I have an airtight plastic bread box. Storing cornbread in it causes
mold in 2 or 3 days. What should I store cornbread in?

Cornbread is usually very moist bread, yet if stored open to the air will dry
very quickly. Mold spores occur naturally in the air. Storing a very moist
bread at room temperature in a tightly sealed container makes for a perfect
breeding ground for the mold. I would wrap individual portions in plastic
wrap and freeze. This will preserve the moisture and freshness. Thaw and
warm just before eating.

Cornbread needs to be wrapped in plastic wrap or put in a ziplock bag with
as much air as possible squeezed out and stored in the fridge for a few
days or frozen for a longer term.
If you make dressing (the side dish served with chicken or turkey>, you
can crumble it and freeze it.
If you want slices to eat, it is better to slice it first before you
freeze it.
I don't really like warmed-over cornbread, so I don't usually keep it to
eat later. But, my dad likes cornbread and milk. When I save it for him, I
take it to him that day or the next, so I don't refrigerate or freeze it.
When I do warm it over, I wrap it in foil and put it in the oven.
Sometimes I warm a cast iron skillet on the top of the stove, cut a slice
open and warm each side in the dry pan on low heat.
Cornbread doesn't "keep" like white bread. Maybe it's additives or
something. Things that I make from white flour, like cakes, pie crusts, or
biscuits, don't "keep" but just a few days without being put in the
frige. Cornbread is real moist and it "sweats" promoting mold.

Never found a way to keep it long without slicing and freezing - and
that's really a waste of time, because it doesn't taste right to me.
And it's probably easier to just make another batch than go through
all that. Usually, there aren't any leftovers here, but when there
are, I eat some with milk, sugar and cinnamon for breakfast and the
rest goes to the birds - they seem to appreciate it.

I cut mine into servings, and wrap each in foil and stick it in the
fridge - reheat in the oven within a couple days. I LOVE old cornbread
nuked with butter and maple syrup...yum! Probably one of my favorite
breakfasts.

Hi L.
I had to tell you. You are the first person I have ever heard that
loved left over bread as much as my husband. One of his favorite ways to
eat it is , to slice it into pieces , then slice through it making two
pieces. Put a little butter or oil into a skillet . When its very hot.
Brown, the crumb side down. Turn when its brown, and fry the crust side
few seconds. Great with syrup or with scrambled eggs and country gravy
All you need is a fresh glass of orange juice. He has loved milk and
bread , since a little boy, too.

IMO, cornbread seved this way is so much tastier than pancakes or
waffles. It's really filling though - and so good it's easty to
overindulge. :) I just cut it into squares, split them, spread on some
butter and nuke for 10 seconds or so - Top with warmed syrup. Really
good with bacon or sausgae if you like those things.
Ok, now I have to go make some cornbread, LOL...

That sounds delicious, and I will try it the next time I have some
leftover!
I often eat the leftovers as my grandfather and father did, crumbled into a
tall glass, then filled with buttermilk. Eat with a spoon.

Oh my ! Now you did it ..... Talk about good memories. Nice cold glass
of fresh churned buttermilk , big hot pan of cornbread and fresh butter
from that same churning. Now, to us that's food. Kate

No, I was raised in the hills of Virginia. Still love the foods I grew
up eating. An old Indian, once told me to eat as I was raised and I'd
be happier and healthier. Don't know how true that is, but I can't fault
him for the advice. Kate

Virgina is about the only southern state I don't have relatives in. :-)
Most of mine are in MS, AL, and GA. I have to agree with the old Indian.
I'm never happier than when I'm eating foods like my mom prepared.
