Don't think I've ever frozen corn on the cob prolly since I rarely eat starches anymore and if I do they have to be "at the top of their game". For corn that normally means I'm near a corn patch and a pot of water is already boiling before I start picking.
So I looked to see what my American culinary bible, JOC (Joy of Cooking), said to do before responding. My earliest edition suggests blanching for 8-15 minutes(depends on variety) before freezing whilst the '76 edition sez 6-11 minutes (depending on steam vs pot of water blanching.
All this only makes me wonder what more recent editions of JOC have to say on the subject:).
