I'm about to make banana bread....in the next hour. Definitely using method C

I was getting a sudden supply of very green bananas, and instead of having none to eat now, and waiting a week or more for them to ripen all at once leaving me with an over abundance, I tried the following. I removed what I needed to eat from the bunch, cut them in half, and in a couple of days more or less, all depending on how green they were, the halves were ripe. Since it worked so well, I then made a habit of cutting a few every day, so I ended up with bananas every day. Simple and very affective.

Looks more "naturally" ripened in the Paper Bag TBH.
But great tips!

I used the.oven method and it worked good. After 10 minutes I flipped it. Using a convection oven it took no longer than 15 minutes.

My bananas are green/rock hard after a week. They won’t ripen. Someone told me they were probably picked too early which stunted the ripening process. I tried the bag and the baking process and no results.
Are these worth saving?

She kinda looks like Kimmy Gibbler from full house

Your right tho

[@divinemasculineenergy9773]

But it on your dashboard in the car when the sun is out and watch it become black in two hours. I learned this by accident on my lunch break.

I think this only works with ripe bananas to make them over-ripe. Green bananas still take time.

🍌🍌🍌🍌 What great day for you and your show! Bananas, anyone?! 🍌🍌🍌🍌

[@gravemind9793]

No temp for oven? Gj tho.

[@ralphdaub]

300 degrees

[@joelizdalmasi7643]

300 for 30mins

[@annettezaleski]

@@ralphdaub if you plan on making banana bread with your ripened banana...mushy

[@fannyfreckle]

Didn’t work. I used method C and YES, the banana’s look just like she shows ON THE OUTSIDE, but it actually does nothing to bring out that intense banana flavor and zero color either. My muffins looked and tasted like plain muffins. But I appreciated her effort. 🤷‍♀️ I posted this on other similar videos so folks would know…not meant to be a criticism, but it’s helpful to have realistic expectations. So far, natural ripening for longer gets the best flavor. Fast is not helpful if the flavor is missing.
Let me know if you found anything that works on the inside. Maybe if I do the oven method in the morning the use the banana many hours later or the next day?

Looks awful tbh! Just put the bananas in a ziplock bag with some apples leave it for 24 hours and you get perfectly ripen banana!
