Two Delicious Ways to Reheat Frozen Steamed Corn
Simple and Quick Methods to Reheat Frozen Steamed Corn Using Microwave and Rice Cooker
Enjoy the natural sweetness and savory flavor of corn anytime with these two easy methods for reheating frozen steamed corn. Steaming corn and freezing it without any additives preserves its original delicious taste. This guide will show you how to perfectly reheat your frozen corn using either a microwave or a rice cooker, making it as delightful as freshly steamed corn, perfect for a quick and healthy snack or side dish.
Ingredients- 4 frozen steamed corn cobs
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup water (adjust according to method)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, take out the steamed corn cobs from your freezer.
Step 2
Method 1 (Microwave): Place the frozen steamed corn cobs in a microwave-safe dish. Add 1/4 cup of water to the dish. Cover the dish with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam to escape. This helps to keep the corn moist during reheating.
Step 3
Microwave on high power for 5 minutes. The exact time might vary depending on the size of the corn and your microwave’s wattage.
Step 4
After 5 minutes, carefully flip the corn cobs over. Re-cover the dish and microwave for another 4 minutes. A total of about 9 minutes should leave the corn thoroughly heated and tender.
Step 5
Method 2 (Rice Cooker): Pour 1/2 cup of water into the inner pot of your rice cooker. Place a steamer basket or rack over the water. If you don’t have a steamer basket, you can carefully place the corn directly into the pot, ensuring it doesn’t sit in the water.
Step 6
Arrange the frozen steamed corn cobs on the steamer basket. Try not to overcrowd the basket; arranging them in a single layer if possible will ensure even heating.
Step 7
Close the rice cooker lid and select the ‘Quick Rice’ or ‘Express Cook’ setting (or a dedicated steaming function if available). Press the cook button. Using the quick cook function will result in moist and warm corn, reminiscent of freshly steamed corn.
