How long does coconut milk (out of a can) last in the firdge? I put
them ina bowl and covered it with saran wrap becayse at the time, the
containers were dirty. Now, I don't want to transfer but how soon
should I use it.

Is freezing a recommendation if I don't use it soon?

If it was NOT in the can longer than a day and in new clean
containers under 6
It has been my experience ok to freeze -No problems ever

In fact I decant into ice block trays and just take how many blocks I
need later on .
Hope that helps

It certainly DOES help.
I had never thought about freezing coconut milk.

When I had no choice than to use large cans of coconut milk for making
my version of what the kids used to call "Poison Crew," I could keep
the leftover milk in the fridge in a glass bowl or glass covered with
plastic wrap for up to four days if I thought I'd be using it for more
fish.

If not, I'd freeze it ... but it tended to separate and turn a sort of
grey colour and separate as it defrosted. Then I'd gently mix it with
a fork until it more or less returned to it's original state. Tasted
fine though.

BTW - I always use the "lite" coconut milk rather than coconut cream
because, despite thinking it would be otherwise, the milk tasted
richer to me, as well as the people who shared the "Poison Crew.".

Today is the third day. Since I opended it and transferred to the bowl
immediately.
I am going to use it tomorrow or tonight.

I'd prefer to not freeze it; I think the taste would chnage.

Freezing is ok if you use a good sealed container (tupperware,
anchor-hocking, etc). Put some saran-wrap right on the surface to help
prevent odor absorbtion. I've bought frozen coconut cream from Asian
markets, so it's ok.

I never thought of buying that. I did buy shredded coconut and ate it
with sweet rice but I am avoiding such treats these days.

Thank you for the heads-up. Benefiting from other people's experience
is one of the main reasons I enjoy this ng. Even though I put plastic
wrap on the surface of my guacamole before refrigerating, I never
thought to use this method before freezing coconut milk. Can't wait to
try it out. b
