How long after you blanch corn on the cob can you wait for it to cool before you put it in freezer bags?
Most people blanch it. Then, have ice & water in the sink and put the corn in it. This cools it off fast. You can freeze it right away. Otherwise it might take a half hour to cool. The reason for waiting isn't "for the corn to cool" (it wouldn't hurt the corn to go into the freezer while it's hot) it's to protect your other items in the freezer from being exposed to the heat.
