We probably have ours in the freezer for no more than six months as we have eaten them all by then. Alan4711 - don't defrost them, just plunge them into boiling water for no more than 10 minutes. If your cobs have shriveled in the freezer it is probably because you haven't eliminated as much air as possible or kept them too long. I have a plastic bag sealer but also use the Sainsburys zippy bags and both methods keep the cobs plump.
A friend passed on this cooking method for corn cobs which I think is fab. (Fresh cobs - don't know if it would work with frozen.)
Put the unprepared cob in the microwave, complete with its outer sheath "leaves" and tassel bits, and cook on High for 2-3 mins. (No need for water, because the outer sheath protects the corn from drying.)
The tassel pulls off easily once the cob is cooked, and the sheath can be peeled back and used as a "handle" to hold the cob while you eat it (in my case, smothered in butter...)
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

a friend told me. When they're cheap in store buy them, and freeze your own.
Liriodendron that sounds a very good method for sweet corn in a microwave. I have had a very good crop this year box I am going to have a go.
