How to freeze corn off the cob

  1. Find the freshest sweet corn available.
  2. Husk the corn by removing the outer green leaves and the inner corn silk. I do this by splitting the husk at the tassel, grabbing the silk and removing both in one motion.
  3. Bring a large pot of water to boil.
  4. Blanch the corn.
  5. With firm, controlled pressure, use a corn stripper to cut the corn from the cob from the thick stalk end to the thin tassel end.
  6. Make sure the pressure is not forcing the corn stripper into the cob of the corn.
  7. Potion into freezer bags or containers, removing as much air as possible.
  8. Label with date and portion size.
  9. Lay flat to freeze.
  10. Enjoy within a year.
