This is a very informative video. I don't see how you had the sanity to bother with a camera facing that much corn to do by yourself. But we are all so glad you did!! I can remember as a kid my sister and I shucking and getting the silk out while mother cut it off the cobb. Of course, we were outside so there was not a big mess. Wasn't it hot? Yep. But it was hot inside too cause we had no A/C....lolol. Really, this is a very good video and lots of tremendous comments. Jesus bless!!
Thank you so much! Childhood memories are the best!
That sink reminds me of my grandparents double wide trailer. What a lovely memory. It's been I guess about ten years since I've seen that kitchen.
My great grandmother loved creamed corn. She came over to NY from England after WW2 on the Queen Elizabeth 2 took a month. She never had corn in England. Thank you for sharing.
Loved watching. I think I'll try putting corn up.
That's the fastest shucking I've ever seen! :) I've put up whole corn after taking the hair out and leaving the shuck then placing them inside a plastic bag sealed and then placing it into a paper bag and into the freezer they go. I didn't even blanch it. It came out really tasty and it had only a little frost on it because of the paper bag. I haven't grown corn again for 2 years but this year I have a 70 ft row so here we go again!
haha! Yeah, once Patti gets her motor revving, she can really go! :-) Well 70' oughta give you plenty! When do you expect to harvest?
+Alderman Farms It's only a foot tall so I expect it will be late fall. I was late getting it in. chicken coop n barn came first.
Well we hope it does well for you! Let us know.
Where's your helpers?? I'd have my kids washing that corn, my husband scraping it, and I'd bag it! Boom bang job done! LOL I can't wait to use my tool.....just bought it for this year's harvest. Thx for your video!
Haha! Well all my kids are grown and gone and the husband has a full time job!😃 He usually helps but you can’t always plan when the corn comes in!! Hope you like your tool as much as I do!! Thx for watching!!💙
Your fast girl, love your video. Remember safety is # one on your Homestead.
thanks, William. Patti has two speeds: wide open, and stop. ;-)
O yea love watching.
Great video.
Wow! That is a lot of work. Have you seen the Kerry's Corn Creamer? Probably do all that in 1/3 the time.
We used to use the cutter you have and blanch after cutting. We now blanch in the microwave(I know, but it's worked for years for us) and I bought an ez-creamer this year. Put up 300 ears today and got about 37 quart freezer boxes. I'll never use a board or knife again! We put our corn on the cob up in the freezer still in the shuck. Keeps really well saves money on packaging and blanching as well as the time to blanch & cool it.
THREE HUNDRED EARS! Wow. Never heard of an ez-creamer, but will look it up right now! We will have to try freezing some in the shucks. You're about the 3rd person to mention that. ha.
+Alderman Farms My step mother just pulls out 6-8 ears & creams it with a knife whenever they want to eat corn. I prefer to go ahead & get it over with & pull it out of the freezer & cook it. I'd blanch it on the cob in a large crawfish pot & use a cooler with running water to cool if I had a pot big enough. My boss & his neighbors get together & do this using an 80qt pot.
This is the best price I found. Free shipping also. Use an $18 110v drill from Walmart with it. lawn-gardening-tools.com/Item/EZ-Creamer
Yeah, I'm with you - I'd rather get it over with, and so would Patti. MUCH easier to have it done and already in family-sized servings ready to heat up. We've got the pot to do it outside like that, but as Patti mentioned, with me and our youngest son at work and unable to assist, it would've been too much for her to haul the corn in. Next time, though, the crawfish pot it is. It's funny - after she said that I told her, "I wonder how many people watching the video will have any idea what a crawfish pot is?" hahaha
THAT THING IS AMAZING!
YAYYYY nothing went to waste
This has been very informative.
I got one for ya about peas. My parents were born in the teen's. We my brothers and parents would shell peas and mama would put them uncleaned in a white cotton pillow case and freeze them. Clean them as you eat them my wife cooked some from 2019 the other day pinkeyes the were still off the chain with neck bones.
That’s how I usually put them up too!! My sister told me about that! I’m going to try canning some this year I think!
Loved watching how you put up corn.
thanks!! Patti is pretty amazing, if I say so myself. ~ Tommy A. ;-)
I’m from Texas and my family always put up cream corn like this. The only thing different is that we didn’t blanch the ears before scraping. We scraped and then took all of the creamed corn and put in a pot on the stove and cooked it for a little bit , probably more like blanched it, and then when it cooled off we put it up in freezer bags. We also layed them flat so that we could fit more in the freezer.
Your doing it the best way!
This is the way my family does it.
