Best way to cook frozen corn on the cob? Try these easy steps!

Okay, here’s my personal take on cooking frozen corn on the cob, presented in the style of a casual, experienced blogger:

Alright, folks, let’s talk about frozen corn on the cob. I used to think it was a sad substitute for fresh, but I’ve totally changed my tune. It’s cheap, it’s convenient, and if you do it right, it can be surprisingly good. I’ve messed around with a few methods, and here’s what works best for me.

Boiling Method

This is my go-to, the old reliable. Super simple.

• First, I grabbed a big pot – gotta be big enough to hold all your corn and plenty of water.
• I filled that pot with water, not too much, just covered the corn is fine.
• Then I added a pinch of salt. I have tried to add a little sugar sometime. I think it’s a good idea.
• I cranked up the heat and brought that water to a rolling boil. You want it bubbling like crazy.
• Once it’s boiling, I carefully dropped in the frozen corn. No need to thaw it, straight from the freezer is perfect.
• I let it boil for about 5-8 minutes. Honestly, I usually just eyeball it. You want the kernels to be plump and bright yellow. If you over boil, you get the hard corn.
• Once it’s done, I fished the corn out with tongs. Be careful, it’s hot!
• I slathered the cobs by butter, salt, and maybe a little chili powder if I’m feeling fancy.

Grilling Method (My Favorite!)

I love the taste when grilling the corn!

• First, I prepared my grill, making sure it was clean and ready to go.
• While the grill was heating up, I took my frozen corn on the cob and gave each cob a good rub down with olive oil. Just enough to coat it lightly.
• Once the grill was hot (medium-high heat is what I aim for), I placed the corn directly on the grates.
• I kept a close eye on them, turning them every few minutes to get those nice grill marks all around. It usually takes about 10-12 minutes total.
• I sprinkled salt. That is all!

And that’s it! Seriously, it’s that easy. Don’t be intimidated by frozen corn. It’s a lifesaver when you need a quick and tasty side dish. Give it a try, and let me know what you think!
