Judy, see the video a few posts above, btw Lancaster County Pa corn is the best.

[hulababy]

i know this one too and was wondering why everyone at supermarket stands there and pulls husk off. Don't you grill it with husk on if grilling?? I do the microwave and it does work.

DickY, there was no link that I could see, but VG sent me a link that I will try to share here:
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnBF6bv4Oe4]Shucking Corn--Clean Ears Everytime - YouTube[/ame] in case someone else wants to know how to do it. (There was supposed to be a link up there after the colons)

I have no idea why my link doesn't show up in my 'preview post' window, so maybe it won't show up here. If it doesn't, and you want to know how to do this, Google 'Shucking Corn -- Clean Ears Every Time'. You should be able to find the video there, and once you see it you'll know how to do it.

I think this idea is really neat! I am definitely going to try it next time!
PS: I think the best corn comes from your (y'all's?) (All Y'all's?) kitchens!

OK - So who has tried this? I'm planning to... And I'm with Gracie - Ohio corn for me.

Sorry I must disagree with everyone !
Maine has the Best corn when cooked properly.
Simply bring a kettle of water to slow rolling boil add 6 ears of un shucked corn 4 Gulf of Maine Lobsters ,2 bags of fresh clams, Few whole onions, Few Maine potatoes Then lets see who has the best corn

Have to get my TWO CENTS in for New Hampshire corn. Fresh Sugar corn, with mixture of yellow and white is sooooooooooo good!!!

I found that if you use a steamer any corn comes out great.

Best sweet corn - from Fincel's in Dubuque, IA where I grew up. Will be there in 3 weeks to get me some! If you are ever in Dubuque from late June through September, buy some. Yum Yum.

NOPE y'all got it wrong ...JERSEY corn and tomatoes are the bomb! Silver Queen right out of the field.

We clean and wash and wrap in wax paper (MUST be wax paper). Before rolling and twisting the wax paper closed add a few dollups of butter. Mcrowave 4 ears for 8 minutes turning once. Use tongs to remove wax paper and salt to taste. Florida corn ain't that bad just NOT Jersey fresh!

[mrfixit]

..........

.........ADD One Cup of MILK per Gallon of WATER..........

............Then.......Boil the Corn as Usual......................

......Put a slice of bread on a flat plate...(or in a large bowl)..
...........position a stick of butter ON the Bread.......
...............Roll Corn on Butter.....................................

In My Humble Opinion.............(IMHO)

........All FRESH SweetCorn is "good" when boiled WITH Milk ADDED....

[CFrance]

Interesting. I've never heard of that. What is the purpose of the milk?

Just to jump into the fray... We've had corn from PA, OH, NJ, FL, MI. The best was from non-corporate farms outside of Madison, Ohio, where you would stop at the farm stand, they would ask you what you wanted, then walk a hundred feet to the corn field and pick it for you. I think that was the secret, the fact that it was so fresh and not refrigerated.

When we go to the farmers' market in town here in MI, they have picked the corn the night before and refrigerated it so they can sleep later in the a.m. rather than go pick it at 3 a.m. and haul it into the market. Cold corn is rarely exceptional. What we need now in MI is a farm that draws a lot of customers so they have to go pick a couple times a day. Preferably you go in the afternoon when they've picked for the second time and not refrigerated it. These places are hard to find, although I know of one an hour away.

Still, that Ohio corn... the best in my memory. Sigh.

Publix has had some outstanding corn on the cob except for today. It didn't look so good. Looked tough. But usually it is so sweet and very tender..give it a try.
