Instructions:

1. Gently peel away some of the outer layers of the husk, leaving the innermost layers intact.
2. Trim each end of the corn cob.
3. Avoid blanching the corn; this step sets this freezing method apart.
4. Place the prepared corn cobs into freezer bags or vacuum-seal them to lock in freshness. Ensure the bags are well-sealed before freezing.
5. When it’s time to cook the frozen corn, run the cob under running water to remove husks and silks. Keep the corn frozen when you start the cooking process.
6. Boil the frozen corn for approximately 15 minutes. This helps retain the original taste of fresh corn.
7. Alternatively, you can steam, grill (wrapped in the husk with aluminum foil), or microwave the frozen corn based on your preference.
8. Regardless of the cooking method, the result will be perfect corn on the cob that tastes freshly picked.
