ANSWER—Bob Snyder, Akron, Ohio, wanted to know how
to freeze corn on the cob. Thanks to a faithful reader who writes
that corn frozen on the cob tends to be more watery, but is good
for something different on a winter day. Here are her
instructions.
Frozen Corn On The Cob
Blanch ears of corn for 2'A to 3'A minutes and cool quickly,
Place in plastic bags and freeze.
