I had a professor (psychology I think) once ask the class if they were presented with a toilet bowl full of water and guaranteed it was brand new and never used, would they drink the water? This sort of falls into that, and maybe it wouldn't be quite as bad if it was covered, or a food container of that size. But it feels wrong as presented.
The toilet factory does NOT have to abide by the same cleanliness standards for food containers. In fact I think the answer is no even for a brand new [unwashed] cup.
The worst "food poisoning" I have ever had was from drinking from a brand new, unwashed cup. I violently vomited for hours before falling asleep for almost 2 days straight
The one without the sliding humidity seal is a crisper the one that's often to the right of that is for perishables that could leak. Also gross, this is why I find it hard to eat food I didn't make myself.
Just straight up wrong fam. Them bitches get all crispy an shit when you cook em right and the seasoning can make even the most stubborn forget they're eating something with "green" in the name.
I think it really depends on preparation. It's one of those dishes that varies wildly in how good it is based on a few simple things. Canned green beans? The casserole can't be saved, green beans are one of the worst foods to buy canned that a lot of people still do. Frozen green beans? You can make it good, but you've gotta do some doing. Fresh green beans? Even a mid recipe will be pretty dang good, but then you get it good and crispy and maybe you upgrade to a homemade cream of mushroom, and yeah it can steal the show. But people use canned green beans because nobody really likes it and it's just there to be a traditional vegetable option and so they don't know how little effort it needs to be drastically better.
Give fresh a try. Canned green beans tend towards mushy where fresh have some crispness. A lot of people who like it swear by some trick, and I really think that upgrading the beans is the best strategy, upgrading the soup is risky with good payoff if you do it well, and upgrading the onions is something that I always see people suggest whenever fried onions appear and it's a crazy increase in effort for at absolute best, very little improvement.
But what do I know I'm the cheese and potato casserole/mac and cheese relative.
There is an art to preparing vegetables - a greenbean side could be done up in a fancy fat (butter at least), salt, and a good sauté, but if they dumped factory canned 'beans in water' into a saucer, heat, and serve as a dish? That's basically a slap in the face.

No.

I hope he didn’t wash the seasoning out of that tub before he prepared this.

On Food Network, the fancy chefs call that "fond."

Extract?

I want a tiny bottle of green bean casserole extract, so I can make cookies that taste like green bean casserole.

Is that a refrigerator crisper drawer? Lol
ivanafterall@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 271d
It's just one of my refrigerator's built-in food drawers. They slide out. Maybe my model is fancier than I realized, I thought they were common.
Realspecialguy@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 270d
They're common enough... its putting 10 pounds of green beans casserole in a crisper drawer, thats uncommon.
Its funny and all on the internet, but OP is showing some worrying signs for mental health.

Green bean casserole is one of my top 3 favorite thanksgiving dishes since first trying it a few years ago, and I use canned French cut green beans

I used to hate it, then one year someone brought raw greenbeans. no salt, no ham, nothing. just raw dogging greenbeans.
I hate greenbeans.
I'll take overly cooked greenbeans that taste like soup and onions any day now.