Hi, Saw you on BFH, and thought I'd visit your channel. When I put up corn, I husk, wash corn. Then while the corn is RAW, I cut off cob. I then place the corn along with 1 to 2 cups of water in a large baking dish. ( have several in oven at one time ) . Bake in the oven at 350 till corn is hot. Stirring every once in awhile. Let corn cool, then place in freezer bags. I have been using this method for 30 plus years, and find its much easier and with less mess. Hope you give it a try. Thanks for sharing. Susie in TN
Patti said that would certainly be a lot easier, and she has a friend who does the same, except she actually uses the microwave to blanch. Patti's only question was, "It doesn't splatter more when cutting off the cob raw?" She's very intrigued by your suggestion. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by!
Snip off any xs husks that go way beyond the corn ie more than 2 inches (about twice the length of your last thumb joint). Fold any side leaves back in place or snip them off but leave the bulk of the husk around the corn. Cut off any excess stem but leave enough where the leaves of the husk hold together. Wash off and vegetable brush off the outside.
Toss it into the freezer bag with husk in place.
When it comes out of the freezer, leave the husk on and microwave about 4 minutes. Begin to check the corn if it is the first time cooking it. If it is not hot yet keep trying about half a minute till you figure out how long it takes YOUR microwave to get an ear of corn hot.
When the corn is hot and ready, cut off the rest of the stem, brush off the silk with a brush, and put your corn on a plate wit NO husk any more. Add what you want like butter and do feel free to coat it well, , salt, and sriracha. I just swirl that sriracha on like you would swirl on mustard on a hot dog. Put the corn back in the microwave for about 2 minutes. Again, figure out what works on your own microwave.
Microwaved sriracha corn makes a great movie snack. Its also a great thing to much on when people come in starving and want something to take the edge off till dinner is ready.
Leaving the husk on in that initial cooking helps steam in some corn flavor.
For people that dont like heat....I know folks that put butter alone, then microwave. Then they add cinnamon and sugar....which melts in the hot butter. Its easier that way then keeping kids from burning sugar in your microwave by adding sugar before cooking. Other people like salt, mayo and dried cheese like Parmesan.
If any of yall dont like corn cause your eating that canned garbage then please DO grab some FRESH corn in the green husk. Run home with it, clean it off, get rid of any extra length that is stem or husk (cause it MUST be able to TURN in the microwave on the rotating tray. Dont start no fires yall. Use your microwave like the manual says and make sure foods are small enough to fit and turn. ) By the time ya find your can opener and a dish to put your corn in, and a spoon to scoop it out of the can, your corn could already be in the microwave turning into something tasty for ya.
Hot dogs go well with this if ya want more of a meal. Get ground beef. Locally I can get 95 lean, 5 fat...and this works. Lean is good. Get out a nonstick sheet that you use to bake with. (Im talking about your nonstick cookie sheet liner. Ya can have the cookie sheet under it.) Roll out the meat very thin and add salt, pepper, garlic, onion, paprika..or whatever else to your taste. Now grab a bit off the end and begin to roll it into hot dog size and shape. The beauty is that you know exactly what is in it. Read the label of hot dogs some time re food coloring, and other things added. If ya want just beef, use just beef. I microwave in a microwave safe griddle with a lid. Microwave these for 2 minutes on a side. Roll the hot dog about 1/4 turn, and keep doing that till all 4 sides are browned. Now start using 1 minutes on a side. Keep rolling them when the microwave beeps till done. Know that these will have a coarser texture than hotdogs...ie more of a hamburger mouth feel. If you want finely ground like hot dogs....tell your butcher, or grind the meat yourself to a find hotdog like texture. If feeding just adults, many prefer the courser mouth feel. The beauty of home cooking is that it gets to be exactly what YOU like. Caution: when you later look at a hot dog and it is that bright food coloring pink....or has a different taste or mouth feel than beef, ya can feel FREE to eye it with suspicion cause you will KNOW its not just beef. Also know that there are no chemical names ya cant pronounce in YOUR hot dogs.
Every week chop up onions, bell pepper, and garlic in a big batch and put it in your fridge. Feel free to add things like mushrooms if ya got em. Saute up that mixture then store it in a Tupperware like box in the fridge. If ya have that, ya can toss a bunch of this on your cooked hot dog....once of course you have added, mayo, mustard, ketchup, barbecue sauce, sriracha, salsa, steak sauce, teriyaki, peanut sauce or what ever else fits your mood. If ya forgot the hot dog buns, thats ok, cause you can eat the hot dog and these vegetables. Add your corn on the cob. Hopefully you also also have some kinda salad fixins in the fridge or cole slaw ready to go.
Not only can ya use that vegetable mixture with your hot dogs, it makes eggs in the mornings much easier. Fix your eggs in your nonstick microwave grill ie about 4 minutes. Dump that on your plate. Nuke your vegetables from your vegetable mix for a minute or two from your vegetable mix. Add some fresh sliced tomato, toast, coffee...and your pretty much set to go. IF ya want potatoes, I use RED potatoes, wash those and put about 4 about the size your hand makes when you make an O with your fingers. Nuke that for 10 minutes while you get out the rest of your breakfast stuff and put some water on to boil for coffee or tea. While the eggs cook and then the vegetable mix, slice your potatoes. Brown some bacon, then brown your potatoes in your microwave grill or on the stove top. Brown your toast in your microwave grill or in your skillet.
