Sometimes, I see others post here about freezing corn on the cob. Some say just put in the deep freeze once picked. I've searched all over the 'net, watched youtube videos and everything in between.
I've seen suggestions such as, microwave, shuck halfway back and remove silk, re-shuck and place in freezer; cut tips and base off, remove loose shucks and place in freezer bags; remove shucks and silk, blanch and place in freezer bags; etc.
I have tried these with my sweet corn and all I end up with are leathery, chewy kernels with zero flavor.
I got first crop of sweet corn coming on and just trying to get an idea of what to do. Have to fight the raccoons' too!
So what is the secrets for prepping, freezing/storing and cooking sweet corn on the cob?
Thanks
Edit: The sweet corn is Bi-color, Honet Select.
