Dumb question, but how long is recommended that you freeze rice to kill the weevil eggs?

I would think 1-4 weeks would be plenty. I do try and keep my freezer below 10 degrees.

How are you gonna package it for freezing?
Izzy, I think its about temperature, not time. Once its frozen, its frozen. Kinda like boiling water. How long should you boil it? Doesn't matter cause once its boiling, its 212 degrees. One minute should be as good as 12 hours. IMHO
That only works if you are flash freezing I would think. When you are canning and use a hot water bath you have to boil the jars for a certain amount of time depending upon what it is you are making and what size jars you are using. I don't think your theory is sound. Time does come into play.Originally Posted by piranha2
You can put it into the oven at 140 degrees for 15 minutes if you want or 0 degrees for 3 days.

BTW...NO question is dumb here except for the one not asked. That's why we are here.
I stand corrected.
Thanks Lady!
