Questions about Frozen corn
Do you need to defrost frozen corn before cooking it?
No. Add it straight from the freezer to boiling water, a hot pan or a soup; cooking it from frozen helps keep the kernels from turning mushy.
How do you cook frozen corn on the hob?
For kernels, simmer in a little boiling water for about 3–5 minutes, then drain well. For a quicker side, heat them in a frying pan with a knob of butter, stirring until piping hot.
Can you microwave frozen corn?
Yes. Put the kernels in a microwave-safe dish with a splash of water, cover, and microwave for about 3–5 minutes, stirring halfway through; drain before serving.
How should you store frozen corn after opening the bag?
Seal the bag tightly or transfer the kernels to an airtight freezer container, then return them to the freezer promptly. Keep them frozen and use them by the date on the pack; don’t refreeze corn that has thawed.
What can you make with frozen corn?
Stir it into chowder, chilli, shepherd’s pie or a vegetable fried rice, or fold it into fritter batter. Add the kernels near the end of cooking so they heat through without losing their bite.
Can you use frozen corn instead of tinned sweetcorn?
Yes. Use the same amount by weight, but cook the frozen kernels until hot; tinned sweetcorn is already cooked and only needs heating. Frozen corn is not usually as soft or salty as sweetcorn from a tin.
Is frozen corn more nutritious than fresh sweetcorn?
They are broadly similar, and freezing preserves corn soon after harvest. Frozen corn has 2.8 g of fibre per 100 g; fresh yellow sweet corn has 2.1 g per 100 g.
How much energy does frozen corn provide?
A 100 g portion provides 105 kcal. A small handful is a handy amount to add to soup or a side dish.
