Is a can of Spam wet enough to pop its can when it freezes, or can it traverse freezing temps with impunity?

If no one has an answer, I say, take a can, seal it in a much larger Ziploc and chuck it in the freezer. Then let us know in a few days what happened.

Doh!
I'll have to do that this weekend. Need to pick up some spam first.
I wish I could think of the simple solutions first frown

They also make Spam in single use foil package, it’s enough for one sandwich and sells for .99 cents. It would open when frozen.


But I have to ask, how you going to eat a block of frozen meat? Cooking it will likely burn the outside before you thaw the inside. Boiling it would work, but then this would also work for the whole can. As long as you put the can in warm water and not let the water boil to much so the can doesn’t explode it would work. The foil package of Spam would thaw quickly in boiling water or even work if fried as it’s only 3/8 inch thick.


Better to sleep with it in your sleeping bag with you or carry it under your coat in a shirt pocket to keep it from freezing.

The kids in the slaughter house call it 'teats, tails and touch holes", but it includes lungs, assorted organs, and anything else that falls into the grinder and lacks the agility to jump back out. At that, its more wholesome than the stuff that goes into Vienna sausage.

Just curious, but why would you freeze something which has such a long shelf life to start with? Or were you just wondering?

Hey, easy now. These were a treat growing up. Just like a kid afraid to look under his bed at night in fear of what he may see. I am afraid to look at the list of ingredients on Vienna sausages. They sure are good while camping though.
