Question please, would I do the same time for less corn? Thank you!
I want to cook 2 ears of corn……..do I put the in for 5 mins?????? Wtf?
I'd never figure out how to boil corn without ya. Usually I just put it in on the stove and tell "is it ready yet?!!?"
Hey who funds this channel? the Jews?
The only recipe I use! It makes perfect corn. Thank you!!!
Right time. Thanks so much
It is very tasty and easy to cook recommend to everyone!
wow amazing
I've been doing it all wrong. I've wasted so much corn. I did exactly the opposite. Cooking at a high temperature for almost 15 to 20 minutes rolling boil.
What about frozen corn?
On screen, turn off a roaring boil (210f). In text (170f). Got it. Won't be confused at all.
Corn loses its fresh taste due to losing its sugar content after being picked. You should add sugar to the boiling water to restore some of the freshness. I put around 1/4 cup to a small stock pot. Doesn’t matter if that’s too much; it will absorb what it absorbs.
If you are only cooking 2 ears of corn, you corn you can wrap them in paper towel separately, dampen the paper towels and microwave on high for 3-5 minutes.
Just Hello! I love you ladies! and the men.
Made this tonight with grilled chicken and asparagus. It was a hit! Thank you.
The "I'll see YOU later" at the end rolled me, thank you for being you always 🥰
Next week.
….how to boil water.
Thank you for this simple tip!
Ladies! You didn't use the "Ken" shucking method! Silk-string free! And y'all need a butter brush! Yummy!
Hello. This is such a delicious recipe. Thanks for sharing. Amazing and so simple. Actually here in Mauritius 🇲🇺 I usually use a pressure cooker to boil the corn cut into pieces as some are too big to fit in 1 whole piece. It's best eaten drg wintertime here in Mauritius when it's quite cold. Actually I love it that way. I'll definitely give it a try. Reply back plz. Lots of love from Mauritius 🇲🇺
what about using an electric stovetop? just turn off the burner or move it to a different non-used burner?
Thank you ladies!!
Boil water, toss in cobbs, 5 minutes later perfect corn.
I made this with steak and you know what, the corn on the cob tastes better than the steak. Sorry cow 😂
had it tonight! you were right about how to boil corn. taste great!
Who the hell uses kosher salt bruh
Outstanding presentation !!!!
Delightful hosts !!!
It’s been 3 days and my corn is still boiling
Just made using this method. Four ears for 7 minutes. perfect.
Was your corn fresh from sunny fields ? Refrigerated ? Room temperature ? ?
BOIL 4 MINUTES IN SUGAR WATER!!!
0:52
This woman reminds me of the SNL Target lady.
OR… you could do it the easier and quicker way: just steam the corn in about a quarter inch of water for about 3 minutes. Comes out perfect every time.
4 quarts=1gallon?
If you can't boil corn maybe you shouldn't be in the kitchen.
I found your recipe, and it is the best corn we ever tasted. I could never figure out how long to cook it, and this was so easy and the corn was wonderful!
I love old bay in many many recipes. I've used it on grilled corn the best 👍🏾
I like to grill my corn still in the husk, but I will give this method a shot.
Years of corn? We have no way of.knowing if we're purchasing from the supermarket
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you for sharing this method and explaining the food science behind why it works!
