Not that this may help your tough corn situation, however would like to share another method of cooking corn on the cob that you may want to try sometime.

Try the microwave; the corn comes out ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! The flavor has not been compromised by boiling in water and it's just as tender and sweet as can be.

Bon Apetit
Yes, barb...... I have microwaved corn in the past and it did come out good.

This time - I think the corn I cooked in the pot was just OLD!!!! Even boiling it more, did nothing to make it tender. Maybe tomorrow I'll throw it in the blender with some chicken broth & make soup

When it comes to corn, I'm a bit spoiled...... cuz there are a couple of corn farms nearby that sell their crop, hours from being picked, tender and sweet as sugar! I guess I'll have to wait 'till spring for the farm market to open.
