Fresh corn on the cob is a delicious treat, but it can be tricky to keep it fresh and tasty for an extended period. However, with this chef-recommended tip, you can enjoy sweet and juicy corn all year round.
Preparation:
– Fresh corn cobs.
– Fresh-keeping bags or plastic wrap.
Instructions:
When you bring home fresh corn, don’t rush to put it in the fridge. First, remove the outer layer of the husk, leaving 2-3 inner layers intact to protect the kernels. You can choose to keep or remove the corn silk. Do not wash the corn before storing it, as this can cause it to spoil.
Once you’ve removed the excess husk, place the corn cobs directly into fresh-keeping bags, removing as much air as possible. Then, seal the bags tightly and store them in the freezer compartment of your refrigerator. If you don’t have fresh-keeping bags, you can wrap each corn cob individually in plastic wrap before placing them in the freezer.
By following this method, your corn on the cob will stay fresh for up to a year! You can enjoy fresh corn anytime without having to buy it from the store. When you’re ready to eat, simply take a cob out of the freezer and cook it without thawing.
If you’re boiling the corn, there’s no need to defrost it first. Add the frozen corn cobs to a pot of cold water with a pinch of salt and a bit of baking soda. Salt enhances the flavor of the corn, while baking soda helps to keep it tender and juicy. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 15 minutes. Your corn will taste just as sweet and delicious as if it were freshly picked.
