What do you do with the whole sweetcorn from your veg box?

[sameagain]

Just that really - until recently sweetcorn in this house came frozen in a bag

[charmander]

boil it for a bit until it changes colour to bright yellow. strip all the green off first

[policywonk]

Yes - strip off green bits, boil in unsalted water for about 6-8 mins (water makes the kernels tough). Eat with a bit of melted butter.

Once cooked, you can run a sharp knife down the side of the cobs to get the kernels off if you prefer to eat them that way.

boil or roast
i often cut them into small chunks before doing this
serve with butter if boiled

[PrettyCandles]

Only takes 10min or so, and once you've got the hang of it you don't even need to strip off the leaves, just add a couple of minutes to the cooking time. Makes very good picnic/packlunch food that way, as it comes in its own wrapping.

You can microwave too in the leaves - about 5 mins?

corn on the cob, yum!

[sameagain]

Thank you everyone

[SmugColditz]

I can't make the microwaving work with them, i have tried. they stay hard until they go dry1

[PrettyCandles]

Do you steam them, or mw them dry? They need lots of water.

[MadamAnt]

Personally I find it makes a very effective dildo.

Leave the leaves on if you microwave them - soak whole in water for about 5 mins then pour some water on top when they are on a plate then put them in microwave for about 5 mins. You need to keep the leaves on and they need to be wet so you get a steam effect.

cut the corn off and mix with flour milk and egg, makes ickle sweetcorn fritters
