This corn was over the hill by Tork standards so I cut it off the cob and scraped the cob for the "corn milk".

[glock rocks]

I like my corn young and tender just like my Women...

I like my corn cleaned, steamy and rubbed down with butter, just li ....

hey, wait a minute... this is a family thread

don't make us send you to the big red trailer.

If freezer space is at a limit, you could use glock rocks' method and then cut the corn off the cob and freeze it that way. You'll have much better-tasting corn than if you bought frozen corn at the supermarket!

If you don't have a vacuum sealer, I'm sold on that press and seal wrap -- but, I have had better luck using the regular kind when I freeze stuff than I've had with the blue type that's supposed to be their freezer wrap.

I have some CorningWare bowls (similar to the ones shown in the picture at the link, but I got mine before they put that air-release hoochie in the lids). I fill the bowls 3/4 of the way up with soup or whatever, and then put a layer of the press/seal wrap over the top -- pressing it down so that it's flush with the top of the soup and sealed up to and around the edges of the bowl; I then add the lid and tape a label on it. When I'm ready to fix it, I remove the lid, take off the press/seal wrap, put the lid back on loosely, and then nuke it. No freezer burn or nasty ice crystals using this method!

Thanks darlin. I knew you had the definitive answer. Please disregard post 62, that post was made by my evil twin, Bo.

Norm, I'm going to go sit in the timeout room.

Did Steve tap the keg yet?

Call the Mrs on Sunday and ask her to bake another cake. It doesn't look like the first one will be around 'til Monday.

[glock rocks]

Happy Birthday B4!

No rumcake now... the kid's gotta drive.

[SouthTexas]

One other option, if you have a big copper kettle and some tubing...

[SouthTexas]

My grandmother taught wife how to can and I think this is the freshest tasting, but you do have to cut it off the ears. Kids liked it on the cob, so she started just blanching and freezing in ziplock bags.

We had no rain, so we had no corn this year. :(

[tubebender]

I wish you had said that in a FReepmail. I have enemies here...

[SouthTexas]

Well you didn't answer so things should still be OK. :)

[glock rocks]

Oh, that copper kettle.

... always wondered bout that.

[Fawnn]

I should have differentiated between home-canned and the commercial, store-bought canned. (If you're getting the store-bought kind, frozen is better than canned, imo.) ... I mentioned freezing it because that's less work than canning it. (I guess that means I made the assumption that the person asking is as lazy as I am. LOL)

[SouthTexas]

Was just a thought. Was not trying to get anyone a visit by the feds.

[SouthTexas]

Sort of hard to get the cobs into the jars too. :)

[Fawnn]

LOL!!! Not if you get big enough jars, but then storage space becomes a problem. ;)

[SouthTexas]

;)

[tubebender]

Slightly off topic but I thought this was a thread about NASCAR?

[SouthTexas]

All the Nascar fans I know are good cooks too, or at least have one in the family, so it's right in line.

Ordered my tickets for the Texas race today, qualifying, truck, Busch, and Cup race. Only got two though so now we'll see who is naughty or nice over the next month. :)

[tubebender]

Can you drive there in one day?
