Don't Boil Your corn, you’ll thank you!

Don't Boil Your corn, You'll thank you... Seriously! There are so many ways to cook and prepare corn why would you boil it? It's the blandest method in my opinion, and you lose nutrients! So I wanted to test a few of the best ways I found on the internet to cook your corn that is far better than boiling!

The problem with your microwaved corn is that you nuked it too long. Three (3) minutes for ONE ear of corn; two (2) minutes for each additional ear. It comes out succulent. Try it again with reduced nuke times!

there’s a much better microwave method : keep the husk on, 2-3 mins per ear. you can do a ton of ears at the same time, stays juicy as it steams. if you don’t want to fire up the grill (or don’t have room on it), it’s the best way to go.

Just in time for the summer!! This was super interesting, I never thought it could get better than good ole fashioned steamed corn! I gotta ask my gpa to grill some corn for me this summer

In Japan, at home, people may boil their corn. But at festivals, corn is grilled with soy sauce, occasionally with butter too. While I don’t do butter, the soy sauce is f’n delicious!

We microwave in the husk. What’s funny is the way we discovered we liked it better was that we were grilling and forgot the corn. So I just threw it in the microwave to get dinner on the table. It tasted so much better. It was even better than the grill.

From Italy, I grew up with a farmer neighbour! He always gifted us some of the produce as a neighbour courtesy and I still remember that corn: fresh, straight from the field, grilled and toasty, with bruschette and spiedini on the side... Man, you brought me a good 20 years back in time!

Once, while at a Farmers Market, I bought some corn cobs. At the suggestion of the farmer, after I rinsed it, I tried eating the corn raw off the cob. Wow! It was sweet and delicious. I realized I didn't have to boil it or even steam it. When I do want it warmed up, I just place it in some shallow, already boiled (or actively boiling) water for about 30 seconds. Done!

You microwaved it into the next millennium! Three (3) minutes is plenty and don't cut anything off first. The idea is to cook it in its own moisture.

As an albanian (and someone from balkan countries) i love the grilled corn!

Great video, once again!

I've been doing the grill in husk method for years, but usually soak it first for about 10-15 minutes to keep the husk from charring too quickly. Perfect every time!!

So yummy, I gave my guinea pigs an ear of corn that I wish I would have been eating! I always ate it raw out of my garden just picked. This looks delicious as most of your food does. Thank you for still making videos and keeping people excited about food that doesn't harm animals.❤

This seems like an America's Test Kitchen style of video but better and i love it so much! Keep these coming! I got my first charcoal grill this summer and i will definitely be doing that now. Thank you! 😊

We had corn roasts when I was a kid. Grandpa soaked the corn in water the husk for about an hour. Then he grilled it in the husk. Peel back tge husk. Serve with lots of melted real butter. Have paper towels on hand. Delicious!

Definitely going to try the husk one! Thanks for doing a comparison on all of them!

I was taught by Chief Lewy in the Navy to just trim the tassels sticking out of the ear, dunk the ears in salt water, then slap them on the grill for 15-20 minutes. Then after its cool enough to handle, chop off the stem end and squeeze the tassel end and all the silks stay in the husk. Also, I do like microwaved but I do have to try oven roasted.

This is a very good and informative video ! I have the "CROCK POT EXPRESS" and the way that I cook corn is I leave
the shuck on and pressure cook it for about six ( 6 ) minutes . It always comes out very tasty and juicy !!! I also like it
grilled on a charcoal grill ( not a propane grill ) unshucked either covered in foil or not ! When I go to the grocery store
and I see people removing the shuck, I tell them to try cooking it with the shuck on . I let them know that the shuck
protects the corn and also protects the flavor so if you remove the shuck and boil it, you are boiling away half of the
flavor .

There's one method you haven't tried. If you pick a relatively young corn you can eat it in the next couple of days uncooked. It tastes devine

i use a pressure cooker to cook corn. Remove tusk, place 6-7 cobs in the cooker add a little water and salt. 5 minutes after the pressure cooker starts to whistle. Done! Perfect every time. I use a very old Presto pressure cooker. Older than me.

Raw corn is my favourite. Sweet & juicy, simple.

Loved the comparison of different cooking methods along with Monica's ratings!
