a couple of years ago my sister told me how she blanches cream style corn in a pan in the oven , i tried it and it worked great
this year we are going to cream 600 ears of sweet corn and i think i can do the same thing and save a lot of time by using my 2 electric steam tables , that way we can bring it to near the boiling point 2 pans at a time before cooling it and baging it
 
we are planning on doing the 600 ears on aug. 2nd afterward i will post pictures of the process, from start to finish
 
if the corn will be used up within 12-18 months, blanching is of not real use.
I never blanch anymore.
shuck - cut off the cob - freeze.

blanching is aimed at preserving color. might be okay for 4-5 year in the freezer, for shorter use, not needed.
 
blanching does indeed need to be done , blanching kills bacteria on the corn , it also stops an enzyme that's inside the corn kernals that would otherwise can cause it to lose flavor and texture
 
i promised pictures but we were so busy we forgott to take picture's of the corn
being blanched but we did manage to take a few pictures of every thing else , we processed 600 ears friday and saturday we got 147 pints from the 600 ears and we are worn out !!

glad you asked , its made just for creaming corn , it works be spinning the ear of corn at high speed against a set of floating plastic teeth , the teeth rip the corn kernels open , the high speed slings everything off the cob and the tube catches it and lets it drain into the pan , if you look at the picture you can see that i am useing a corded electric drill, thats because a corded drill spins much faster than a cordless and thus it gets the cob clean with nothing left but the cob
i was getting about 1 pint of corn for every 4 ears of corn

Yes corded stuff always wins!
So this teeth tube thing, is this something you made or something you can buy?
I only ask because it looks useful for making creamed corn.
 
i bought it from Amazon for i think $ 69 or70 dollars and its worth every penny if you going to do a lot of corn there it comes with an attachment that shucks and silks the corn too
and before someone asks, if i figure it right the corn cost us about $110.00 per pint
thats cheaper than we can buy canned corn and this tastes sooooo much better
