Don't Boil Your corn, You'll thank you... Seriously! There are so many ways to cook and prepare corn why would you boil it? It's the blandest method in my opinion, and you lose nutrients! So I wanted to test a few of the best ways I found on the internet to cook your corn that is far better than boiling!

Love your show, we like to wrap corn husks in cling wrap, peeled, and microwave for 3 minute...always juicy and tastes great, add some vegan butter and salt to taste.
You forgot to douse them in lime juice and put salt on them. You will never go back to using butter again.
The problem with your microwaved corn is that you nuked it too long. Three (3) minutes for ONE ear of corn; two (2) minutes for each additional ear. It comes out succulent. Try it again with reduced nuke times!
I do it even less than that! Like a minute and a half to two minutes. Granted, I grew up farming and would pick it straight from the stalk and eat an ear raw, so maybe I just have a taste for undercooked sweet corn :) Also, peel the husk until there's only one layer left - you should be able to see the kernels through it when you microwave it in my opinion. We also used to do a variant of the foil grilled where you bury it in the coals for a while and dig it back out later - they come out incredible!

@@GALL0WSHUM0R I actually do it leaving the whole husk on, it works basically like a moist paper towel and it traps the heat in which sort of steams it inside the husk, and any moisture needed comes directly from the corn husk itself and the cob, and it almost bastes itself in it's own juices. It's SO good. I prefer it over even boiled corn on the cob because the flavor is so full. It's even enjoyable without butter/salt and pepper. And it holds the crunch!
@@DozaCraft My favorite part of doing corn this way is that when you peel it after, the silk is completely stuck to the husk so it comes off with zero effort. Well, that and the fact that it's extremely easy to cook!
It all depends on your microwave.
We microwave in the husk. What’s funny is the way we discovered we liked it better was that we were grilling and forgot the corn. So I just threw it in the microwave to get dinner on the table. It tasted so much better. It was even better than the grill.
AGREED!!! We did the same discovery process as well! And figuring we micro the taters, then why not. But he overcooked it in the microwave.
100%! I had just left a comment about this, it's surprisingly juicy and holds ALL the flavor if you cook it with the full husk. I think dehusking it the way they did was why it turned out dry and flavorless
From Italy, I grew up with a farmer neighbour! He always gifted us some of the produce as a neighbour courtesy and I still remember that corn: fresh, straight from the field, grilled and toasty, with bruschette and spiedini on the side... Man, you brought me a good 20 years back in time!
That sounds amazing!!!! Grilled is the best!
My grandfather was a lawyer in West-Central Colorado, where they grow lots of produce. He did water rights law, and a few other types of law. There were a lot of poor immigrant farmers in the Grand Valley at the time. These were families which worked hard, but for most part couldn't afford a lawyer. When water from the Colorado river and the Gunnison River started coming under greater and greater demand, it became apparent that everyone who had a farm was going to need rights to so many acre feet of water before Denver and other Eastern slope cities gobbled it all up. The eastern slope and high plains are kind of dry, so they built big tunnels and pumps to pump the water over the continental divide for the ever growing cities of Denver, Pueblo, Colorado Springs, Boulder, Fort Collins, and many others. That looked like it was going to lock the poor Hispanic farmers out, but it didn't. My grandfather started making deals with the farmers in which he'd do the water rights legal work for them in exchange for a basket or a box of whatever produce they planned to grow. He only asked for one basket, and only for one year. But most of those farmers appreciated it so much that they'd send a basket his way every year. and as their yields grew they'd send more produce. He canned or froze a lot of it, and he almost never had a shortage of anything. He took great pride in showing everyone the produce he'd put buy, and he'd always have something fresh to feed people when they came by for supper or lunch. The people who came to eat at his house the most often? Those same farmers. He was on a first name basis with all of them, and he could stop in for a bit with them at any time, but must often he stopped in for a little "jaw jackin'". A lot of those farmers ended up pretty wealthy. A lot of them went into growing peach orchards, and those Colorado peaches ended up being high demand items all over the nation, even eclipsing the famed Georgia peaches for which that state is known. Next time you see a Colorado peach in the grocery store, or the next time you eat one, know that you are eating it because my grandfather was willing to help out poor Mexican immigrant farmers for a bushel of potatoes, a bushel of corn, a bushel of onions, or a bushel of peaches, or whatever they were growing. He didn't get rich, but he got everything he wanted.
Just in time for the summer!! This was super interesting, I never thought it could get better than good ole fashioned steamed corn! I gotta ask my gpa to grill some corn for me this summer
OMG Merle you will LOVE grilled corn if you've never had it! It's sooo good! It's the only way I do it now!
Grilled in the husk truly is the best way to cook corn! Easy and fast tend to take over too much.
there’s a much better microwave method : keep the husk on, 2-3 mins per ear. you can do a ton of ears at the same time, stays juicy as it steams. if you don’t want to fire up the grill (or don’t have room on it), it’s the best way to go.
This! Full husk and in the microwave. It's the most enjoyable way, in my opinion. Although it's hard to beat grilled corn on the cob
I airfry mine and it's amazing. I don't think there's a bad way to cook corn, but there certainly are better ways as you've shown.
