Bread can be used to pick up small pieces of broken glass, keep cake fresh by placing slices between layers, and absorb smells from cooking cabbage or broccoli by placing a slice on top of the pan. Bread can also prevent fat from grilling meat from catching fire by placing slices on the grill, and can gently remove dust, grime or dirt from oil paintings and wipe dirty fingerprints from painted walls by rubbing soft bread on surfaces.
