Title: Corn off the cob
Post by: brucesgirl on August 09, 2007, 20:20

Does anyone know of a simple way to take the corn off the cob. I would like to freeze it so it is like the stuff you buy in the supermarket.
Is this possible?

I don't know how they get the corn off so perfectly for freezing.  The only way I know is to run a very sharp knife down the cob, then blanch and freeze.  I find this less than perfect way breaks some of the corn, but that to me increases the flavour.  Pick and freeze immediately as the sugar rapidly turns to starch.
