[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love good fresh corn but it's way too hit or miss and it's a pita to boil it and then cut off the kernels. I'm convinced bags of frozen corn might be better and guests don't know the difference. Just dump however many bags of cooked frozen corn into a serving tray or big bowl with good butter, fresh pepper, good salt, chives or herbs... guests LOVE it.

I'm not saying all frozen veggies are good enough to dupe guests but I don't think anyone can tell with corn.[/quote]

Frozen vegetables in general are fresher and healthier than "fresh" ones in the store, as they are frozen at the point of harvest and not decaying for days to weeks at fridge temps or higher.

However when it comes to corn on the cob, "fresh" is better, as once corn is frozen, it will be slightly more mushy and not as crisp and sweet.

Also, NEVER overcook the corn. Put in boiling water for 1-4 min max, depending on the type of corn. The longer it's cooked, the more starchy it gets and more chewy/soft, rather than crispy and sweet.

Really good quality sweet corn doesn't even require cooking, just a quick heating up for about 1 min in boiling water. [/quote]

The best way to cook corn is to grill it on the cob, or cut it off the cob then saute in a skillet with salt, pepper, and olive oil. [/quote]

Do you prefer wetting the husks after removing the silk, or grilling them dry with just residual moisture?[/quote]
