Freeze corn for the winter in cobs and grains

How to freeze corn on the cob and grains?

First cook the corn until tender. Wait until the cobs cool down to room temperature.

Half of the cobs will be frozen whole. Wrap each cob in plastic wrap. Do this carefully so that the corn is completely covered with a film on all sides. This will protect the cobs from getting wet and will not allow them to get saturated with odors from other products.

Remove the grains from the remaining ears. You can do this with a knife or with your hands, but I prefer the second option, in which the seeds remain whole and beautiful.

Arrange the corn grains in trays (you can also put them in serving bags) and put them in the freezer until winter. In the future, corn kernels can be added when cooking various dishes (without pre-defrosting).

When you want to defrost the cobs to enjoy the juicy corn, boil the water. Put the frozen cobs directly into it, cook for a few minutes. Done.

It is very convenient to make labels on packages with home freezing, where to indicate what is frozen and when (write with a pencil, since ink from the pen may leak). So you will surely know the shelf life and easily find what you need in a full freezer.

Note that the quality and taste of the finished dish largely depends on the proper defrosting of the ingredients. How to avoid mistakes and choose the best way, read the article about defrosting.
