Manufacturer's Description
Cream ceramic bread bin with a beech breadboard lid.
"I have never been able to find a bread bin that I liked the look of; everything around is either too trad or too chillingly and self-consciously contemporary. And I wanted a wooden lid to double as a breadboard so that it would be functional as well as beautiful." --Nigella Lawson

NIGELLA LAWSON'S LIVING KITCHEN
Nigella Lawson is one of the UK's most popular food writers and broadcasters. Her range of kitchenware items, designed in collaboration with Sebastian Conran of Conran & Partners, was launched in 2002. Her day to day experience in the kitchen led to her desire to improve the tools of her trade; the result is an original, practical and stylish range of kitchen items ideal for today's home cook. Paying close attention to form, materials and colour, the Living Kitchen collection is of a high production and design standard. Traditional materials such as ceramic and wood are used in a contemporary and imaginative way, improving the function of the products. Delightful to use and a pleasure to display in the kitchen; as Nigella herself writes:- "Everything has to be utterly reliable, but there needs to be a pleasure beyond the functional. For me, pieces of kitchen equipment are like toys for grown ups: getting them has to feel like a treat." From household favourites such as mixing bowls in Nigella's signature colours of "white with soul" cream or duck egg "good mood" blue, to elegantly curved cooking tongs, each item brings something new and useful to the kitchen. Sophisticated packaging makes Living Kitchen products ideal to give as gifts, or as a personal treat.

Customer Reviews

at last - the perfect bread bin (at a price!)..
Hesitated about spending so much on a bread bin but absolutely delighted.

Very roomy without taking up too much space - very attractive - and I love the fact that I no longer need a bread board lying around the kitchen. As you turn it over to cut the bread, the top does not get scratched and damaged so looks good after months of use - though it took some time to get the family to remember to turn it over each time!!

The best thing is that I finally have a bread bin that is easy to clean out and doesn't leave breadcrumbs everywhere - all my previous hinged-lid ones have annoying gaps that crumbs love to escape through!

Only problem is that I have a granite worktop and porcelain floor so have to be VERY careful not to let the bin slip, especially when lifting it to clean out - and it is quite heavy.

Reluctantto add to N.L.'s millions but she has done it again and this is a superb product......Interesting that it took a woman to come up with the best design!

warped
we bought ours from John Lewis. The lid warped within a month, very frustrating. I took it back to the shop, who were evidently aware of the issue because Nigella had prepped them with a whole batch of extra lids, apparently in expectation of my (and others') visits. I took the new lid home but this warped within only a few days. Life then became too short so I took the whole thing back for a refund, readily given. Shame, because it looks lovely - but with a warped lid, it's pointless!

Stylish and roomy
I spent a long time trying to find a bread bin that looked nice, would be easy to clean and could also hold a reasonable quantity of bread. This item succeeds in all of these areas.

I had the same experience as many other reviewers with this bread bin - the lids are not very well made. In addition to not fitting very well, the first two lids that I had split within a few days of delivery, which I do not consider is very acceptable with such an expensive product. My last replacement bin has been in use for around three years and has a good fitting lid that does not rock on the base - but I went to a store and checked the lid fitted properly before I bought it.
