How to store corn cobs

There are many ways to preserve corn cobs in our daily lives. Generally, fresh corn can be stored for about two days without peeling the skin. Corn cobs can be stored for longer periods of time by putting them in the refrigerator. Corn can also be dried in the sun to preserve it for even longer periods of time. As for the preservation method of corn cobs, we can choose the preservation method introduced in the article according to our needs.

Illustration of how to preserve fresh corn:

1. Fresh corn is peeled very cleanly by the vegetable vendor when you buy it. I suggest you peel the skin yourself, leaving two or three layers would be better.

2. Take a plastic bag and put the corn into it. Note that the corn does not need to be washed.

3. Try to remove the air from the bag and tie the bag tightly.

4. Put it in the freezer of the refrigerator to keep it fresh for a long time. When you want to eat it, take it out of the refrigerator, peel it first, then put it in water to thaw. After thawing, wash it clean, put it in a pot and cook it before eating. The taste is no different from fresh corn.

How to store fresh corn for a long time?

1. Cook the corn using the conventional method (you can leave two layers of outer coating to increase sweetness). After cooling and draining the moisture, wrap it in a plastic bag and freeze it. When you want to eat it, steam or boil it again over high heat.

2. Peel off the thick outer skin of the corn, leaving 3 layers of the inner skin of the corn. There is no need to remove the corn silk, and there is no need to wash it. Put it in a fresh-keeping bag or a plastic bag, seal it, and store it in the freezer of the refrigerator. Before eating, take the corn out of the refrigerator, rinse it with clean water, put it in a pot, pour in clean water, cook it over high heat and then eat.

Note:

1. The second method is suitable for preserving glutinous corn. Although sweet corn can also be used, the taste is not as good as that preserved after being cooked.

2. Regardless of the method, the taste will be better if vacuum packaging is used.

How to preserve fresh corn:

First of all, when buying corn, you should pay attention to choosing fresh corn with plump kernels, closely arranged, and of moderate hardness and softness. After the corn is cooked, immediately soak it in ice water for about a minute. This will keep the corn fresh and tender for up to an hour.

If you need to store it for a long time, just peel the fresh corn, leaving the innermost three layers of skin, wrap it in plastic wrap and freeze it in the refrigerator. You can then eat the same fresh corn in winter.

How to cook fresh corn:

1. Before eating the tender corn, take it out of the refrigerator, rinse it with clean water, put it in a pot, pour in clean water, bring to a boil over high heat, and continue cooking for 8 minutes. There is no need to defrost the corn in advance, and do not cook it after the water boils.

2. When cooking corn, whether it is fresh corn or frozen corn, do not peel off all the corn husks. Leave a few layers of inner husk and silk, so that the cooked corn will taste fragrant. When cooking corn, put it in cold water and add a little salt to make the corn taste sweeter.

Tips for keeping cooked corn fresh:

Fresh tender corn is very convenient to eat whenever you want after it is preserved. It can be cooked directly without thawing. If you don't finish the cooked corn, you can peel the corn kernels and freeze them in the refrigerator. This can save space. It is also very good to grab a handful of corn kernels and cook rice.
