and combustible liquids referred to in NFPA 30 and other NFPA codes and. standards. The classification system is based primarily on the flash point of the. liquid; that is, the minimum temperature at which sufficient vapor is given off. the liquid to form an ignitable mixture with air. Flammable liquids are classified by NFPA as Class I, which are further sub-. classified, based upon additional criteria that affect fire risk, as Class IA, Class. IB and Class IC - these liquids have flash points below 100 ÂºF (37.8 ÂºC) or less.
â When the water comes to a boil, throw in the corn and cover with a lid. The amount of time required will range from 1-10 minutes depending on how soft you want it to be and how young the kernels are. If you like it very soft, then let it boil for 10 minutes. â When you are removing the corn from water, use tongs, so that you do not burn your hands.
Corn requires a brief heat treatment, called blanching, in boiling water or steam, to destroy the enzymes before freezing. Blanching times generally vary from one to 10 minutes, depending on the vegetable. The duration should be just long enough to stop the action of the enzymes. Begin counting the blanching time as soon as you place the corn in the boiling water, noting that the water ought to return to a boil in a minute or less.
