Microwave that stuff to eliminate all of the silk, it most of it
Husk and all, straight on the grill, lets it steam in the husk. Cut off the knob end, squeeze from the other, and the entire corn will come out sans husk and silk.
I don’t cook them any other way now.
I do soak them in some salted water before, rehydrates the husk if they’re dried from storage so they don’t just catch on fire and provides moisture for the cooking.
huh? we just throw it straight on the grill after trimming the husk. turn it every seven minutes, after 21 total it's probably done (if not, definitely after 28). I'm convinced it tastes cornier.
But pan frying the silk is a nice crispity garnish!
Soaking the corn in cold water for like 10 mins before microwaving makes the silk slide off even easer and keeps the kernels super juicy!
there's nothing like an ear fresh off the stalk. looks fantastic
Fresh as it can get! Money can't buy that taste!
I'd visit the farm about a month a year growing up, before my g-grandparents sold it to move into town. gampy'd grow feed corn for the cattle so he could save a little, and when it was ripe we'd just pluck 'em off the field a few minutes before we were ready to cook. shittiest corn, but coming straight off the stalk it was better than anything I can find at a grocery store now.
Now you need the Cob Quicky !
