/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Boil for 8-10 minutes or microwave for 3-5. Start low and you can always microwave it more.

>eating corn

feed chicken with it, then eat delicious chicken

Chuck them in a 350 degree oven. Leave the husk/silk on. Roast em in there for 35 minutes. Take them out with a dry oven mitt or tongs, then peel back the husk. It beats boiling by a long shot. Easier and doesn't mute the flavor like boiling water tends to do.

whats wrong with eating corn?

Some people just ~wave it for a minute and peel it like toothpaste. I just eat it raw.

>Sceak is back

time to leave

Microwave in the husk for five minutes. Perfect everytime, and you get the nice corn flavour from the husk. Wait a minute, peel the leaves back, and you can use them as a holder. The place where it sat in the microwave will be kind of burnt and chewy, and delicious

oh god I just got these from stop and shop and ate 6 ears

just boil them for 2 mins or just eat them raw like I did with my first 2

I'm thinking about going back for another dozen at this price

>>5464435
You can eat them raw, theyre sweet and juicy, and tbh I prefer it better than boiling them (about 10 mins). its difficult to undercook them coz as said theyre tasty raw. overcooking them? ehh.....
If you got a pan or grill just oil it a lil with some oil and brown them a bit, on the cob of course.

I feel like asking /ck/ how to cook something is satisfying because it's like asking a Parent how to cook something. Everyone's got Dads, Moms, Grandparents or other designated legal guardians that cooks a different way, so there are infinite different nuances between each style of cooking.

However, it is also accepted that using the website www.google.com and operating the "Search Bar" yields results with the most positive feedback. So that begs the question....

Why do people ask /ck/ on how to cook something as buttfuck simple as CORN, where waiting for replies on "how to" can take more than an hour, instead of simply google searching it?


>tl;dr: Duuude just fuckin' google it

>>5464513
goddamn it. I guess your ban finally expired, huh? Welp, only a matter of time until the next one.

>>5464550
my man

cooking the corn is over rated imo and just makes it chewy

>>5464441
should be boiled 5-6 minutes actually. any longer is overkill (will make the corn wrinkled and ruin flavor)

>>5464553
its nice to ask in a lively updated forum
sometimes you learn new things

>>5464435
so what did you do to them op

>>5464534
Why would you leave? It only takes a highlight and 4 clicks to be free of him...

Worst vegetable/grain ever

>>5464435
Here's what I do:
>chop off hairy bit
>wrap in wet paper towel
>microwave for 2 minutes
>butter, salt, eat

delicious

Cut kernels off 2 raw shucked cobs, add 1/2 cup cold black beans, 1 diced tomato, 1 diced jalapeno, and 1 diced red onion. Splash in some vinegar, add cracked black pepper and salt to taste.

Let that sit in the fridge overnight in a covered bowl.

Salad time! Eat by itself, on top of pork or chicken cutlets, or in tacos. Enjoy.

Seconding. They're best this way. It also happens to be easy.

>>5464496
The only way to go. That or grilling them.

>>5466989
i hate when people say theyve "grilled" corn but they wrap it in foil and put it on the grill. it defeats the whole purpose, might as well just put it in the oven

>>5464435

Your fridge makes me sad, OP.

Is that a bag of rice? You know you don't have to refrigerate rice, right?

>>5464443
Fuck that sounds good. Too bad corn here is 4/$1 when it use to be 10/$1, so I don't buy corn anymore.

>>5464435
Two options in my book.

One, pull out all the silk and grill the corn in the husk with nothing fancy whatsoever. The husk will impart an odd-but-not-unpleasant grassy flavor. Some butter and salt after it's cooked and it's absolutely wonderful.

Otherwise, boil it until it's just perfectly tender, 10 minutes or so. Drain and allow the cobs to cool, and then shave all the corn from them. Place the corn in your freezer, and use it throughout the next year for any recipe that calls for corn. You will not regret it.

Sometimes seemingly simple things are retardedly complex. Like making coffee, for example

Also, people on google microwave bacon and use premade crusts/canned fillings/canned whipped cream and call it "baking"

>>5467077
I don't think any coffee connoisseur has ever called making coffee simple. That said, you speak truth.

>>5467023
he's bulking up his depressing as fuck fridge

>>5467030

4/$1 is too expensive for you? Good lord and I thought I was poor.

>>5467023
If I leave it in the cabinet, I get these beetle things in it. Keeping it in the fridge keeps things nice and bug free.
Also I don't have a lot of cabinet space, so it frees that up a bit

Down to one ear. God this corn is delicious
I'll probably pick up another handful of them after work tomarrow

You retarded?

Take off the husks and boil them, or just throw them on a grill with the husks on just like they are for a while, which is personally what I prefer.

oh i see this is what people that eat only organic foods refrigerators look like.

>>5464496
This is the way.


>>5467077
> microwave bacon
It's not the worst thing ever you know, and being so easy means that the Microwave bacon you Do have the time for wins out over the baked-in-oven bacon you have no time for.

>>5464435
Cook it with your meat. If it's a fast method husk it, if it's slow leave the husk on.

>>5467146
Are you retarded?

Microwave or grill them on a barbecue in their husks. Set for a few minutes and open them for perfectly steamed corn with maximum corn flavor. Bonus points if you soak the corn first in a strong seasoning brine first like vegetable broth, bay leaves and garlic and copious salt before grilling.

Serve with melted butter brushed on the corn after removing the husks.
