CORN COB DRYING

[johncrane]

Do you have problems when drying out your corncobs
some of mine have dryed out with a bend in them. This is what l have come up with to keep them straight.you wrap the corn in paper and place it in a steel or

poly pipe make it a tight fit and leave it in the sun to dry. Is there another way! what do you do to keep them straight.

Yep, corncobs will definitely curl up on ya when drying them. I have used a dehaydrator with little but better results. The best way I have found is to take a drive to one of the nearby seed companies and grab a few handfuls out of the piles of thousands! Dried by mother naturee and usually as straight as an arrow.


That looks like a sweetcorn cob ya have there!

Cool tip. Would soaking the paper in DNA pull moisture out of the cob?

Skye l have been wraping the corn in paper towel and drying them on top of the fridge but it takes about 2 weeks for them to dry'the only corn l have use is from the super market which l eat first. now l use the pipe in the sun they come out straight as' lm also trying out another way l will post a photo of it.

You can get dried corn cobs at pet stores. They sell it for Squirrel feeders. Walmart also has them.

Recently did a cigar pen with one and it was great.
