How to Cream Corn

prepping the corn

Cream corn…it doesn’t have to have any cream and/or any butter. All you need is good ‘ol fresh corn on the cob! This came right out of our garden.

How to cream corn

Grab yourself a whole bunch of corn (out of the garden or head to your local farmer’s market)…

Cut both ends of the corn cob to expose the kernels.

Cream the corn using the Easy Creamer or by hand. The easy creamer is produced about 30 minutes south of here, it makes creaming corn super easy!! It shucks, silks and either creams or cuts the corn off the cob. They even have instructional videos up on their website. But here is how we did it. You will need a drill, table, bucket and trash bin. A word of warning…it is messy so don’t wear any clothes you don’t want to be covered in corn:)

  1. Mount E-Z Creamer to platform with two mounting screws that are included.
  2. Insert cob screw (also included) in drill motor and tighten with chuck.
  3. Screw cob screw in large end of corn.
  4. Insert corn into bottom tube below brush, using drill motor in a clock wise direction, move up and down until cob is free of shuck and silk.
  5. After corn is cleaned, insert corn in top tube, run in a clock wise direction until corn is creamed usually one or two times in out and out is sufficient.
  6. Put drill motor in reverse, unscrew from cob. Repeat process.

Blanch the creamed corn in the microwave by cooking it on high for 3-4 minutes.

Let cool. Portion into 2-3 cup servings, depending on your needs, and vacuum seal to preserve freshness.

  • There is nothing like coming home after a day out to the
    smell of something cooking and knowing your dinner is almost ready.

    This means that over 50% enjoy fussing at the
    stove ‘ many of them enjoy the activity and others see it as a necessary task.

    Cook the vegetables in the same manner; as vegetables near doneness,
    return the meat to the wok, stir and serve immediately.
