I know I’m starting slow on this cooking stuff but cut me some slack. I cannot believe how much fun this is! There are a lot of fancy ways I found to make corn, but I’m not fancy so here’s the ultimate bachelor recipe for cooking corn<\/p>\n

DIRECTIONS TO BOIL CORN<\/strong><\/p>\n

1) Put corn in kettle of water and boil 1-10 minutes. The longer you boil, the softer it is. I boiled my corn for two minutes and then let it sit. Put butter on it and it tasted good to me. What guy doesn’t love that simple recipe?<\/p>\n

That’s it. Chow down. Or read on for a more exquisite approach.<\/p>\n

Now I also found that people added milk to the water when boiling corn. From what I read, once you try this you’ll never go back to just water again. So here’s a fancier recipe for the more adventurous type:<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong>
\n6-8 ears corn , husks and silk removed
\n1 cup milk
\n1\/4 cup whipping cream , unwhipped (or use 1-1\/4 cups milk, the cream is better to use)
\n3 teaspoons salt (or to taste)
\n6 tablespoons sugar (can use more sugar)
\n1\/4 cup butter (you can use up to 1\/2 cup butter)<\/p>\n

Directions<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Fill a large stock pot (about an 8-quart) half full with water.<\/p>\n

2. Add in the milk, cream, salt, sugar and butter<\/p>\n

3. Bring to a boil, then add in the corn cobs<\/p>\n

4. Reduce heat to a simmer and allow corn to cook for 8-12 minutes or until tender, depending on size of corn try not to over cook the corn as it will become tough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
