How to Cook Corn on the Cob


!±8± How to Cook Corn on the Cob

There are actually a number of different ways to cook corn on the cob, and in this article I will discuss three of them. Depending on how you cook your corn, your corn will have a number of different flavor possibilities.

The most common way of cooking corn on the cob is simply to boil it. First, you should completely clear off the husk of the corn, leaving nothing at all remaining of the original leaves. The leaves can get into the water and spoil the flavor of your corn. Once you have done this, boil some water deep enough that the corn can float in the water without touching the bottom. Place your corn in water once it starts to boil, place your corn in the boiling water. After about five minutes, remove the corn. Then add butter and salt to taste.

Another common way is to use the microwave oven. Because the microwave oven has a tendency to dry out anything place in it, you'll need to thoroughly moisturize your corn before placing it inside. Place your corn in a bowl of water completely submerged and then place some sort of weight on top so that it stays completely submerged. Leave your corn for about fifteen to twenty minutes. After this, you can remove it. Now, you'll need to wait for it to cool before you strip the corn. Once you have done so, your corn is ready to eat.

A really fun way of cooking corn is to do so on the grill or barbecue. Cooking on the barbecue requires that you moisturize your corn using exactly the same technique as when cooking in the microwave. Once the corn is moisturized, you can put it on top of your barbecue. Barbecuing corn actually takes quite a while, as the husk protects the corn very well. Cover your barbecue to keep in the heat, and turn your corn every five minutes or so. You actually want the husk to char, because it is much cooler inside where the kernels are. Once the husk is about half black, the kernels should be done (barbecues are so different that I can't give a suggestion on time here). Wait for your corn to cool and strip it and enjoy the smoky flavor.
