Freeze corn for the winter in cobs and grains

Step 1. How to freeze corn for the winter in cobs and grains? First, prepare the corn. Take fresh cobs, without signs of spoilage. Prepare the corn in a convenient way for you. If cooked in a pan, do not salt the water to keep the grains soft. I cooked the cobs in the microwave. To do this, corn is not necessary to wash, it is enough to wipe it outside with a wet cloth. Only external dry leaves should be removed from the cobs.

Step 2. How to cook corn in the microwave? Cut the cornbone so that the grains show. This will facilitate further cleaning and help determine the corn's readiness. The exact time of preparation will depend on the characteristics of your microwave. My microwave has a maximum power of 800 watts and it took me 7 minutes to cook the corn.

Step 3. How to prepare the cobs for freezing whole? Let the finished corn cool to room temperature. Remove the remaining leaves and fibers. To freeze the cobs, wrap the peeled cobs in food film and remove them into a freezer.

Step 4. How quickly and easily can you separate the grain from the cob? You can simply cut them with a knife or with the help of a special snouter. To save the maximum number of whole grains, it is better to separate with a knife the first row of grains, then carefully move the grains into the free side. This method is longer, but the grains are easily separated and preserved whole.

Step 5. How to properly pack the grain for freezing? Spread the grains in freezer bags or containers and put them away in the freezer. I got 600 grams of grains from 3 cobs. In the future, corn grains can be added when preparing various dishes (without pre-freezing).

Step 6. How to make frozen corn? When you want to defrost your cobs to enjoy the juicy corn, boil water. Put the frozen cob right in it, cook for a few minutes. Enjoy the delicious and pleasant meals!
