It is possible to make bananas last longer by freezing them so you can use them whenever you want.Bananas can be frozen with the skin on or off.It's fairly easy to thaw bananas once they're frozen.Your bananas will be ready to eat soon, with a few tricks on your side.
Step 1: The bananas should be put in a bowl.
Put all your bananas in a big bowl.If you can, spread the bananas out so they aren't grouped together.As the bananas begin to thaw, they will inevitably leak some liquid, which is why putting them in the bowl is really useful.If you don't have a bowl, you can put the bananas in a bag.You can use this bag if you froze bananas in a bag.If you're worried about flies or other bugs, cover the bowl with foil or plastic wrap.
Step 2: The bananas should be left to sit for two hours.
As they become fully thawed out, try to time it so that you are ready to use them.If you want to make the bowl go faster, put it somewhere that gets a lot of light.Depending on the climate you are in, it may take more time or less time to let the bananas sit for 2 hours.
Step 3: Remove the banana peel with a paring knife.
The bananas should be flipped upside down so the brown tip is facing upward.Carefully shave down the side of the banana to make sure you don't take too much flesh.Take the peel away from you so your hands are not in danger.A paring knife is good for peeling and shaping.A regular chef's knife will do just fine if you don't have one.
Step 4: The bananas should be in a bag.
If you don't have a bag, you can use a plastic bowl or something similar.A paper bag won't work because it will fall apart.The reason for putting the bananas in a bag is to make sure that the water you put in to thaw doesn't affect the banana's flavor.If you peeled the bananas before freezing them, this is important.The peels can be on or off, but it's simpler to leave them on.
Step 5: The bag of bananas should be submerged in a bowl of water.
The water needs to be cool so that you can put your hands in it.If you spread the bananas out, they will have as much exposure to the water as possible.The water increases the temperature of the bananas to help them thaw.You should submerge the bananas in the water.
Step 6: Leave the bananas for a while.
If you want to speed up the process, you can change the water after 5 minutes.Before you take the bananas out, make sure to check how firm they are.Pick one up and squeeze it.Continue to thaw it if it still feels frozen.
Step 7: The bananas can be microwaved for 3-4 minutes.
If you want to thaw your bananas quickly, this is the option.You can put the bananas in a plastic or ceramic bowl if you don't have a bag.Don't put metal in the microwave.After a few minutes, stop the microwave to make sure the bananas are done.Food items can easily start to cook in microwaves if the microwave is set to low.A partially cooked banana is the last thing you want.
