Guest guest Posted August 10, 2006 Report Posted August 10, 2006 Angie, You will need to blanch them. Place them in boiling water for 1 minute, remove and put in ziploc bags. Use a straw to suck the air out, seal and freeze. I have done this many times and it works like a charm. charlene Freezing green beans I bought a bunch of green beans off a co-worker yesterday. We snapped and cooked them and the refrigerator is filled with green beans. Today she brought in more. I couldn't resist. But what to do with them? Freeze them raw? Cook them, then freeze them? Someone at work suggested blanching (cooking for just 2-3 minutes) and then freezing. Advice. I never took home ec and I never realize until this diet how much I needed it.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2006 Report Posted August 10, 2006 Blanch them first. You can line baking pans with parchment, foil, whatever. Spread the beans out in a single layer and freeze. Once they're frozen, you can store them in gallon size freezer bags, and just get out however much you need. Meleah Freezing green beans >I bought a bunch of green beans off a co-worker yesterday.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2006 Report Posted August 10, 2006 Yes, you'll want to blanch them first... then freeze in freezer-worthy ziplocks or whatever container you normally use. Wish I had access to a boatload of fresh green beans! Sounds like a great bonus. Patti Freezing green beans I bought a bunch of green beans off a co-worker yesterday.
