Properly eating corn on the cob
- Thread starter JM4CY
- Start date
Good idea. My wife always boils it until "it smells like corn". I just read an article that people cook corn wrong and it should be boiled for only a minute.
Thoughts?
Butter, salt and pepper, BTW.
I thought you werent supposed to eat corn on the cob with dentures.
old joke, sorry kc
I have MOST of my own teeth, thank you very much!
Two implants and lots of crowns...but yeah, old teeth. BTW - I don't get mad. I get even.
Anymore I just bring it to a boil and turn it off and just let it sit while preparing every thing else
I'd be afraid that it would overcook if I brought it to a boil with the corn in the pot. For me, I drop the ears into boiling water for 2 minutes, moving them around once or twice if any are sticking out at the top.
The only time I add salt or butter to anything is on a large flank steak whenever I’ve had too much whiskey
I add salt to the hooker I’m doing body shots off. Can drink tequila straight but it seems more fun that way.
My rule of thumb, boil only long enough to get it warm/hot, however long that takes.
If the kernels begin to shrivel, you've cooked it way too long. Throw those ears over the fence to the hogs and make another batch.
Another big topic that needs discussed. What is the proper way to butter your corn on the cob.
Spray butter
Cut butter with a knife and spread it on the corn
A stick of butter and roll the ear
Ive always placed a stick of butter on a plate and rolled the ear of corn. My wife had never heard of or seen that technique before.

I just scoop butter on a soup spoon and the slide it back and forth across the ear. Have also done the roll it on a full stick of butter method
