Hi looking for advice on cooking frozen cobs . Any advice welcome.

[Trillium]

Wish I could help but I always cut the corn off cobs before freezing. I never found frozen cobbed corn cooked properly as the cob part takes too long.

we freeze them whole in bags, we stock up from the PYO, especially when i worked there!

we've almost finished the last of them.  they've been in there 2 months now and i wouldn't want to leave them any longer.  obviously the longer they're in the freezer the more they deteriorate.  

to cook we put them in the steamer from frozen for about 10-15 minutes longer than from fresh.

but like i say the few that are left are certainly not crisp like fresh cobs, but the flavour is still there i think.

hope thats of some help.


(sorry just read you wanted advice RE cooking not freezing....) :roll:

We generally blanch the sweetcorn on the cob and then remove the kernels for freezing. Occasionally blanch on the cob and freeze the whole cob. When we've done that, the best thing is to let them defrost completely before cooking them - either in a steamer or in a large pot of boiling water. The kernels are "partially" cooked anyway if you've blanched before freezing and you don't eat the cob! Have also allowed them to defrost completely, cut in half, wrapped in foil with a little butter and BBQ'd.
