Canned corn has a large amount of sweet corn kernels, which are very convenient for salad, cold salad, hot stir-frying and other dishes, but if you can't sometimes use up a whole can of corn kernels at one time, how can the remaining corn kernels be preserved better?
After the canned corn is opened, how do you refrigerate the unused corn kernels?
If you want to refrigerate the remaining corn kernels in the canned corn, please move the corn kernels together with the soup in the jar to a container such as a crisper box, and then store them in the refrigerator and eat them within 2~3 days. If you don't want to leave the soup that can be used in the dish, you can also strain the soup and only refrigerate the corn kernels.
Why isn't it advisable to store the corn kernels directly in canned food? Once the common tinplate cans are opened, the tin plating layer on the inner layer may dissolve and affect the taste of the food in the can, so it is recommended to transfer the unused corn kernels to a crisper or other suitable container for refrigeration.
After the canned corn is opened, how do I freeze the unused corn kernels?
If you can't consume the unused canned corn kernels within 2~3 days, it is recommended to put them in the refrigerator and freeze them, which can be stored for about 1 month.
When you want to freeze canned corn kernels, please filter out the soup in the can, then spread the corn kernels flat in a free-keeping zipper bag that can be frozen, try to drain the air in the bag, seal the bag mouth, and put it flat in the freezer for preservation. After 30 minutes of freezing, you can take the zipper bag out of the freezer along with the corn kernels, and then use your hands to break up the corn kernels in the bag from the outside of the bag, and then put it back to freeze, so as to avoid the corn kernels sticking together after freezing.
If you know in advance the amount of corn to be used each time, you can also wrap the corn kernels in batches with refrigerable plastic wrap or plastic bag, and then put them in a free-keeping zipper bag, try to discharge the air in the bag and seal the bag, and then put it in the refrigerator for freezing.
