When you’re ready to eat your frozen baked beans, a little bit of planning ahead can really pay off. Try to take the beans out of the freezer at least eight hours before you intend to use them. This will give the beans plenty of time to thaw. However, if you don’t have the luxury of time, you can also thaw your baked beans in the microwave. Simply use the defrost function and stop to stir regularly. Once your beans are thawed, stop the microwave and put them in a pan to reheat them in the oven. This can usually be done in just ten minutes.
