Frozen flour - still ok to use??

annaangeluk_2

After reading the tips on here about putting bags of flour into the freezer for 24 hours to kill any beasties, I thought I'd give it a try. Trouble is it's been left in there for about 3 days! I totally forgot about it!

Will this still be okay to use?

Thanks

Hi

I keep flour in the freezer all the time and just take some out when i need it, so yours will be fine.

I do this after having to throw a load out that had weevils:mad: . It doesn't seem to affect it in any way.

I wonder about this frozen flour I would think if you leave it in the fridge then remove as you need it, it'll be fine. If you freeze for 24 hours, then take it out and keep it on the shelf, won't condensation form in the flour, possibly leading to it going rancid more quickly

I don't know the answer to this - flour here gets used quickly. Freezing doesn't remove any weevils, just kills them, which cooking does just as well
