So funny to see how many different ways everybody freezes corn. I have been doing it for 50 plus years. Do it on how your family taught you. Do not worry about how other people do it. You are doing your best and that's what counts. Keep up the good work. Love the video. Thanks for letting me come along. Enjoyed.
My mother used a angel food cake pan or bunt pan to cut the corn. Place ear in the center of the pan and cut into the pan. We cut hundreds of ears this way.
@@barbrichards6229 Hi can you explain exactly how you did the corn ? Did you use the inside hole 🕳️ of the Cake pan and just scrape the corn 🌽 off that way? I'm trying to find a better way to do it as I will blanch and freeze about two of those big bens they use on the veggie boy's and by the time I get done I'm wore completely out. I'm disabled myself so it's hard on me to do all that corn . I have cancer as well so that doesn't help matters none either . So I am having to find better ways of doing things that is easier on me.
I just did a lot of that for winter. And Sadie is so darn adorable. Her reaction to the big worm had me laughing so hard. Yes, definitely, more winter prep videos!
You're adorable.. Asking and learning all these things from the family is so important..very proud of you!! Saw the boys picking corn for Grammy the other day...I'm sure she could tell you all these things too..learn from the BEST
❤I love this couple and the Ochs Farm Fam and friends! God Bless all of our PA Farmers! I watch Andrew every day! Hard working Family. Maybe Sadie could learn how to make cream corn with the cobs before feeding the livestock!? Have a blessed evening
Until I downsized, I had an Amish corn cutter that was older than me. It had been my Grandmother's and made fast work of cutting the corn off the cob. You guys did a good job.
We cut the corn off raw with an electric knife, for every eight cups of corn add to one stick of butter. Bring it to a simmer while stirring, pour on a big cookie sheet and put it in the freezer to cool. Then package in quart bags and freeze. We've been doing it this way for more than thirty years. Great job guys and keep up the food preservation... it's fun to do it together.
I was so surprised to see you skip a step in freezing corn that I was taught. We always turned our knife around a scraped the husk to remove the rest of the corn
I lost all of my corn this year due to heat and severe high temperatures. So I think tomorrow I’m going to go to local farmers market pick up some corn and do exactly what you guys did. Thanks for the idea. Have a blessed night.
I like to can my corn. If I freeze corn I have to worry about power failure because here there are quite a few power outages and there goes my food. With canning I don't have to worry about the canned goods going bad with power outages. You guys and gals do have some very nice corn. enjoy.🤣
I think all you really need to write on it is the date. :) I like the winter prep. Be sure to do more. That many bags won't hold you over the winter! :)
The natural enzymes in corn need to be inactivated before freezing to prevent both loss of color and nutrients, and flavor and texture changes. These enzymes are inactivated by a hot blanch treatment. The chilling process prevents the corn from becoming mushy due to overcooking the starch.
@@bobdogg509 I think that is the traditional recommendation, but I had an ear of corn frozen last week, and it was very sweet and perfect. Not dry or starchy. 🤷♀️
I’m not sure that’s true. About 10 years ago we stopped blanching the corn before freezing it. We’ve not noticed any difference in the quality or taste even after it’s been in the freezer for nearly a year.
.It's SOOOooo nice to see you two working together, side-by-side!! THX! EDIT: We were hoping you'd tell us about Grammie freezing corn this past week, after she sent the 'harvesters' out to pick 'mature' corn for her.
If you take smaller pieces at a time of the husk, when you pull down you can grab the silks and it is waaaay less messy. 😂 however, so much fun to watch yall having fun. I used to help my grandma freeze corn. She had a totally different method. She cut the corn off first then cooked it in a white enamel pan over low heat. Silver Queen only. More than one way...ya all know. Such good memories. You can also use a big knife to whack the end off before husking if you suspect worms.
We always just throw the corn into brown paper bags and then freeze. Take out, let thaw and cut ends off. Put into microwave for a short while. The husks and silks just slip off. I am in Georgia where we grow sweet and field corn to eat fresh. You can just grate the corn and freeze. You don’t have to blanch. I think it sets the starch and makes it too starch tasting. A lady near me has people grate and she bags and sells in stores. Has a license to do and she certainly doesn’t blanch. Put heavy cream and butter in the corn when you cook it. Delicious.
When I was a kid, the parents were fiscally lean BUT they had an upright, Amana freezer with multiple freezing shelves picked up at an auction. We could also uppick the last of the corn in a couple of area corn fields for fresh corn at a savings. The first year my mother did some canned cut corn, frozen cut corn, plus frozen ears and half ears of corn on the cob. Every year after that we froze half ears of corn stuffed down repurposed bread sacks. All in all it went quick and easy.
We are the 3rd generation in our family freezing corn. Our family used to grow Silver Queen but we have to buy our corn at the farmers market. Thanks for showing us how you do it
Love to see you guys doing the food prep...maybe you can get Grammie to share some recipes with all of us and show her teaching you both to make the delicious stuff she makes!!
