Guest guest Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share 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 Share 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 Share 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.
