I need some tips on cooking Corn on the Cob. Every time I try to do it, it comes out hard as a rock?

If you are going to be using the grill this weekend, I recommend preparing the corn on the grill. It's very simple and the results are outstanding! Begin by purchasing the corn with the husk-on (the leafy covering of the corn cob itself).

An hour or two before cooking, place the corn, with husk-on, in a bucket of cool water to soak. Make certain that all of the corn cobs are fully covered with water. Plan for about fifteen minutes of cooking time.

Place the water-soaked corn, with husk-on, onto the grates of the grill. Turn often.

The water, now inside of the husks, will steam cook the corn to perfection!

Cook for about fifteen minutes, or until the husks begin to brown / burn slightly. Do not overcook! Take the corn, husk-on off of the grill and allow to cool slightly.

While still outdoors (this can be messy), carefully strip the husks from the corn cobs. Careful! The steamy corn can be very hot!

Clean the corn as good as you can (the corn silk, or "hair" can sometimes be a challenge), and then butter while the corn is still hot. Place on a plate and present with the rest of the meal... Enjoy!

Buy your corn fresh. Corn immediately starts to degrade the moment it's picked. The old adage was to have the pot of water boiling before you go out to pick the corn off the stalk.

I finally the simplest and maybe best way is to steam the corn. Put a cup of water in the bottom of a large pot. Get one of those folding steam baskets... https://images-na.

Add Butter! Eat!

Try grilling it on the BBQ. I find its really good soaking it in Soya Sauce first. Sounds weird but its great.

Don't need to worry about butter either. Matty.

If don't want to cook it on the grill and want to cook it inside on the stove instead. You simply get a large pan fill with water and boil on high. While waiting for the water to boil shuck the corn.

Then put them all in the pan of boiling water. Rotate them with a fork about every 5 min. Let boil for 20-25min.

Guaranteed not to be hard this way. Good luck and enjoy!

This is how I learned to cook corn on the cob from my mom. It's super easy AND yummy! 1.

Get the freshest corn you can find.

2. Shuck the corn, removing the husks and corn silk.

3. Fill your pot with water and bring to a boil, then place the corn inside. (salt or sugar is optional here, depending on personal tastes).

4. Cover the pot, and let it boil for up to 10 minutes. Fresher corn requires less boiling time.

The longer it boils, the softer it will be. Carefully remove it, and that's it!

This may sound odd, but I can always "smell" when the corn is done.

When it's perfect, it just has that corn cobby smell.

Well judging from your question, I am thinking that you might have to boil it for a little longer. The corn should be soft yet firm and not mushy. Hopefully that helps.

I have also tried to BBQ with the husk ON and it could about 15 minutes before it was done. I hope that your next adventure cooking it turns out a little better.

My all time favorite way to make corn is on the grill: -Buy your corn with the husks still on. -The day you're grilling your corn, fill a bucket or large pot with water and submerge your corn; they will probably float but it's not a problem. You can leave the ears in the water for a while so if you do it before you go to work in the morning you should be fine.

-Heat up the grill. -Take the corn out of the water, shake off any excess water and put the ear on the grill. (you probably want to pull out or cut any silk that is hanging out to prevent it catching on fire).

-Cook it a few minutes (probably like 5-7) roll it over and cook the other side. When it's done, it will steam when you open the husk up and the corn will be pretty bright yellow. (unless it's white corn of course) I recommend also having a stick of butter to roll your hot ear onto, it's way easier than trying to cut pats of butter and get them to cooperate.

If it's not grilling weather, you can just take the un-shucked ear and put the whole thing in the microwave for about 3 minutes and it will cook it almost the same way. Enjoy!

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.