Re the vegetable box in the fridge....DO consider keeping a separate box if your into spinach dip, spinach souffle, spinach quiche, spinach with omelettes, spinach pie etc. Remember that if ya have it, your much more likely to hide spinach into the eggs, meat loaf, hot dogs, spaghetti sauce etc. If the kids notice the bitter taste, add sugar to your spinach mix till its not bitter any more before using it.
Ya can really up the vegetables in your diet IF the vegetables are right there ready to be used.
On a different note, corn is not a complete protein. It does have some amino acids (building blocks to make protein) but not all. A great complementary food is black bean dip. You can either use salt, onion powder, garlic OR salt plus your vegetable mix to spice this. If using vegetable mix....add that to your blender first with just enough juice from the beans to cover your blender blades. Go whir. Add in the beans with NO added liquid. Spice the beans if you did not use vegetable mix. Go whir again. Now if you want it....add things like hot sauce or sriracha slowly to taste. Black beans and other beans have the other protein building blocks that corn does not have. These beans dont have to be eaten at the same meal with corn....but if readily available to eat during the week, that will be a nutritional boost. You can add some additional whole beans to where you can eat this like refried beans, or serve black bean dip with bread, crackers, chips, crisp vegetable/fruit chips for dipping etc. (Think carrot sticks and cucumber slices). Other protein combos include black eyed peas and rice, spaghetti with peanuts ...usually made into a peanut sauce and poured over the pasta, quinoa and fried garbanzo beans added to salad.....etc. These combos plus keeping deviled eggs or boiled eggs in the fridge ready to munch....cuts down on the cost of feeding a family their protein requirement. This doesnt replace meat as vitamin B12 is found only in meat products and eggs. It does help the budget though.
Re quick calorie "what can I have" snacks, red potatoes, washed, nuked for 10 minutes, then sliced and sauteed either in the microwave grill pan or stove top skillet....along with vegetable mix....is easy. Add salt, pepper, butter....and barbecue sauce with or without sriracha to get though those mid morning or afternoon....need a snack....times. A home made hot dog or two would also go with this if desired. If really hungry, put some deviled eggs and a salad or cole slaw on that plate as well
What I am describing includes a great deal of beef and eggs in the diet. Please DO think about other proteins as well like shrimp, crab, oysters, fish, chicken, ham etc and incorporate these into meals. Realize that if you make tuna salad, ham salad, chicken salad etc...you can put portions into quart zip lock bags and freeze. A bag of meat salad on the counter at room temperature and thawed about 30 minutes will be ready to add into a sandwich. Eat meat a day or two....then chop up the extra into a freezer bag. Once your bag of meat has plenty, use it in a recipe ex left over chicken can be used to make chicken and dumplings, chicken pie, barbecue chicken etc. That sea food can be used to make seafood gumbo so save those pieces of fish, crab, shrimp, sausage etc into that gumbo freezer bag. Left over ground beef can be added to spaghetti sauce or used to make sloppy joes....so save that extra to the freezer. You should have several freezer bags going to which you add left over meat. Dont forget a bag for ham to use to add ham to vegetables like green beans, or split pea soup. Even if your a city folk and buy store bought soups, nothin says you cant saute up some of that freezer meat to add extra to that soup you buy from the store. Remember extra meats can be added to your morning scrambled eggs, sauteed and put on top of your salads etc. Offer food as left overs ONCE....then freeze it and use it some other way. Nutritionally folks need to move on from eating the same thing every day. A week or so later....that food will look wonderful again.
Another tip I learned over the years that I WISH I new sooner...is to NOT cook with water. Cook those beans in broth from beef, chicken or vegetables. Cook that roast in the oven in apple juice with added apple jelly and sliced apples to really punch up the apple flavor. DO feel free to add your onions, potatoes, carrots to this mix. Cook rice in some broth or in a fruit juice. Think chicken with orange flavored rice for example. Use sugar free juice. Toss in cooked bacon if still too sweet. Also use alternatives when making bread instead of water.
Thank you!
Love this video
Thanks for the great video! I'm going to have to get one of those corn scrapers.
You're welcome! We love those things. There's an amazon affiliate link right near the top of the video description section (that means we get a small commission if you buy through that link, but you pay the same price you would normally pay), so check them out. We have at least two of them, and I think we have three. ;-)
awesome job, love me some creamed corn, baby lima beans and lots of sweet creamy butter, yummmmmmmm
HUSH! You're making my mouth water!! lol :-) Thanks for chiming in, Yank!
