Corn on the Cob

It as amazing but a lot of people do not know how to cook corn on the cob, so I thought I would give some general directions.

1     Get your corn for a good source, around Elmvale I have found Valley Farm Market to be the best source, as they have the facilities to keep it fresh all day (all corn is picked in the morning no matter where you get it) and only bring it out when they need it most road side stands just let it sit in the sun deteriorating all day.

2     Shuck the corn just before you use it no more than 1 hour before it hits the pot.

3     Prepare your water you will need about 1 quart of salted water per cob in a large pot (the larger the better) bring to a roiling boil.

4     Place you cobs in the pot and bring back to a boil before you start timing you will need to boil the cobs for 5 to 10 minutes depending on how soft you like it. Most people do not cook their corn long enough and think the corn was bad or old. Don't forget fresh corn takes longer to cook than frozen as the frozen is parboiled prior to freezing.

5    Remove your corn using tongs, it helps to avoid burns from splashed water.

6    Prepare you corn as you see fit. I like to roll it in butter and sprinkle salt on it.

7    Enjoy!
