With tongs, remove from water, and plunge immediately into ice bath. When corn is thoroughly cooled, remove from ice bath. Using a large knife, remove kernels from cobs. Transfer kernels to a large bowl. Add green and wax beans to boiling water. Blanch until tender, about 1 minute. With a slotted spoon, remove from water, and plunge immediately into ice bath. When beans are thoroughly cooled, drain in colander.
