How to Freeze Fresh Corn

I do, and have done A LOT of canning, freezing, and dehydrating of any and all fruits and veggies I can get a hold of, and I must say that this is by far the easiest and the best technique I have ever used! Just a suggestion; while allowing the corn to cool and dry, place a hand towel into a bowl, then place a colander on top of the hand towel inside the bowl... then put the cooked corn in standing on end to allow the water to run down and thru the colander slots. The cobs seemed to dry and cool much faster that way. Other than that, this is fantastic! I used this same method last year and the frozen corn we had tonight tasted the same as that in the bowl that I was currently working on! Thank you so much for sharing!

The ONLY way I will ever freeze corn again!!! I think the little bit of butter, really does seal the corn. A year later our corn still taste like we just picked it!! Yummy!! Highly recommend!!

Loved this, I had a large amount of corn and figured I'd give this a try....will never do corn any other way, I just opened our first bag, everyone at dinner thought it was fresh corn and wondered why I had cut it off the cob LOL.I personally found it slower to cut the corn on the pan like that, the angle was wrong, but the idea was great, if it works for you, great. Thanks for sharing such an easy and wonderful recipe.This will be the only way I freeze corn now, thanks .

Just ate the last bag of this corn recipe tonight thinking that next year I will have to put up more. I asked author if using margarine would work and I am happy to report that it does. My in-laws even "gushed" over it at T'giving and begged to have it at Christmas.

Both my DH and I agreed...the corn was over cooked and I had only initially cooked it for 2-1/2 minutes. Bonus points on using the angel food cake tin for easy cutting of the corn kernels. Costco has some decent fresh corn on the cob during the winter months, so I probably won't do this one again. Also, there was not a huge saving in costs. Sorry, I couldn't be more posititive!

I put up 20 dozen ears of silver queen white corn last month and followed the directions exactly (without the salt) and let me tell you!! Its fantastic!! I just pull a zipock freezer bag out of the freezer, break it up into a bowl and microwave for a couple of minutes. The corn is just as good as the day i froze it. Crisp and super sweet. I am thinking i might need to go and get about 10 or so more dozen because this wont last in our house. My dad keeps sneaking up here and getting a quart size bag every week. I will NEVER do corn any other way EVER!! As far as i am concerned there is no other way but this way. I cant thank you enough for this recipe especially when it gets to be winter and i can pull a little but of summer out of the freezer. This is the best recipe i have ever used from Zaar!! UPDATE: Its now December and i still have corn and its still just as crisp and flavorful as it was the day i froze it. Not soggy at all!

This is only a partial rating for now. I put the corn up yesterday, and it was very easy. I blanced the cobs using the 'dishwasher' method as mentioned by Nana Chickens. I've only ever frozen corn on the cob, so this was new for me. I had 19 cobs of 'Valley Super Sweet' and ended up with 8 bags containing 2 cups each. I'll come back later when we actually eat it. Thanks Dawnab.

Thank you so much for posting this technique. We are having a very good year for the corn and method produced wonderful corn. The only change is that when I measure out I put the corn into containers and freeze, then pop out and use the vacuum food saver. LOL, I just read a method of using the dishwasher for blanching and I'm going to try that, mix with your butter ratio and there you go, fast, easy, not much clean up and delicious!

Wow! I just tried this, great! Now I will pop in the freezer and be able to taste the flavor and hopefully the crunch. There is also no mess with these instructions, cleanup is minimal.
