Thanks to you both for responding to my post about the spoiled corn.
As I said, it was an experiment and I am glad I took that approach. It would be a disaster to put up several hundred pounds of corn in that fashion only to find it had gone bad when a disaster strikes.
I learned something out of the deal and it only cost $11 for the corn and a few more for the mylar bags.
Based on your inputs I will buy another bag of corn and treat half of it with the freezer method and the other half with the oven method and observe the results.
If I reach any conclusions I’ll post the results on one of these prepper threads.
Just for info purposes -
We have had a couple of weevil attacks in our pantry over the years. The weevils seemed to show up in pasta and rice more than other products.
An infestation renders a lot of foods inedible and takes a lot of work to clean up.
Now we try to process all grains and grain based products through the freezer before bringing them to the pantry.
Running products through the freezer isn’t difficult with the quantities we buy for normal use but becomes more involved when dealing with 50 pound sacks of grains.
Glad you only lost $11. It’s worth it in the long run to make sure the rest of what you store is in good shape.
Yes, please let us know how the rest of the experiment goes. I still need to store some corn myself.
