Corn
4 ears corn
When Shopping: Look for bright green, tight-fitting fresh-looking silk and
kernels that are plump but not too large. Corn tastes best if it is
purchased and cooked the same day that it was picked. If that’s not
possible, wrap unhusked ears in damp paper towels and refrigerate the corn
up to 2 days.
Preparing for Cooking: Pull the green husks off the ears and remove the
silk just before cooking. Do not put the corn husks or silk in your
garbage disposal. If there are any bad spots on the ears, cut them out.
Break off any long stems, so the corn will fit easily into the pan. If any
ears are too long for your pan, cut or break them in half.
Boiling: Fill a Dutch oven about half full of water. Do not add any salt
because that will make the corn tough. Place the corn in the water. Cover
and heat to boiling over high heat. Once water is boiling, continue
cooking uncovered 2 minutes. Remove from heat, and let stand uncovered
about 10 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. Lift corn from
water with tongs, allowing extra water to drip off. Serve immediately with
margarine or butter, salt and pepper.
Microwaving: Place corn and 1/4 cup water in an 8-inch square microwavable
dish. Cover with plastic wrap, folding back 2-inch edge to vent. Microwave
on High 9 to 14 minutes, rearranging ears with tongs after 5 minutes,
until tender when pierced with a fork. Let stand covered 5 minutes. Lift
corn from water with tongs, allowing extra water to drip off.
4 ears of corn is enough for 4 servings
