A slightly oval melamine bread box of Danish design has a clever bamboo lid that doubles as a cutting board: smooth on one side, ridged on the other. It comes in white, gray or dark blue. A companion butter keeper is squared off, so it will easily hold a half-pound slab and is equipped with an insert that’s easy to clean.
