1) It is best not to store a bread box or otherwise store bread or other parve pastries on a shelf under an oven or stove, lest meat or dairy food particles will splatter or fall onto the bread and thus make it lose its parve status.
Likewise, it's best not to store breads on top of an oven or stove as the steam from the items being cooked in the oven or on the stove may reach the bread and cause it to become meat or dairy. (See Shulchan Aruch Yoreh Deah Siman 92:8)
2) A cutting board that is designated for cutting bread should be kept away from meat and dairy foods.
Also, this cutting board should not be placed on the table and used to hold the bread during the meal, and definitely no butter or gravy should be smeared on the bread while it is on this parve cutting board.

QUESTION & ANSWER CORNER
Reader Submitted Questions of interest on topics related to Halachos we covered, as well as other interesting topic and Answers. Taken from the Q & A pages on the Halacha For Todaywebsite.
Although the answers I give to questions are taken directly from the Sifrei HaPoskim, and aren't my own, they are still for study purposes only, NOT for Psak Halacha.
Are spices, like garlic or onion powder considered a sharp food?
Answer:
Usually not, unless they are extraordinarily strong like vinegar. And even then, according to many Poskim Davar Charif (sharp foods)is only a problem when it is cut with a knife, which you can't do by spices. (See Taz Siman 96:3)
Our holy sages, the Chazal tell us
תנא דבי אליהו כל השונה הלכות בכל יום מובטח לו שהוא בן עולם הבא, שנאמר הליכות עולם לו, אל תקרי הליכות אלא הלכות - one who studies [at least two] Halachos daily is assured a portion in Olam Haba - the world to come. (:מגילה כ"ח )
