Corn on the cob

I'm sure it would be fine.....I don't blanch my stuffed peppers, stuff & freeze.

 

Glad I just happened across this !! Thanks for the ideas folks! I’ve got a half acre that’s jjjuuusssttt about ready!
Last year I planted and then the neighbor planted his field corn. Let’s just say my stuff crossed and was super tough!

 

Yeah, you don't want to trap water in the bag.

 

Well that would just suck

 

The farmer I get it from, his dad use to sell it to my dad now his son has taken over. Needless to that has been many years that we have been buying from.

So many great ideas out here. Just got another half dozen this am so some for dinner and other to see what we like. Thanks so much everybody.
But

 

Do any of you put sugar in your water when you cook it. My mom did that and i do it to this day. Lol not much just a tsp or two (never measured it) probably not needed with today's corn but some habits die hard.

 

This is my favorite way to cook corn on the cob. Soak it in water for a little while then cook on the grill. Steams in its own juices. Very sweet and vibrant colours compared to boiled. Super easy to husk too. No picking little silks off. Peals like a ripe banana. None left to cut off and bag tonight.

 

The corn we get is many days old because of shipping. We usually steam it not boil it.

The only time I ever ate corn picked and thrown in the pot within minutes of being picked was the time I really ate way more than I should have. Rather embarrassing as we were guests.

 

As I mentioned before we get it from a local farmer. We can actually see his place from our front porch. When I know it is about corn time and i have to run into town I make it a point that will take me past his "Corn shack" I have actually hit it a few times when he is unloading the most recent plck.

 

Hard to like that.

 

Alright might be a stupid question but I don’t do a whole lot of cooking that doesn’t involve an open fire or a grill. So what’s the next step? Corn is frozen, it’s the middle of January, I feel like sweet corn, how the heck do I reheat it so it tastes the best? It’s already been boiled(cooked) do I boil it again? Microwave?

Mom used to do that too. And I did it in the past. Waste of sugar IMO
Mrs. TD adds salt but I don't don't think that any additive in the water can absorb in 5 minutes...

 

I microwave or sometimes fry it with some butter and Cajun spice

 

I do corn in a huge army surplus pot . Holds about 6 dozen. Fill it with corn then water. I'll let it just start to bubble and shut it off. We have a cookout and freeze what's left. Sometimes we have 2 cookouts to get what we need for winter.Most of it goes in 3 gallon batches of chili. I've got a killer boilermaker chilli that everyone begs for and we'll have it 2-3 times a week in the winter and freeze the rest for other times. Some corn for meals . Never disappointed in how the corn turns out

 

I have to do a couple dozen cobs this weekend for my wife's family reunion. Taking my turkey burner and pot. I am going to try this method. Thanks for the tip

 

Unfortunately, I'm old enough to know what that is.

 

We freeze corn on the cob and cut corn off of the cob and put in freezer bags. Husk the corn, de whisker it, bag it, freeze it. The par boiling, pre cooking makes the end product mushy. Just freeze it fresh. Pull out of the freezer and prepare as if it were fresh. In the summer/fall when used to corn on the cob, corn on the cob from the freezer isn't as tasty. But a cold day in the winter and putting a little heat in the kitchen boiling a pot and smelling corn on the cob an then eating it, brings back all the senses of a summer day.
