Make a corn roaster that will cook a lot of sweet corn............ How to Cook Corn on the Cobposted in Vegetables and Beans by Kathy Maister previous | blog index | next One of my favorite vegetables, fresh corn on the cob, is in season in the USA from May to September. When buying corn, the husks (outer green covering) should be bright green and fit snugly around the ear of corn. The kernels should be in tight rows right to the tip of the ear of corn, and be plump and milky (if you accidently pop one!).

While in the grocery store, it is perfectly acceptable to peel back the outer green husk to check and see if the corn looks OK. You should peel the husk off the corn just before you cook it.To do so, peel back the husk, hold the peeled ear of corn in one hand, the husk and stalk in the other and then snap off the stalk. To remove the “silk” (the white hairy threads just under the husk) wet a paper towel and wipe down the corn – from the tip to the stalk end.

Be sure to totally remove all the silk as it is really not pleasant to serve corn on the cob with the silky threads still attached. Once the husk and silk have been removed from the corn, it is officially “shucked”. I am going to show you three ways to cook corn on the cob: 1.

In the microwave 2. On the stove top starting with cold water 3. On the stove top starting with boiling waterYou can also cook corn in a pressure cooker which is quick and (many people tell me) quite simple to do, but I still have yet to buy a pressure cooker.

Method 1: Cooking Corn in the MicrowaveCooking corn in the microwave is my preferred method. I am not too fond of pots of boiling water heating up my kitchen on a hot summer day. This method is good when you are cooking only 2 or 3 ears of corn.

If you are cooking more, you should choose one of the other cooking methods or do it in batches in the microwave. Place the corn in a microwave safe dish and add about 2 Tablespoons of water to the dish. Cover the dish with plastic wrap, making sure to leave a small opening (a steam vent) in the corner to let the steam escape.

Microwave the corn on high for 4-to-6 minutes - depending on the strength of your microwave. Carefully remove the plastic wrap from the corn. There will be a lot of very hot steam escaping, so you probably should use a pair of tongs to remove the plastic wrap.

Method 2: Cooking Corn on the Stovetop Starting with Cold WaterPlace the shucked corn in a large pot. Cover it with COLD tap water. Cover the pot and set it on the stove.

Bring the pot to a boil. Once the pot has reached a boil, the corn is cooked. Method 3: Cooking Corn on the Stovetop Starting with Boiling WaterFill a large pot half way with COLD water.

(There should be enough water in the pot so that when you add the corn, it is covered with water but not overflowing.)Bring the pot of COLD water to a boil. Using a pair of tongs, carefully drop each ear of corn into the pot. Cover the pot and return the water to a boil.

Boil the corn for 5-7 minutes or until done. Cooking Corn Do’s and Don’t’s:How do I know when it’s cooked? The cooking times listed above are general cooking times.

Some people eat corn raw, and some dunk it in boiling water for 30 seconds to just heat it slightly. The simplest answer is to taste the corn to see if it cooked to your liking. Over-cooked corn does become really tough and it is also pretty rough on the digestive track!

Should I add Salt or Sugar to the cooking water? Corn is naturally sweet. Some people add 1-2 teaspoons of sugar to the cooking water to sweeten it even more.

That’s totally up to you! Salt, on the other hand, should not be added to the cooking water as it will toughen the corn. Sprinkle it on after the corn is cooked.

1 I would just wrap em in foil and let the fire smolder with a good amount of hot coals and throw-em in keeping in mind which are most likely done. Unwrap foil a bit and squeeze a bit of sweat butter on em. Can I come over and taste them critters?

2 In the South, our recipe for corn is simple: put a pot of water on to boil, and go pull the corn. With really fresh, tender corn, a few minutes in the boiling water is sufficient. And when corn is very fresh, it needs nothing but butter or margarine and a bit of salt.

We use huge containers for outdoor festivals, sometimes cooking several hundred ears of corn grown by local farmers for the event. In coastal Georgia and South Carolina, it's called a Low Country boil, and includes shrimp, crab, sausage, potatoes, etc. In the pot along with the corn.It's seasoned with salt, lemons, Old Bay seasoning, etc. In the hill country, a common name for this summertime event is Corn Boiling.......to celebrate the fields of yellow or white corn. Grilled meat of all kinds provides the main course, although the corn takes center stage.

Ice cream is made in freezers, with flavors ranging from vanilla to fresh peach..........since it's really hot when the corn in the fields is ready. We use what used to be called washpots, with fires built under these large cast iron pots.........and also use fish cookers. Can you tell I'm feeling nostalgic?

And I didn't contribute anything to solving your problem! I will tell you it's not unknown to use a new, metal garbage can for the boiling of corn! .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
