How to Boil Frozen Corn for a Sweet and Tender Result
Do you know how to boil and store corn, but want to make frozen corn even more delicious? A few simple tips for boiling frozen corn can ensure you always have a delightful snack ready for the kids, especially during school breaks. Let’s learn how to make corn taste as fresh and sweet as if it were just harvested!
Ingredients
- Frozen corn (as needed)
- Water (enough to cover the corn)
- 1 Tbsp coarse salt
- 2 Tbsp sugar
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
This is the frozen corn, taken directly from the freezer. It’s still very cold and hasn’t been thawed at all.
Step 2
It’s best to lightly season the boiling water. Add 1 tablespoon of coarse salt. Salt enhances the natural sweetness of the corn.
Step 3
Add 2 tablespoons of sugar for extra sweetness. Sugar will further enrich the corn’s inherent flavor.
Step 4
Now, place the prepared frozen corn into the pot. Don’t worry if the salt and sugar don’t dissolve immediately; they will melt naturally during the boiling process and infuse the corn with flavor.
Step 5
Add enough water to completely cover the corn and bring it to a boil. If using a pressure cooker, boil for about 15 minutes. If using a regular pot, boil for about 20 minutes. Cook until the corn is tender and delicious.
Step 6
Voila! Your delicious corn is ready. While there are many ways to boil frozen corn, I find that using a pressure cooker yields the most tender and flavorful results. Enjoy this delightful corn, perfect as a snack for kids or a side with your favorite beverage!
