Try it sometime, you will like. No more husking!!!
That is a LOT of cooking. I was taught as a kid to put in cold water and bring to a boil and remove immediately. It shouldn't have been picked more than 24 hours ago either.

I don't think there is really good sweet corn here...or at least we haven't found it. I am missing Ohio corn.
