How to cook young corn properly
Success in our business will depend on the correct choice of this cereal in the market or in the store. Buy cobs in natural “packaging”, that is, in green leaves, not yellow!
There are many ways to cook corn: in the microwave, in the oven, in a double boiler, in a multicooker, in an airfryer. But we’ll talk about the simplest way: how to properly boil corn in a pot of water. Everything is very simple, but there are several nuances:
- it takes only 20 – 25 minutes to cook young corn;
- maize in “venerable age” is boiled for 120 -150 min. (2 -2,5 hours).
Step-by-step instruction:
- we cleanse of leaves and hairs. Can be cooked with leaves. Remove only the most “outer clothing” from the cob and remove the stigmas (antennae);
- put some leaves from the cob on the bottom of a deep and wide container;
- we put the cobs in a saucepan, if the container is too small, they can be cut in half;
- pour boiling water over and put on the stove. If you pour cold water, it takes longer to cook;
- Attention: do not add salt during cooking! Salt makes it only harder;
- from the moment the water boils, we cook young ears for 20 – 25 minutes;
- you can taste one of the seeds to determine if it’s done.
Remember the secret: as soon as the corn is cooked, drain the water, close the lid and wrap the pan with a warm cloth. So our beauty should sweat for about 15 minutes. But you have to bear with it!
Serve hot with salt and preferably with butter. Voila! It is fantastic!
