1. How To Boil Corn
Ingredients
- 6 ears fresh corn, still in the husk
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of sugar
- 2-3 slices of fresh lemon
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
Instructions
Step 1: Peel the green husks & remove the silky tassels from the corn on the cob.
Step 2: Take a large-sized pot and fill it halfway through with water. Next, add the corn, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 2-3 slices of fresh lemon, and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda. All these ingredients will help make the corn soft, sweet, and not dry then place the water-filled pot on the stove and bring it to boil over a high flame.
Step 3: When the water boils, reduce the flame to low and cook corn for 25 minutes. Signs of the boiled corn’s doneness are- the corn kernels turn deeper yellow, tend to plump up, and become very soft.
To serve, uncover the lid and take out the cooked corn ears on a plate with tongs. Brush it with melted butter and sprinkle some salt. Enjoy warm corn.
After boiling the corn, you should not sit the corn in the pot, but take it out. If not eating right away, you can pour out the water and continue to cover the corn to keep it hot. Soaking corn in the pot after boiling will make the corn pale.
