Yep, softening is not the same as ripening(which involves sugar conversion). This process just softens the bananas, but sometimes that's all a person needs for a particular recipe as long as they weren't using green bananas.
@@lennydelvecchio7716 honestly if your bananas arent green and are in the first stage of ripening but they aren't "unripe" those are better to use for this kind of hack. I definitely agree I wouldn't use green bananas with the oven trick.
@@IDrawToothpicks I actually tried it with yellow bananas and all it did was soften them. It did nothing to ripen them. I'd wager the fastest way to ripen them is to put them in a paper bag with an apple or two, which have heavy ethylene offgassing.
As a U.K. citizen who is currently living abroad- all bananas in the U.K. are certainly not habitually sold green but they are - since Brexit ‘happened’ and still more now trade routes are being disrupted - more subject to fluctuations in availability and therefore supermarkets now have to buy them on whatever basis they can - even if it means they are not yet edible 😢
@@Unbound-Phoenix so my comment is a bit old at this point, I've recently found more yellow bananas this past year than I had previously. Still nothing banana bread quality, and trying to ripen them naturally doesn't work, as they mold before being ripe enough. So this trick still works well in our house.
@@trudybognar4748did you use green bananas ? Mine are in the first stage of ripening but not overripe . Some people say it doesn't work. How were your bananas when you made yours?
King Arthur Baking says "don't go there" . They said they look ripe and mushy, but they taste green.

That was my first concern. Look versus actually being ripe.
Thank you!!!
Thank you 😊
Thank you
Cool. Just the info I was looking for!
Thanks Jennie!
Nice
Thank you. Good tips. Just demonstrate the freezer version also when it is open.
Thank you! As an American living in the UK, all bananas are sold green. Takes a week for them to be ripe enough to eat, let alone make banana bread 😭

Most vids use a microwave and I threw that crap out of our lives in 2015!
Thanks for the easy oven tip.
Cheers!
The microwave is a useful kitchen tool.
There’s nothing wrong with a microwave, it’s perfectly healthy too (usually the things put in microwaves suck, all microwaves do is vibrate molecules)
I'd love to hear the logic behind that lol
Audio bad , music too loud
Doesn't work 😞
Correction...I added another 10 mins and came out great!!
Is it good enough for making banana cake?
@@ayu_sari it came out great for banana bread so I would think it would come out good for cake ☺️

@@IDrawToothpicks no I didn't
