Ingredients

  • 4-8 ears frozen corn on the cob frozen half or whole ears
  • 2 tablespoons butter optional
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over medium heat.
  • Place the ears of frozen corn into the boiling water.
  • Return the water to a boil and cook corn for 3-6 minutes until the corn kernels are tender.
  • Drain carefully or remove the hot corn with tongs.
  • Dot with butter and season with salt as desired.

Notes

  • Check corn for freezer burn. Corn freezes well for several months then becomes prone to freezer burn. Discard if the corn looks shriveled and white. 
  • Place frozen corn into the desired cooking vessel. There is no need to thaw the corn first. 
  • Experiment to discover the cooking process that works best for you. 
  • Use a lid when boiling water to conserve energy and boil frozen corn faster.
  • When microwaving corn, leave a vent space in the plastic wrap that is covering the dish. 
  • Don’t freeze corn after it has been thoroughly cooked, as it can become mushy. 
  • Brush cooked corn with olive oil or melted butter before sprinkling with herbs, kosher salt or seasoning. 
  • Corn on the cob will be very hot. Carefully remove corn with a pair of tongs. Place corn on a serving platter or plate and allow the corn to cool slightly before eating.
  • Storage - keep cooked corn on the cob wrapped in foil or in an airtight container inside the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • There are 2 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving of this.