I just suggested to him to deep fry, but I have an air fryer now, and have never done that. Thanks for the tip!
Definitely going to try the husk one! Thanks for doing a comparison on all of them!
You're going to love it!!
As an albanian (and someone from balkan countries) i love the grilled corn!
i'm actually about to make a few different types of byrek soon! love to shqipëri!! 🇦🇱 ❤️
Grilled corn is fantastic!!!
This seems like an America's Test Kitchen style of video but better and i love it so much! Keep these coming! I got my first charcoal grill this summer and i will definitely be doing that now. Thank you! 😊
Thank you!! and enjoy the charcoal grill! To me it's the best!
@@SauceStache thank you! 😊
So yummy, I gave my guinea pigs an ear of corn that I wish I would have been eating! I always ate it raw out of my garden just picked. This looks delicious as most of your food does. Thank you for still making videos and keeping people excited about food that doesn't harm animals.❤
1st time I hear people boiling corns 😂 you guys in US and Canada got such funny ways of cooking.
It's why we're strong enough to save you,... TWICE.
I always grill my corn with husk and silk. Been doing that since a little kid when my grandma and grandpa taught me, that's 30 plus years
Great video, once again!
I've been doing the grill in husk method for years, but usually soak it first for about 10-15 minutes to keep the husk from charring too quickly. Perfect every time!!
Thats a really good tip!!! I need to try that next time! Thank you!
Yep. Came to say the same thing. If I'm doing a bunch, I'll fill a large cooler with warm water, pour in some salt to dissolve, and then drop in a dozen or so ears and let it soak for a bit. Works great.
In Japan, at home, people may boil their corn. But at festivals, corn is grilled with soy sauce, occasionally with butter too. While I don’t do butter, the soy sauce is f’n delicious!
Loved the comparison of different cooking methods along with Monica's ratings!
Definitely love grilling with husk on!
Widely good!!!
I haven't boiled corn in like 20 years. I've been roasting them in the husks... Once I discovered that I never went back. It's easier and better.
Literally, I literally had this dilemma two days ago. Threw the corn on my tiny grill with no foil because I don't have class. Failed.
Mark try this: Corn ribs on BBQ.
Peel the corn, cut in 4 on the long side (this have a technique: cut the notch and then taking the knife on both sides, handle and edge, gently hit the corn on the table and it will be cutting firmly and slow, so it doesn't break).
Then cover the ribs with bbq sauce with your hands and cook them both sides on the grill. The serve with a mix of butter, bbq sauce and salt flakes.
I get everyone loving them every time I do BBQ!
That sounds AMAZING!!!! Really good. I made a version of corn ribs once (not like yours) and they were really really good!!! I need to try your method as it sounds awesome! Thank you
You’re awesome! I was recently thinking about the best way to cook corn, but never thought to try it in the husk on the grill. Thank you!
You're awesome!! haha thank you! Husk on grilled or roasted is my 2 go toos now!! just so good!
Just now tried it.
Absolutely excellent!!!
I like to cook my corn with the husk it seems to give a good flavor I learned that from Tasting different tamales🫔
mmmmm now I want tamales!! hahah
Great video once again. Answered some questions I had about the best ways to cook corn. Thanks.
When microwaving, don't use a wet paper towel, just peel the husk back to just one layer, wet it and microwave for 1 minute, 3 times with a 30 second rest in the middle. You can probably get the same effect by using a lower power mode.
I just cooked mine in the oven for the first time a couple days ago. I didn't even remove the silk. Turned out really good! I have to admit I'm too lazy to bring out the charcoal grill a lot of the time. I used to use it more often for meat, but...
I just stick it in the air fryer, works great, quickly
I use the youtube tv app and it has this annoyin feature, which still happens even when you rewind to the start of vid, where it always cuts off the first second of audio on videos... So that meant your vid started for me
"Boil your corn this summer, youll thank you" xD
ahahahah omg really??? I need to start my videos a second in haha
@@SauceStache I swear its only the youtube tv app that does it, and it stopped doin it for a time too; but now its back. Ive used laptops, phones, ps4, switch, wii u, and probs others too and nvr had this issue. Oh, and it also nvr loads the subtitles until a couple seconds in; so i have to rewind anyways and still dont hear it
It makes me rly annoyed when i miss part of a signature intro that i swear i get serotonins from listenin to xD Spec thinkin of CallMeKevin's "Hey there, friends" which always gets cut to just the last half of the word friends
Shocked! Thanks!
Good tips.
Always did it in the husk. Thought everyone did it this way lol.
I just steamed a couple cobs in the husk and they turned out great! The bonus is removing the silks were so easy. This will be my new method from now on.
Try boiling in a large pan with like 2in water inside the husks for a few mins, it will steam the corn inside the husk without losing flavor
Ohhh thats not a bad idea!! I will give that a try, thanks for the tip!
We bbq our husk corn most of the time, we don’t trim it either. We also smoke our corn in the husk as well, the smoke penetrates nicely.
I microwave my corn all the time, I watched in horror as you cooked it for 5 min haha! Try it again but cook for 3 min and then just let it sit.
