Cooking Tips
Bread refreshment
Keeping bread in the freezer can preserve its freshness. The shelf-life of bread with
stuffing is usually shorter. Defrosting bread at room temperature is not recommended
to avoid bacterial breeding.
Apart from a microwave oven, food steamer or toaster, bread can also be reheated
with a rice cooker. Steaming with the lid of the rice cooker slightly open to avoid
condensed water dripping onto and dampening the bread.
