All this only makes me wonder what more recent editions of JOC have to say on the subject:).

Blanching for 8 - 15 MINUTES????? Or 6 to 11 MINUTES????? You sure it does not say SECONDS???? Blanching Vege's for more than a couple minutes is Boiling/Par Boiling....Not Blanching.

When I steam corn for eating, it takes a total of not more than 5 minutes in the pot. I prefer steaming to boiling. But to boil corn on the cob for up to 15 minutes before freezing. And then to serve, cooking it again seems that there would not be any taste left.

I read it just as written, not once but twice. Smiled to self about the changes in food prep from then to now:). When I boil corn it's prolly for 2 maybe 3 minutes nowadays.
