How to cook corn properly so that it is soft and "juicy"

0

Corn is a long-awaited summer vegetable that can always delight us with its impeccable taste.

However, for the desired result, simply taking and boiling the cabbage leaves will not be enough.

It is necessary to know some subtleties of cooking.

1. Boil with the leaves
To make the taste of corn deeper and richer, it should be cooked with the leaves and even the "hair".

There are 2 ways:
a) remove the top leaves and cut off part of the hair from the top, rinse thoroughly and cook in this form;
b) peel the cob, wash the leaves, line the bottom and sides of the pan with them, and then cover the corn itself.

2. Be careful with sugar and salt
To make the corn sweet, you can't do without sugar. For 1 liter of water, take a spoonful of white sugar. But you shouldn't salt the water, because the vegetable will be dry and mushy.

Salt is added immediately before serving.

3. Cooking time
This indicator depends on the “youth” of the cobs and varieties. It varies from 15 to 45 minutes. After 15 minutes of cooking, simply check the corn for doneness.

4. Add butter
Another interesting way to serve corn is with butter. Place a small piece of butter on the hot cobs and rub it in a little so that the kernels absorb the creamy aroma and taste completely.

5. Control the fire
After boiling, corn should be cooked only at medium power and under the lid. Make sure that the vegetable is completely covered with water. If necessary, just turn it occasionally.
