KITTENCAL'S METHOD FOR OVEN COOKED BACON
When I make this I make lots and then freeze in bags using my Food Saver storage system, this method saves time and not to mention the greasy clean up that comes with frying, I pour the grease into a Pyrex measuring cup then save and refrigerate overnight or until hard then scoop out a few tablespoons at a time, freeze on plates then I place in freezer bags to use in recipes to add flavor, you may save or discard the grease --- since RZ system would not accept one ingredient I have listed 1-1/2 pounds bacon separately, you may of course use as much as you like.

KITTENCAL'S METHOD FOR FREEZING CORN ON THE COB
This is the method I use to freeze summer's crop of corn on the cob, with this method you will have crispy corn kernels all year around --- I have stated 10 corn, you may of coarse make as many as you wish, but just boil as many as your pot will hold, if you are making a lot of corn you will have to do it in batches, to save time I shuck my corn the day or evening ahead and refrigerate --- you will need lots of ice for this so pick up a bag and also a large pot --- prep time does not include shucking the corn

Steps:
- Have all you cobs of corn shucked and silks removed before starting this.
- Pour ice into a large bowl then fill with very cold water; set aside on the counter near your stove.
- Fill a large pot of water a little over half full.
- Add in the sugar; bring to a full boil.
- Add in as many cobs of corn that will fit into the pot without over crowding.
- Bring the water up to a FULL boil again; cook the corn JUST until the cobs turn a darker yellow which will not take long (about 3 minutes) turning the cobs over in the water if necessary using long tongs to insure even cooking.
- Just when the corn takes on a darker shade of yellow, using long tongs immediately plunge into the bowl of ice water and allow to sit until completely cooled.
- Place the cobs onto a clean tea towel. to drain slightly.
- Dry the outside of each cob slightly with a clean tea towel.
- Wrap each cob individually in a piece of foil to prevent any freezer burn that might develop over the long freezing time.
- Place the foil-wrapped cobs in a large bag, then freeze.
- WHEN READY TO USE; remove as many cobs as you wish from the freezer place on the counter to thaw slightly (the corn does not have to be completely thawed).
- To heat the corn; place 1 cob into a microwave-safe plate and cook on high for 3-4 minutes or until completely heated through, turning the cob halfway through cooking time or for a more even heating place 1 cob of corn into a Glad Simply Cooking Microwave Steaming bag, seal and microwave for 3 minutes (I use the steaming bags to heat the corn).
- The corn is now ready to eat and enjoy!
Tips:
- Select the right corn: Choose sweet corn that is fresh and has plump kernels. Avoid corn that is overripe or has blemishes.
- Blanch the corn: Blanching the corn before freezing helps to preserve its color, flavor, and nutrients. To blanch the corn, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the corn and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the kernels are bright yellow and tender. Immediately transfer the corn to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Cut the corn off the cob: Once the corn is cool, use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off the cob. You can also use a corn stripper to make this process easier.
- Spread the corn in a single layer: When freezing the corn, spread it out in a single layer on a baking sheet. This will help to prevent the kernels from clumping together.
- Freeze the corn quickly: Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze the corn for at least 2 hours, or until it is solid.
- Store the corn properly: Once the corn is frozen, transfer it to a freezer-safe bag or container. Label the bag or container with the date and freeze for up to 1 year.
Conclusion:
Freezing corn is a great way to preserve its freshness and flavor. By following these tips, you can ensure that your frozen corn is of the highest quality. So next time you have a surplus of corn, don't let it go to waste! Freeze it and enjoy it all year long.
