abwsco Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Daft question but can I freeze leftover tinned kidney beans I'm doing a nice hot chilli for tea but haven't got enough mince to make up double the quantity so wondered if I could freeze half the tin. Could buy more mince but I don't want to as I'm using organic mince from my Ocado delivery and can't get any more organic around here. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 If you cook pulses and you aren't going to eat them immediately, cool them as quickly as possible and then refrigerate or freeze them. You shouldn't leave out pulses (or other cooked foods) at room temperature because this could allow bacteria to grow and multiply. If you keep cooked pulses in the fridge, eat them within two days. If you freeze them, it should be safe to keep them for a long time, providing they stay frozen. However, keeping food frozen for too long can affect its taste and texture, so it's a good idea to follow the freezer manufacturer's instructions about how long to store certain foods. http://www.eatwell.gov.uk/asksam/keepingfoodsafe/asksamstoringpreparing/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
