Corn

Instructions

1. 1

   When Shopping: Look for bright green, tight-fitting fresh-looking silk and kernels that are plump but not too large. Corn tastes best if it is purchased and cooked the same day that it was picked. If that's not possible, wrap unhusked ears in damp paper towels and refrigerate the corn up to 2 days. Preparing for Cooking: Pull the green husks off the ears and remove the silk just before cooking. Do not put the corn husks or silk in your garbage disposal. If there are any bad spots on the ears, cut them out. Break off any long stems, so the corn will fit easily into the pan. If any ears are too long for your pan, cut or break them in half. Boiling: Fill a Dutch oven about half full of water. Do not add any salt because that will make the corn tough. Place the corn in the water. Cover and heat to boiling over high heat. Once water is boiling, continue cooking uncovered 2 minutes. Remove from heat, and let stand uncovered about 10 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork. Lift corn from water with tongs, allowing extra water to drip off. Serve immediately with margarine or butter, salt and pepper. Microwaving: Place corn and 1/4 cup water in an 8-inch square microwavable dish. Cover with plastic wrap, folding back 2-inch edge to vent. Microwave on High 9 to 14 minutes, rearranging ears with tongs after 5 minutes, until tender when pierced with a fork. Let stand covered 5 minutes. Lift corn from water with tongs, allowing extra water to drip off. 4 ears of corn is enough for 4 servings ____________________ Please note, if you should change this recipe it will no longer be an approved Betty Crocker® Recipe.
