    Corn on the cob
    Can I freeze corn on the cob? If I vacumn seal it? Or is there a way so I don't have to cut it off the cob? Thanks

    Hi, jimmyt62!

    Yes, you can freeze them. I just did so a couple of weeks ago. I put the cobs in freezer bags then into the freezer.

    It is possible, that there will be someone much more knowledgeable about the process who'll come along to address your question. I hope that there will be!

    Thanks!

    I freeze corn on the cob with no problem at all. Prior to owning a vacuum sealer I just plopped them in a large baggie after washing with filtered water.

    Now that I own a vacuum sealer I've sealed the corn on the cob successfully to ward off any freezer burn. When I cook the corn I now use a steamer and the corn comes out much tastier than when cooked in a big pot of boiling water.

    If it's uncooked then you don't have to freeze it unless you're planning on keeping it around for awhile.

    You can buy corn on the cob in frozen forms from the supermarket.

    No need to blanch, unless you want, corn really can be eaten raw, so it really never needs to be cooked much.

    It's would be like freezing any fresh vegetable, just make sure it is fresh and clean (very important):D

    Just be sure to take off all the husks first! Also, I found that if I break the cob in half it makes it a bit easier to vacuum seal.

    No precooking is necessary. Just treat the corn like any other frozen veggie.

    If you do decide to take off the cob, the corn will take up less room when frozen. Somehow it doesn't taste the same though off the cob.

    We blanch ours first. We have a garden every year, so our freezer is full of fresh vegetables. The corn is easy to put up.

    I'm so glad it's SOOOO easy!!

    The ONLY way I cook corn on the cob anymore is in the microwave... 3 minutes per cob... tiny bit of water... cover allowing for small vent... DELICIOUS!
