How do you know where to slice if you're grilling the corn and then slicing it? I never seem to do it right.

I fucking love corn.

How can you tell if corn is going to be sweet or not before you buy it? Other produce you can usually tell by look or feel if it's going to taste good but with corn I have no idea if it's going to be sweet or not before I actually eat it.

just sharing, but if you buy whole corn cobs but are only using the kernels, keep the rest of your cob, and stow it in the freezer. Then, when you make a veg stock or chicken stock, add some left over cobs. The corn will add sweetness to the broth, and its still full of starch and pectin to thicken it too.

There is a varietal of corn that’s specifically called Sweet Corn
Otherwise, if you’re buying while cobs from the bin want corn with round shiny kernels, nothing that looks wrinkly or visibly dry, and if you press on the kernes with your mail they should be juicy

[Anonymous No.19696789]

>>19696752
Yeah I make sure to get sweet corn and it can still turn out to be not so sweet. It just depends on how long it's been since it was harvested; even sweet corn eventually has its sugars converted into starch, it just takes longer.

>nothing that looks wrinkly or visibly dry
Yeah but often the corn is still in its husk and to inspect the cobs would require peeling it there in the store which isn't socially acceptable.

>and if you press on the kernes with your mail they should be juicy
so really the only way to tell before buying is to give the corn a blemish in the store?

sweet baby, sweet. going to blend up some stevia leaves and see if i can use that to sweeten it for zero calories

[Anonymous No.19696859]

Sweet cornbread is the way to go desu.

>stevia
>zero calories
well first of all the corn, eggs, and fat in the cornbread will still have calories, so you probably meant low calories, but why zero calorie sweeteners anon?

>sweeten it for zero calories
>the sweetening agent has zero calories

Not sure how you interpreted what I said as cornbread having zero calories but I hope that clears things up for you.

I experiment a lot in the kitchen, in particular with baking. Ive baked with gluten free flours, home milled flours, sprouted wheat flours, sourdough starters, have made really rich breads like brioche, etc, and now I want to try something new. Cornbread seems like a good first attempt at using stevia because even if it turns out not sweet enough i can always just pour some maple syrup over top. Plus corn is naturally sweet so it will help sweeten the bread in tandem with the stevia

Ive never tried stevia before and I hear its the best zero calorie sweetening agent

peel it back like 1/3rd of the way in the store/shop/whereverand look for white kernels. white corn is the sweeest corn you can get but the kernels can be smaller.
try a can of white sweet corn sometime it will change how you pick your fresh ears

I’m pretty sure this is a myth. It’s no sweeter than yellow corn.

corn has zero nutritional value btw
literally the kind of shit that's considered animal feed by china hence why they import it en masse

[Anonymous No.19699968]

>>19699964
Stevia probably isn’t a 1:1 substitute for regular sugar. You probably needed to add more or less than the amount of regular sugar than the original recipe.
Or just use regular sugar c’mon

[Anonymous No.19699976]

>>19699967
Nice try idiot. Corn has carbohydrates which are a macronutrient, and those carbs are in the form of starch and sugars which have essential roles in the body, and fiber which is good for you.

And anyway idiot, you don’t have starch by itself for a meal like an autist. You pair it with a protein and some other nutrient rich-foods. Only diptards like yourself would think of eating literally one food for your entire diet and nothing else then cry about the lack of nutrition.

[Anonymous No.19699986]

if corn is nutritional why do I shit it out whole and undigested?

[Anonymous No.19699995]

Stevia is like 30-300 times sweeter than sugar depending on how processed it is. I used a generous amount of stevia relative to the amount of sugar the recipe called for.

The problem wasnt that I didnt use an appropriate amount, its that it's simply not sweet like sugar- it's an acquired taste and I don't know if I am interested in acquiring it. The prospects of cutting out sugar is highly appealing though, since its not really good for you

I think the solution to using a product like stevia in sweets is to use it in conjunction with fruits, which have their own natural sugars. Also, I used stevia leaves which I powdered myself. A refined stevia powder would likely taste better and.. not make everything green

Corn this time of year is going to be very sweet. Peak corn season started a week ago and should run for a couple months.

In addition to what >>19696752 said, look at the silk. The darker and more matted it is, the longer it's been off the stalk, and the less fresh it will be. If the silk is removed go to a different store.

I had a Michelin star chef tell me once, the defining ingredient in chowder is BACON.
But in looking into it further, that seems to not be the case.
It's not cream...
It's not potatoes..
So, WHAT makes chowder, Chowder?
