Can you freeze corn on the cob?

What freezing does to corn on the cob

Because the dense cob takes longer to blanch, freeze, and re-heat, the corn is likely to become water-logged and mushy. It is the only way to still bite it directly off the cob after freezing. If you want crisper kernels, freezing whole kernel corn is likely to produce a better result.

How to freeze it

1. Select only tender, freshly-gathered corn in the milk stage.
2. Husk and trim the ears, remove silks and wash.
3. Water blanch small ears (1¼ inches or less in diameter) 7 minutes, medium ears (1¼ to 1½ inches in diameter) 9 minutes and large ears (over 1½ inches in diameter) 11 minutes.
4. Cool promptly and completely to prevent a "cobby" taste.
5. Drain and package. Seal and freeze.

Depends on the form

• It is likely to become water-logged and mushy because it takes longer to blanch, freeze, and re-heat due to the presence of the dense cob.
• Cool promptly and completely to prevent a "cobby" taste.
