mthor Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I found a can of green beans in the freezer last night, probably frozen solid. (Don't ask me why it was in there, even though there's a distinct possibility that I'm the guilty party, because I don't know.) I took it out of the freezer and put it in the sink, where it has thawed. The question is, is it worth keeping? I think it's safe to open - I mean, if it was going to explode, it'd have done so in the freezer, right? But will the contents be intact or will the combined effects of canning, freezing, and thawing have turned green beans into green slime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seight Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 A quick Google search says it's fine as long as the beans haven't changed appearance or don't have ice crystals on them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignoring everything I struck out, but I can definitely relate to corn on the cob being superior to off the cob. I'm assuming the reason is any time I have it off the cob is it's frozen while the on-the-cob corn isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
