Wow! I just pulled out my first batch of this corn, and WOW! I just made half because I was afraid I wouldn't like it as well as everyone else has rated it, but I was wrong. I can see now that I'm going to have to go buy more corn. I still cooked the corn an hour even though I halved the recipe. It turned out perfectly cooked. The corn comes out firm with flavor bursting in your mouth after an hour at 325. I did add a bit of sugar to the mix when cooking, but always add it to my corn. You just add it to taste, but I probably used close to 1/4 cup when it was all said and done. I used a regular knife and just turned a cup upside down in the roaster to replicate the Angel Food Cake technique. Worked great and kept the mess to a minimum. Now if someone could just tell me how to get the silks off the corn a little better. Thanks so much Judikins for sharing this great recipe.

My FIL gave me a bunch of corn (not very sweet) so I wanted to make some of this freezer corn to use in corn chowder recipes this winter. This method is terrific. I was able to cut a cob every 30 seconds with the electric knife. Very neat & clean. My BIL and FIL who freeze a lot of corn each year, will be switching to this technique.

Judikins, This was delicious. I picked up several cases of corn at the Olathe Sweet "Sweet" Corn Festival yesterday. I wanted to freeze some for those cold winter months! Imagine my surprise to find a fellow "corn freezer" using the Olathe sweet corn as the basis of her freezer corn recipe. Thanks so much. I'm sure we'll enjoy it even more in January.

I'm a Midwesterner, turned Northwesterner for 30 years and finally a Southwesterner. I retired in 1995 and have had time to enjoy, even more, the things I love, like cooking and entertaining special people in our home--family and good friends. Fortunately, my husband enjoys cooking too (one pot meals), so he relieves me a few times a month.
