Corn Cob Cutter Tool Review
Comments (6)I found one just like it in a kitchen drawer when I married my husband 25 years ago and it's in the dishwasher now. It's just like the old fashioned ones used decades ago........but I have always cut mine with a filet knife. I should have about eight or nine hundred ears to do up this fall unless the racoons get to it first, lol. I'll try it out in the next week or so on some I have frozen on the cob. If I remember, I'll let you know. I do know the scraper and serated creamer blade are supposed to be removed if one wants whole kernel corn......and the scraper can't be on my unit because I can't get the screw broke to lift it out, but the creamer blade just snaps in. I know I'll want the ears dry, so they don't slip around over the blades. I make slaws and krauts and I have lost enough knuckle skin over the years on cabbage cutters and slicers....See MorePickled corn on the cob
Comments (13)I've been making pickled corn for years using this method and I'm still alive and well. Stuck and wash your corn in cold water. Lay them on a clean towel and cut out any bad spots and remove all the silk. Place corn in a large pot. Bring to a boil and time it boiling for 9 minutes. Remove from stove and pour water and corn into a clean sink. Plug your sink and run cold water over your corn and let it set, drain and repeat again. Add ice to help it get cold. Once your corn is cold to touch, lay it out on a towel on your table. Clean your stone jar. Layer your corn so far up and add a handful of pickling salt over it and add a gallon of water over it, add next layer of corn and do the same thing until it fills up the jar. Leave room for your plate and rock to go ontop of the corn. Clean a medium side rock with a brush and water and rinse and repeat until rock is clean. Place rock into a clean not bleached white pillow case and wrap the excess case over the rock. Take a dinner plate that will fit upside down in your stone bar and place it ontop the corn, then place your rock ontop the plate. Take a clean towel and cover the top of the jar and i use electrical tap to go around the jar and i pull the towel down tight as I tape it. Let sit in a wArm place in your kitchen floor or building for 21 days. Best pickled corn ever. Never add vinegar it ruins it. When it's done remove the rock and place and the moldy looking film, rinse a piece of corn and eat it. To store it on the cob use big pickle jars like from a resturant to place corn in and cover it with brine in the jars and put the lid on. You can also cut it off the cob and place in quart jars and add brine over top of it. Hope this helps....See MoreKIA ...corn and corn cobs !
Comments (24)Gonzoe, I am so glad you liked the chowder! It is a great recipe . I had 2nds too ! As to the salad, I never have much luck with pasta salad until this one. I made a dressing that was really good...mine usually don't come out well but this one did so I will tell you what I did. I put about 1/2c red wine vinegar and a heaping Tbs Dijon mustard in the blender. I added a good pinch of salt and sugar and mixed that. I then added about 3/4c EVOO and buzzed again. I put a few splashes of Balsamic vinegar and also lemon juice to taste. For herbs I use Mrs dash Garlic mix sprinkled in. It was so good that I am not going to buy dressing anymore in the store. I just made it after reading several internet recipes. What about your salad was not good ? I bet we can fix it :) c...See MoreFreezing corn on the cob in their husks
Comments (7)I live in Oklahoma where it is difficult if not impossible to have some corn ear worms when it comes time to harvest. I fight them organically, but have some anyway. At harvest I take a sharp knife to the garden and cut off both ends of the corn pull off the shucks and as much of the silk that comes off readily. Once I get about a half bushel I take the corn to my wife in the house and she completes the cleaning process and parboils the ears for about 3 minutes and then cools in cold water. Parboiling stops the process of sugar being converted to starch. Once cooled we vacuum pack and put in the freezer. When ready to use just punch a hole in the vacuum bag and microwave for about 3 minutes. I have a friend that said he would never eat frozen corn because it is tasteless. We served him some of our corn once when they were out and he wanted to know where I had gotten fresh sweet corn in the middle of winter. I just said the market and let it go. Some people you can't tell them anything so it is best to just let it go. Once all the corn is harvested and the shucks are equally dispersed through the corn growing area if you rototiller the stalks while they are still green they turn under very nicely. Green stalks will break up whereas dried stalks have a tendency to just wind up around your tiller blades. In Oklahoma you can go back and plant green beans where the corn was for a bumper crop of green beans well before the first frost....See Morecpartist
