About Corn
Corn is sweet, bright, and easy to love. You can grill it on the cob, cut the kernels off for salads, or simmer them into creamy chowder. Frozen and canned corn work well when fresh is not around.
Butter, lime, chili, cheese, and herbs go nicely with corn. Fresh summer cobs need very little cooking. Unlike sweet potatoes, corn is light and bursting with juice. Unlike cabbage and okra, it adds sweetness and color to dishes.
Questions folks ask
How long do I boil corn on the cob?
Most cobs need about 5 to 8 minutes in boiling water. Fresh young corn needs the shorter time.
Can I use frozen corn instead of fresh?
Yes, in most recipes like soups, salads, and skillet dishes. It will be a little softer than fresh.
How do I store fresh corn?
Keep it in the fridge, husks on, and use it within a few days. The sweetness fades with time.
Kitchen tips
- Cook fresh corn briefly so it stays tender and sweet.
- Cut kernels off the cob by standing it in a wide bowl.
- Simmer the bare cobs in soup for extra corn flavor.
- Frozen corn can go straight into the pan, no need to thaw.
- Rinse canned corn if you want less salt.
