11 All-Star Ways to Cook Corn on the Cob

Corn season – it’s officially on! It’s the season to eat outside. And, it’s the season to eat with your hands – especially corn on the cob. What follows here is a round-up of corn-centric ideas to inspire you this summer.

11 All-Star Ways to Cook Corn on the Cob

Corn on the Cob Basics

  • These recipes are all about celebrating corn – shopping for the freshest corn, still in husk, makes a difference!
  • If you shuck the corn before grilling, keep an eye on it, it can get dried out. Try grilling in the husk to keep in steam.
  • If you boil the corn in a large pot, definitely shuck it before. Salt the water, boil for 3-5 minutes.
  • After cooking, if you want to get the corn off the cob to use in salads, sides and more, check out this method using a bundt pan (video -jump to :25 sec).
  • If you cook a lot of corn and remove it from the cob with the above method, try freezing it for future recipes!
  • Used cobs can be cleaned, placed in a stock pot and simmered to make a corn stock. Use the stock to bump up the flavor in corn-centric dishes (polenta, risotto, chowder).
