When preparing vegetables for freezing, it's called "blanching". To blanch raw vegetables for freezing, let them boil for one to three minutes, depending on the vegetable. Then drain and place in cold water to stop the cooking process before placing them in air tight freezer bags.

∙ 14y agoYou are referring to what is called "blanching". The main reason for blanching is to deactivate enzymes that adversely affect flavor, color and texture. It also removes soil and bacteria, brightens color and helps retain vitamins. Blanching will also soften the vegetables to allow for easier packaging. See Related Links.

Do you have to blanch corn before freezing?
Corn does not need to be blanched before freezing. The excess liquid in it will cause the corn to expan upon freezing and then wrinkle more when defrosted. The caveat to all of this is that you do need to cook the corn thoroughly at a high enough temperature to kill any bacteria no matter which path you choose to take.
Can you cook vegetables ahead for a big meal?
Yes, you can cook vegetables before a big meal. You can "par" cook them, meaning that they are not completely cooked for consumption, refrigerate them, and then finish cooking them with the remainder of the meal. Or, you can cook them completely, refrigerate them for up to three days, and then reheat them for the meal, or you can freeze them after completely cooking them and just reheat them for the meal. Bottom line - you must refrigerate or freeze them immediately after cooking them the first time or bacteria can grow quickly & ruin them for consumption.
