"Gabriella, there are several different ways to freeze corn. Of course, everyone thinks their way is best. We have several recipes that will give you an alternative to what we show in our article. Here are the addresses for those recipes: http://www.recipetips.com/recipe-cards/t--5549/freezing-corn.asp, http://www.recipetips.com/recipe-cards/t--5551/sweet-corn.asp, http://www.recipetips.com/recipe-cards/t--121294/best-frozen-corn.asp, and http://www.recipetips.com/recipe-cards/t--160824/frozen-sweet-corn-not-precooked.asp. The last recipe is the one I use personally. We have been freezing corn with this recipe for years and we love it. We like the fact that you don't have to cook the corn when you are freezing it. You will have to take a look at these options and see which you feel will work best for you. Good luck!"
"I appreciate the information on freezing corn because I am going to try that this weekend. I have never frozen corn before. Are there any other ways of freezing corn?"
"I have never had grilled corn but I just bought a small grill and can't wait to try it out. It was great finding this information on different ways of grilling sweet corn. I am going to give it a try this weekend."
"I found it interesting to see all the suggestions for cooking corn on the cob. Especially in a skillet and the microwave because it is just my husband and I at home now and we only need 3 or 4 ears at a time for our meals. I am going to try both ways. Thanks for the information!"
"I had some sweet corn to freeze but had never done it myself. I had helped my mom before but it had been a while ago. I found this information on freezing corn and used it. It seemed to turn out pretty good but we haven't had a chance to try it after it has been frozen. It will be nice to have it throughout the winter."
"What a thorough article! It is that time of year and I always seem to boil my sweet corn, and for too long, too! I think I will try each of these ways and see what we like best. Thank you!"
"Corn was delicious! My microwave is 1000 watts and I cooked 1 ear for 2 minutes.Butter, pepper and Marion-Kay seasoned salt - oh my..."
"I never go to all the trouble of removing the silks before microwaving in the husks.
Here's what I do:
1. Cut off the stalk about an inch below the bottom of the cob.
2. Remove all husks whose bases were cut off (when you do this you will see what I mean).
3. At the other end of the ear, cut the end off square across, so that you just barely cut off the tip of the cob and all the husk and silk flush. (again, easier to see when you do it.)
4. Microwave per your manual -- mine is 800 watts and I do 4-5 minutes per ear, depending on size.
5. When corn is done, hold with a pot holder in one hand, and, with another pot holder, grab the husks and silks on one side at the tip of the ear and pull off (it tears off the stalk easier if you pull it at an angle when you get to the bottom). Repeat until all the husk and silk are off -- any few bits of silk can easily be picked off.
6. Cut off the stump of the stalk even with the bottom of the cob.
7. Add holders and seasoning of choice and chow down!
Husking will take a bit of practice to perfect -- I can now do it in two passes per ear. Usually about 99-100% of the silks come off with the husks and any that remain are actually much easier to remove after cooking than when fresh."
