Questions about Frozen kernels on the cob sweet corn
Do you need to thaw frozen sweetcorn before cooking it?
No. Add it straight from the freezer to boiling water and simmer for about 3–5 minutes, until piping hot; drain well before serving.
How do you cook frozen sweetcorn in a frying pan without making it watery?
Cook it from frozen in a wide, hot pan so moisture can evaporate quickly. Stir for about 5–7 minutes, then add butter or oil and seasoning near the end.
How long does frozen sweetcorn keep after you open the bag?
Seal the bag tightly and return it to the freezer promptly. Keep it frozen and use it within the time recommended on the packaging for best quality; discard kernels that have thawed and been left warm.
What can you make with frozen sweetcorn?
Stir it into chowder, chilli or fried rice, or use it in sweetcorn fritters and a fresh salsa with tomato, lime and coriander. Add it straight from frozen to soups and stews, allowing a few extra minutes to heat through.
Can you use frozen sweetcorn instead of tinned sweetcorn?
Yes. Cook the frozen kernels first, then use them in the same quantity as drained tinned sweetcorn. For a salad, cool them after cooking; for a hot dish, stir them in until piping hot.
Can you eat frozen sweetcorn without cooking it?
Cook it before eating, following the packet instructions; freezing does not guarantee that vegetables are ready to eat. Boiling or steaming until piping hot is a simple option.
