How to Cook Corn Properly: The Subtleties of a Delicious Dish
There is nothing complicated about cooking corn – just throw the cobs into a pot of water, wait until the liquid boils, and continue cooking until done.
But if you want to get really tasty boiled corn, it is worth paying attention to small details.
So, it doesn’t really matter what kind of water you use for cooking – cold or hot, the main thing is that it covers the cobs completely.
If you have a problem with the corn not fitting into the pot, you can safely cut it into pieces.
For young fruits, the cooking time is 10-15 minutes after boiling.
Cooking "older" corn takes from 40 minutes to an hour.
To understand that the product is ready, you need to make sure that the grains are soft. In this case, a simple life hack will come to the rescue: cut a small piece from a whole cob, put it in the pan with everything else and take it out from time to time to check if the grains are soft enough.
As for salt, everything is also simple - you can not salt the corn at all, add salt during cooking or sprinkle it on the finished cobs.
