Applications
Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil; carefully add husked ears; cook or steam until desired tenderness. The less white corn is cooked, the better the flavor and texture. Steaming preserves flavor but takes longer. Corn may be microwaved. On High, cook two ears about five minutes. To grill, the ears may be soaked in water in the husks to prevent burning, but will have a steamed taste rather than a grilled flavor. Cook directly on the grill without husks about three minutes on each side. Brush with melted butter while grilling over medium heat. Flavor with a spicy chili-flavored butter for a snappy change of pace. Corn loves the company of black beans, red onions, scallions, basil, cilantro and tomatoes. Make tasty tamales tortillas and succulent succotash. Scrape cooked kernels from the cob into a pot of hot soup for extra flavor and texture. Corn is best used immediately after purchase as its sugar content rapidly turns to starch. To store, refrigerate in its natural husk. For optimum flavor, do not store longer than a day or two.
