Freezing corn on the cob in their husks

Anything's possible....just toss them into the freezer and they will freeze.
But what will they be like when you thaw them? How to thaw? how to cook?...
Sorry I don't know.

That is the way I always do it, for corn on the cob use. Microwave as you prefer and then shuck it.So easy..as most of the silk comes off when you shuck it. You can split the shulk after heating (thawing out) and add butter. UMMMMM good!!!!!If you can't eat corn on the cob,slice it off in your plate.

Place corn in freezer bags of course.

Our neighbor showed me how to freeze corn on the cob. She cuts off the ends, just so the end of the cob shows: removes perhaps two or three of the outer husks; then packs the cobs in freezer bags. When she cooks them she just puts the frozen cob in boiling water for a little longer than you would fresh. She says the corn tastes like it was just picked.
Personally, I prefer to blanch, cut the the corn off the cob, and freeze packets of corn. I can't see taking up all that freezer space with inedible corn cobs, and anyway the chickens just LOVE the cobs after I cut off the corn!

I froze 60 ears of corn a couple weeks ago. I shuck the corn, cut it off the ear, portion into Zip-Locks, & freeze. No-parboiling. To cook, I nuke it from frozen for about 1 minute. It tastes just like fresh...so much better than commercial frozen corn. I've been freezing corn like this for decades. We like our corn with a little crunch...not mushy. If you like it cooked more then, maybe, add 10-20 more seconds in the nuker.

You can do it that way. I much prefer the taste of it if it's shucked and parboiled for a few minutes before freezing.

I always nuke my sweet corn in the husk when I eat it fresh or when I freeze it. If frozen, I zap it until it is hot again, then husk it. The husk and silks come off so easily. I'm the only one that eats a little fresh corn on the cob. DH hates it and DS eats it once in a while.

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.
