Re: How Long Do You Boil Corn...

I had an ear for dinnerSmiley Happy   I have one of those black silicone boats. 

I put a little water in it and cook in the microwave for 2 minutes.

  It is soooooo good this year.

I don't put anything on it.

@nana59,  This is what I do.  After I clean the corn I place in large pot with water.  I add a little sugar and a little lemon juice and bring the corn to a boil and let it cook another minute or two.  That's it.   It always turns out fresh.  I find it is best to cook the day you get it from the farmer.

I love the bi color corn.  Cat HappyHeart

3 minutes, the sugar in corn rapidly turns to starch.

Just wanted to add that when I use corn in a salad I don't cook it.

I can't help you out, I steam the corn, I have a small steamer insert that I place in the pot, add the corn and bring the water to a boil.  Shut off  and cover, it stays hot until we are ready to eat and it's not drippy wet.

I don't boil it. I either eat it raw or grill it.

Re: How Long Do You Boil Corn...

I know someone who cooks it in the dishwasher for big parties.  He said they just put it in there and run the cycle--can't remember with or without husks.  I'm sure you can google that.  

 

Anyway, he said that is what they always do for cookouts.  Oh, he DID say no soap!  LOL!
