Corn On The Cob (grocery store, steaming, salt, dinner)

[cynwldkat]

I put a couple of ears that are shucked into a zip lock baggie, leave a corner open and microwave it for about 3 minutes. This retains all those vit. and flavor. It's the best way I've ever had corn on the cob. For me it tastes so much better then cooking in water! Yum--slather with butter and s&p.

I put mine in a pot with cold water and put sugar on top. Im used to Sugar Queen corn so thats the way I always cook it. I let it boil until I can stick a fork in the kernals than I take it and put it on a plate and put the butter on it while its still piping hot

This time I shucked the corn and put it into boiling water for about 2-3 minutes, melted butter, salt, pepper...it was outstanding...

So, how do YOU cook it. I remember my grandmother putting it into a "pressure cooker for about 15 mins" why??

On the BBQ I do NOT shuck it, I wash the outside so its wet and put in on the BBQ until a couple sides are dark...then shuck it and its great..

Hope my little corn patch can do something soon........???

HW...Happy trails, and good harvest eatin...

we never boil are corn. we always steam it. you lose to much flavor when you boil. when we steam it take about 10 minutes after water starts to steam also you mean COTC NOT COTB...LOL

Splash of white ving in the pot with some salt and boil till the kernals turn bright and puff a little.

Growing corn in small patches it hard because corn grows up to be a boy or a girl and the bees have to help them do thier thing. You may want to try to hand polinate next year.

Yes, steaming is the way to do it....I will do that next.

Microwave...hmmmok will try it.

The corn we get is from Colorado and is great when you can get it next day.

Happy trails,

I Microwave mine in a 13X9 glass dish covered with plastic wrap
for 4 to 5 ears 14 min then let set for 5 min.

No watery taste, and stays hotter longer.

I shuck and wash then slather with butter and sprinkle with sugar. Wrap individually in wax paper and microwave for 4 minutes (per ear of corn). Serve with additional butter, salt & pepper (if desired).

[LaceyEx]

I use about 1" water, sugar-bring to quick boil and turn off heat and leave in pot.

Either boil it or grill it... but I love using cajun butter on top! MMM MMM Delicious!

[Calico696]

I boil enough water to cover. Put in corn, turn off heat....11 minutes, delicious! The NJ corn is extra sweet this year.
