kimchi exploded. Is it safe to eat?
I made kimchi for the first time recently and put it into mason jars that I sat on my counter for a day in a half. I noticed this morning on one of jars the metal lid was completely bent up and leaking from the sides. It was slightly bent off of the the threads and I almost couldn’t open it. I tried to open it slowly to let the gases releases but it ended up exploding everywhere. I’m worried since it wasn’t completely sealed for some time it might not be safe to eat? If it is, will it bubble up again like this in my fridge?