We can start calling you two ...The Two Preppers ! lol Nah its a good thing to prep for the cold weather when certain veggies are not available ...... Gotta Love that sweet corn !
Wow teach that girl how to be a farmer and cook and the rest ! Its going to be interesting this journey of learning ! You both will be more confident as time passes
Andrew sent me....hey guys, do something that I've been asking Andrew to do...LET GREAT GRANDMA BE IN THE VIDEOS COOKING/PRESERVING WITH YOU...I WOULD LOVE IT. ❤❤❤
I really enjoy these farm to table videos. And the phone recording looks great on my phone😂. Y’all may have to do that a few hundred times, cause like Daniel, I too could eat that in one sitting.
I'd be eating too much as I prepare!!! 😅 Seriously though, I am quite sure that the ice bath is to stop the cooking process. Enjoy your corn🌽🌽🌽 So wish I could come and get some from your farm market, but I live in Australia! ❤
I am currently watching this video and decided to get online and tell you why you are boiling the corn. You are Blanching it. Look up how to Blanch vegetables for canning or freezing. It stops the vegetable from growing and also helps it maintain the color and flavor of the vegetable, while the ice bath stops the cooking process. You should get yourself an electric knife. It is great for carving meats and many uses actually. Glad you see you are working together and hope you have a wonderful life together on the farm. Don't forget to learn something new every day and you gotta have some fun every day as well. I love watching the Veggie Boys and Stable Life so had to add your channel to my Subscriptions. /Faye from Texas. I do have to tell you I really think your veggies are bigger and prettier than any I've seen in Texas lately. I also paid $4.59 for 1 dozen eggs at the grocery store. We don't even have sweet corn in the store. My mouth waters when I see those beautiful veggies. Enjoy!!
Very nice!! I haven't frozen cut corn, but last year blanched and froze full ears! I want to do that again but freeze ears cut in half. I had to laugh about the big fat juicy worms! Big fat juicy worms Long slim slimy worms Oh see how they squirm! 😂 See you in the next one!
I love the winter prepping! Sadie could have cut herself with the corn husk! I have been cut by one before, similar to a paper cut. And you cook the corn to seal in the sweetness! Also really like the video where you two were riding out in the field. Keep up the good work!
I started freezing corn off the cob last year after I almost missed our harvest when I didn't realize it was ripe. I froze much of it but wasn't expecting much but figured something was better than losing it. However, upon defrosting it, it was so much sweeter. I couldn't believe it. Sometimes it tasted like I had added sugar but I didn't! So this year I cooked several ears every day, and we ate what we wanted, then I took the rest off the cob and put it in the freezer.
Give this a try saves so much time. Pick 4 more ears and just put them in the freezer with the husk on. Just cut off but leave corn covered the top and some of the bottom. Give it a try I found that is the best way.
If you like cream corn and are freezing sweet corn try this my wife used to do this..clean off the corn and then wash the corn. Then taking a sharp knife cut the kernels off about 2/3's of the way down. Then turn your knife over and using the back of it scrape the fresh cut kernal area squeezing out the milk of the corn into your bowl with the rest of the corn. Do this to the whole cob. Then scoop cups full of corn and the juice into your pint freezer bags and freeze. When you go to cook it put about 1 tablespoon of butter in with the corn. I swear this is literally the best creamed corn you will ever have. I would rather have corn this way than any other way. You do not have to blanch the corn before cutting it off but. We found you can to make it easier to cut the corn from the cob. We found not blanching it did not make it appreciably easier to cut and seemed to allow more of the cream of the corn to not jell up as much making for better cream corn. Another hack for doing frozen corn is to use a canning jar funnel to help fill your freezer bags.
Hey Daniel and Sattie my first time on your channel this is awesome. I have subbed and I will join your channel. You guys have a beautiful home. I love seeing Sattie with Callie you can tell Callie really loves her Aunt Sattie. Okay I need to stop writing I will talk you to death lol. By the way I just finished putting up my green beans and my corn and I made 250 quarts of my salsa . It will be all gone before Christmas 🎄 I give it to homeless people older disabled people and people on low income. I absolutely love doing it for them.
With your large supply of sweet corn. Try freezing a few un blanched (raw) whole cobs in zip lock bag with butter (if that's how you like it) and freeze. My ex wife always did this and worked well
Sadie, you’re learning how to properly pop those ears off the stocks! Daniel needs to give you some more lessons! Y’all are so cute! Yes Daniel, y’all. It’s a southern thing! (I’m in Arkansas)
Sadie, how about following the produce from farm to customer. Whether individual or restaurant. Video what they do with it and share recipes. I always felt Veggie Boys channel needs to show what people do with your beautiful produce. Just an idea. Keep up the good work.
Invest in a larger pot and save yourself some time and energy! Walmart has some reasonable priced stainless steel stock pots!! PS slide the back of your knife down the cob and add it to your kernels yum!🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽
You boil the corn to kill the bacteria that naturally breaks it down. It’s so cool to watch you both learn and grow your skills. So proud of you both.

