Yee haw 🤠🤠🤠

This brought back so many memories of me and my brothers sitting around our old picnic table out back shucking and silking the summer harvest while mom was cutting the corn off the cob into her pans. Some was for cream corn that we’d enjoy right away with fresh tomatoes out of the garden and homemade biscuits. The rest was processed for storage either as is or along with cabbage and green beans together for her family famous chow-chow. Mom had the unique talent of being able to start each component of the chow at the appropriate time so that each would come into their peak flavors ready for processing. That chow chow sure tasted great with hot sausage and cornbread when there was snow on the ground! I’m almost 60 now and can still remember the summers growing up saving our harvest each year. Thanks to our wonderful mother who took the time to show us how to truly live a good life. Rest In Peace mom, you’re truly missed but fondly remembered. ❤️ Also, thanks for putting this video onto KZread as it brought back a flood of memories. ❤️

We don't cut the bunt cake pan, the cob is pretty much uniform in size on most sweet corn and it works prefectly. Cut a hole in the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket, sit it over the hole in the table and place the bunt pan in the 5 gallon bucket, doing this keeps all the splatter from pushing the corn through the bunt pan hole contained in the 5 gallon bucket. Also, place the table about a foot above the floor on cinder blocks and sit in a chair while doing this makes it much easier to accomplish, especially when creaming several hundred ears of corn.

The board cleans easily but dried corn milk on a wall is like trying to remove cement.

Well, this is one I did not care for!! I saw that video, my wife pointed it out, one thing if it’s the same video I noticed, they were putting boiled corn through the pan, which I have never liked. I like a much finer cut in my cream corn, In fact I generally double-cut mine then scrap it. I will stick to the old fashioned way in this one, a good sharp old hickory and a cake pan, it’s how my dad taught me, and how I’ll continue. Just put 8 -3 cup cartons in freezer!

Bill, That is the first thing I noticed on the video (they were boiling their corn first). We never boil our corn before we put it in the freezer ( my wife's aunt always told us never let water touch your corn before you freeze it). We pick our corn smaller then most people, we think it gets tough and not as sweet if you let it get to big. Over the last 35 years we have tried many different ways to cut our corn off the cob and we always go back to using a good sharp knife to cut it off (that is the way my wife and I both were raised doing it). This worked well with the expandable cutter on top, it isn't perfect but man is it fast and my hands didn't hurt when I was done. We have about 800 more ears to pick over the next few weeks so I will try this again and let you know what I think by the end of the season. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and thanks for watching.

Not just the electric knife, but pre-cooking and bagging with butter is a good idea too. I processed my first decent sized harvest shortly after that last comment I made. I just blanched, cut off with a serrated knife, and froze in freezer bags. Came out great and was easier than I thought! I also froze a bunch of whole cobs still in the husks. I wrapped each individual one in plastic wrap, and put them in freezer bags. It's better than most frozen corn on the cob but isn't the same as fresh. I planted a small patch for a thanksgiving harvest and will try pre-cooking and freezing some this time.
