I've been experimenting with different ways of cooking corn on the cob. All of my (very long) life, I've boiled the ears in water for 6 minutes, as I was taught.
This week, I nuked a shucked ear wrapped in wax paper for 2 minutes - not good, mealy and mushy.
Next day, I boiled an ear as usual. Better (the corn is not local).
Tonight, I nuked an ear without shucking for 3 minutes. Best.
Looking forward to having real local corn, which you can pretty much eat raw and it's delicious.
Tonight's corn was served with my first harvested slicing tomato and storebough frozen tempura shrimp (fantastic!)
