The Best Way to Cook Sweet Corn . 
Select only sound, well-matured ears, but not 
tough ones. The sooner you use corn after picking, 
the better because sugar content and flavor start 
to change as soon as the ear is picked. Drop ears 
into a kettle of boiling water to which a little salt 
has been added. Cook 3 minutes, no longer. Take 
out and serve at once with plenty of butter and salt. 
How to Freeze Sweet Corn 
Use only best ears. Husk and silk. Cook in boiling 
water for 2 minutes. Take out and put in cold water. 
Cool as quickly as possible. Cut kernels from cob with 
sharp knife; don’t cut too deep—cob isn’t very good eat- 
ing. Put in glass jars or regular freezer cartons, seal 
tightly, and freeze quickly. To re-heat, drop corn into 
boiling water just long enough to heat thoroughly. Don’t 
cook! You can freeze corn on the ear, too. But cut 
from the cob it takes less space and, we think, tastes 
better.
