Notes

  • HOW TO COOK CORN
  • There are many ways that you can cook corn and here are the ways how:
  • You can get those nice roasted marks but either sauteing in a pan or holding the cooked corn with tongs over an open gas stove flame. I even use my kitchen blow torch sometimes to get a little char on my corn.
  • Bring a pot of water to boiling and boil the corn for 3-5 minutes.
  • Grill the corn over medium high heat for 3-5 minutes.
  • Keep the corn in its husk and microwave for 3-5 minutes. It steams the corn.
  • Cut the corn off the cob and saute in a pan with a little oil for 3-5 minutes.
