded, and then wiped very dry for use. Loaves which have been cut should have a smaller pan appropriated to them, and this also should have the loose crumbs wiped from it daily. It is a good plan to raise the bread-pans from the floor of the larder, when there is no proper stand or frame for the purpose, by means of two flat wedges of wood, so as to allow a current of air to pass under them.