This is really neat. Great video, looking forward to seeing more. :)
Well, thanks! We are so happy to be part of The Homestead Network! A little nervous about our first live show Sunday, but I'm sure we'll survive it. Thanks for taking the time to comment! ;-)
You're among friends so don't sweat it! Just think of us sitting in front of our screen in our underwear and you're just laughing! That's what they taught us when I was in sales! Dah!
Oh great. THANKS! hahaha Ok, if I get to giggling, you'll know why! :-D
Found y'all out from the Big Family Homestead Channel. Great content and looking forward to more. My only complaint is that now I'm HUNGR (ha ha). God Bless!!!!!!!
hahaha! thanks, Bryan, and welcome. We are so thankful to now be a part of The Homestead Network. ;-)
just blanched ours outside in the big pot with a strainer. way way faster than doing it in the house. when we took it out of the strainer we put it an even bigger pot with water hose running in it to keep it cool.
Yep! Patti would much rather have done that, but being by herself she didn't want to hassle with toting all that corn back and forth. ;-)
We used to put corn in the freezer and then we had a power outage. Now I can my corn. I’ve been doing that now for about five years or year ago we got a natural gas generator so when the power goes out in the neighborhood we still have power however I’m still canning 🌽
Thank you for sharing
You’re welcome!
Love love love these videos, Ms. Patti! How do you preserve squash and zucchini?
thanks so much, Ananda! Ive had good luck freezing squash and zucchini.
Awesome job....thanks for the instruction!
hello,, very good video,,, thank you,, we freeze a lot of thing out of our garden,,, James,,,,
thanks, James!
Wow Patty! Way to go girl! Putting up corn is really hard work. I've been putting up corn nearly all my 58 yrs. I've never used a corn scrapper. I've always just used a knife. When I do corn I blanch the corn in the hot water. After that I dump them in a sink of ice water. Then I'll drain them before freezing them. Do you not put the corn into ice water after having it on the stove?
I typically use my cookie cooling racks, and so far so good! ;-)
Great! I've have to give that a try.
let me know how it works for you!
What is the variety of corn you are using, is it field corn or sweet corn?
Great question! It was “G-90” sweet corn
That will be so good later on! Have you ever tried canning it?
Hi Ann - Patti said she likes it frozen so well that she's never tried canning it! She has a friend who cans it, and it just takes so long compared to her current method that she can't bring herself to try it. :-)
This is an old video I don`t know if I`ll get a reply or not but why do you cook it first when it`s going to get cooked in the pressure canner?
I have tried some different ways of cutting it off the cob. I want the link where I can get one of your style of corn cutters. This is a great video btw
Thanks, Timothy! We love those things. I think we have three or four of them. We put the link in the description (right near the top), but I'll see if I can put it here: Wooden Corn Cutter & Creamer: amzn.to/295heJG
Hope that link works. Thanks again!
I like that better than the stupid handheld thing I have that throws the corn everywhere!
Us too! We've tried different things, but this is the real deal. We may find something better in the future, but can't imagine it. Very happy with these things.
Putting up squish.
Why are you blanching the corn? Is there a benefit? My husband and I can corn, cutting it from the cob but have never blanched it.
Blanching stops the enzyme activity and prevents it from getting “starchy.” If you are canning it, the same thing happens during the canning process, so there’s no need to blanch it before canning. :-)
Thanks so much!
How do you boil your corn?
That's a lot of work by yourself. That was a good mess of corn. Only thing we did different was to put the blanched corn in ice water to cool it down. You can't buy corn like that at the store. If you ask if it's worth the trouble, the answer is "YES". It's kind of like chickens. You can buy cheap eggs at the store but you can't buy the benefits. Great video! Sunday, Sunday. See ya Sunday.
It was a LOT of work, but Patti burned through it like a hot knife through butter! When she puts her nose to the stone, nothing stops her! ;-) You're so right about the benefits (and the taste) being worth the effort. That's part of the reason we do everything we do here: can't buy corn like like. can't buy chicken like ours. can't buy pork...can't buy milk, etc, etc. We sleep well at night knowing what we're eating. Thanks, as always, for your kindness. Be pulling for us Sunday! We're a little nervous! ;-)
You'll do great It takes time to workout the tech stuff. We understand and we are praying it goes smooth as silk.
Thanks, Karen. We really appreciate your support. Pray it's smoother than corn silk. ;)
not hairs they are silks
Thanks for sharing. I'm still confused I thought you were also showing how to cream the corn??
I agree, I was waiting for recipe
It's actually, creamed in the bag. It's creamed, by way of getting it off the cob in that manner. Add seasoning when you cook it.

Girl, you have processed some corn!
Patti is a MACHINE when she gets cranked up! ~ Tommy A. :-)
Sup / that look. 👌👌👌
thanks, Natalie!
No problem
I learned nothing about makin cream corn 😠