Nothing better than fresh sweet corn on the Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner tables ❤
I really enjoy watching you putting food up for later use. As a canner of over 50 yrs. I love seeing young people learning this life skill. TFS
You guys are adorable, loving your channel!

Your way sounds like a real mess man
Sadie so funny 😂 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
The worm by Sadie was hilarious and then she hurts herself with the ear and hits herself 😂😂😂😂. Love watching winter prep. You guys are adorable. ❤❤❤❤

Pam here; messy work cutting off cob.
But so so so yum!!
Thanks for helping to show just how easy it is to prepare and preserve food for yourself
Daniel you must tell Joel and Andrew to mention your channel I just by chance found it
You are both so cute working together. Love your channel.
I actually just bought a 50lb bag today. I husk it and put it in baggies the freeze it. I only cook it when I take it out of the freezer for a meal.
I lost all of my corn this year due to heat and severe high temperatures. So I think tomorrow I’m going to go to local farmers market pick up some corn and do exactly what you guys did. Thanks for the idea. Have a blessed night.
Haha, God bless you both! You are so cute! There is nothing better than learning together!!! Life is…together love.

Love it, only thing I was hollering about was to eat that bit of corn on the end that didn't get cut. Sure looked yummy.
Nice job .
So so good on a cold winters day
Love the blue in your kitchen. This is a great video today.

When I was younger we grew corn and when it was time to freeze corn, we husked the corn on the garden. Mess left in the corn patch.
Very interesting post. You two seem to be having a lot of fun. I will have to try this. I wonder about the taste when thawed out.

Do you put the whole cobs in a ziploc bag?
Thats ridiculous!! Some of you have really dumb ways to freeze corn!
@@peggypeters6676Not if you steam your corn in the microwave in the husk. . Try it sometime. Especially helpful when cooking for one or two people.
@@peggypeters6676 Maybe try it. There are many good ways to do it.
@@beadwright If talking about leaving the husk on the answer is no. If without husk the answer is Yes.
We like winter prep, summer prep, spring prep, fall prep or no prep. Whatever, we like it.
You guys are too funny..cute that pot way too small for corn

Good stuff,
Looks good
The kingtroll, I live in Mass. and I pay seven fifty a dozen for corn, and am very happy to do it. It is the best corn you can have.
I live in Northern California and I pay two fifty to three fifty a dozen.
AHHH! THAT'S why "Grammie" needed sweetcorn for freezing! 🙂
she froze her own too!
I hate husking corn ,but I love corn 🌽
Good one
Sadie, you’re learning how to properly pop those ears off the stocks! Daniel needs to give you some more lessons! Y’all are so cute! Yes Daniel, y’all. It’s a southern thing! (I’m in Arkansas)
You didn't scrap the cream from the corn after cutting?
Exactly what I was thinking. Probably should have Grammy show you how & why. The Corn cream is so sweet.
@@roseargetsinger2217 Put it down to bring young and inexperienced,they will learn.
We scrape the ears too❤❤❤. Best corn ever!🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽
@@terrykunst3883 Good we didn't see you do it so assumed that you didn't.I am glad you did that's the best part.Sorry❤️❤️
Good stuff. Besides veggie boys. Wat other family members have you tube channels
Joel=A Stable Life
my grandma used to push the cob down over an angel food pan and all the kernels fell into the pan, a lot less messier
Sadie, how about following the produce from farm to customer. Whether individual or restaurant. Video what they do with it and share recipes. I always felt Veggie Boys channel needs to show what people do with your beautiful produce. Just an idea. Keep up the good work.
Why do you not scrape the cob after you get all the kernels off ?
Invest in a larger pot and save yourself some time and energy! Walmart has some reasonable priced stainless steel stock pots!!
PS slide the back of your knife down the cob and add it to your kernels yum!🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽
I bet the 😢farm kitchen 😮has large pots you could use.
Like video like this will you be doing canning food videos? Love the fact your channel is different.
