Fresh corn on cob....frozen
 

I know you can freeze corn on the cob with or without the husks on. I'm wondering if any of you have frozen it with the husks on & how did it taste when defrosted & cooked? I read online that you should peel the husks down about half way & remove the silks & then slip the husks back up on the cob. I plan to freeze mine using my vacum pack food saver machine. What say you?

Never heard of freezing corn that way, but worth a try. Let us know how it turns out!

Takes up a lot of freezer space doing it that way.

Apparently one can freeze corn on the cob - because I have seen it in the freezer section of the store.

I always shuck and blanch mine. I know it takes a lot of work in the beginning but so worth it to me to be so easy when I use it out of t freezer. I love the food saver. The food taste so much fresher.

Shucking, silking, blanching, and cooling is always that way I've frozen corn on the cob. It is wonderful to take it out of the freezer and heat with little effort.

Farmer says freeze
 

Our local farmer whose specialty is corn says to freeze the corn, with husk intact, if you can't use it right away.
I take it out of the freezer and cook it in the microwave as is. Don't remove the husk. Cooking time will vary according to the size and number of ears. It's done when you poke a kernel and the liquid is clear.

I always freeze a couple of dozen ears just so we can have something "different" in the winter. Just cut both ends off the unshucked corn, place it in ziplock bags, pressing out as much air as possible. If you have a vacuum sealer, that is the best. When I get ready to cook, I place the corn in a pot of rolling boiling water. Cook for about 12 minutes. It is SO good. The silks and leaves fall right off the corn into the water.

Ditto here. Have always done it that way myself.

I may try this when corn is at market. I've tried decobbing and freezing...not so good. This may be the answer to my obsession with farm fresh corn! And got a vacuum storage thingy for Christmas, so that will be used too!