I'm happy to see that you are supporting Adam Ragusea ! (Knife) Never cared for grilled corn... but I will have to try Steaming my corn.🙂
Dude, haven't watched you guys for a while and you guys look lean and healthy! Great work =)
Thank you!! lots of little changes over the last few years really worked out!!
My corn boil water is always the beginning of a ramen broth.
I kind of agree, after eating grilled corn (without the husk though!) ~2 years ago I no longer think boiled corn is anything more than "fine". Having said that, there are days when you just want that basic, (not overcooked!) nostalgia flavor :D
Margarette!! yeah grilled or roasted corn is great, but there is totally nothing wrong with nostalgic old fashioned boiled corn. Hope you're doing well
@@SauceStache Thank you! Just catching up with the content I like after a crazy time and fairly enjoying it! Have a wonderful rest of the week!
I like to use my instapot for corn. But I might try the oven. Grilling is just a bit much to do regularly. Now I’m hungry for corn!
We always grill it husk on. When it about 2/3 of the way done, we take it out of the husk and grill right over the coals to get some browned smokey bit. We love Tajin on fresh corn.
I cut them into 1 inch disks and pan fry on both sides.
You get that smoky grilled popcorn favour on the flat surface and the corn in-between is nice a juicy.
Easy to eat the kernel's off the core too.
Really good for experimenting with compound butters as well.
I grill with the husk. Don't cut off either end like stache does. And leave the silk in. It has moisture which when heated makes the corn juicy and cooks it in the husk.
I don't think I have seen corn in the husk for sale in UK supermarkets, but I do love my sweetcorn drier and definitely not boiled!
A family favorite is grilled with husks on! Love the crunch and the smokiness and juiciness of it! I also like the oven roasted one . My mom will throw them in the oven to accompany our winter solstice dinner. I personally am not a fan of the microwave or foil grilled version because I find it adds a weird after taste that I can pinpoint. especially the foil wrapped one.
I was hoping to find a different or more interesting way to cook corn, but it seems I was cooking it the best way already? Either way. Still very informative. Love it.
IMO, it turns out even better if you dehusk them and put them back on the flame to get some char. So good! I actually just put them husk-free on the flame from the get go as I like my corn a little undercooked so don't need them on for very long so it doesn't get to the point of drying out.
You definitely did not do the microwave correct. That's the only way I do it and it comes out crispy every time. I just cut the bottom part off and put it in the microwave for 2 minutes (No wrapping it in paper towel) for each corn and it comes out delicious.
Our family favorite method is to brine the corn completely whole husk and everything and then toss it on the grill and oh my goodness is it good
As a Mexican, I approve grilling the corn! 🌽 now slather some vegan mayo, nutritional yeast crumble, and chili powder!
LOVE making that!! I did a version of that for my buddies one night and they lost it!
@@SauceStache It’s amazing!
Once I tried steaming it I never went back to boiling and I don't add butter and salt and I love it
Now I want corn 😅 guess I have to get out of bed today 😂
hahahah Im going to have more corn tonight! haha
I tried boiling in water with milk and butter in it and love the creamy flavor it gives. When I microwave, I remove the husk and cook it covered. Have not tried the oven.
How would the in-husk grill work while still using foil to wrap it? I wonder if it'd be the same result without worrying about the husk leaves falling in, especially for a propane grill.
I bet it would work fine honestly. You might lose some of the grill flavor but shouldn't be a huge issue! It'll still end up tasting great!
I used to bake mine. I usually do it in the instant pot for about 5 minutes now. I will have to try it on the BBQ with the husk now.
I steam mine in instapot for 2 minutes. Perfection.
You can steam it in a pressure cooker with a water bath, that way, the nutrients dont seep out, the flavor isnt watered down, and the corn is soft.
Flavorwise, I doubt it will beat roasting inside a husk on a grill or in an oven, but, it takes a third of the time to do it in a pressure cooker.
We grill our corn on the BBQ, in the husk as well, but we soak them for an hour or so first.
i've always pulled the husks back, cleaned off the silk then butter, salt, pepper and smoked paprika the ear. put the husk back over the corn, wrap in foil and toss directly on the coals. steamed and grilled at the same time but i'm weird that way = )
Unrelated but wow, you look great! Whatever you're doing is clearly working! 😊
Hah! I like your Adam Regusea knife :p
Thanks!! I'm really digging it!
I wrap mine in foil with butter and salt and oven roast it so it kinda gets steamed, boiled in oil and roasted.
I always soak my corn with cold water in the husks before BBQing them in the husks. I find it keeps it even juicier
Oh and I serve it with salt, pepper, and lime juice!!
My friend put it as is in microwave for seven minutes then let cool down and peel it and eat it it’s delicious trust me try it
In India,in the streets vendors grill the corn with husk removed on the charcoal like literally on charcoal while fanning it and you get that smokey flavour which is unmatched with chilli powder,lemon, salt🤤
You should try air fried corn! It's not as good as the grilled. But it's a close second for me.
Airfried corn is amazing too
@Sauce Stache, I have got the one you missed, which may beat out in-husk grilled. Have you ever had it deep fried? The oil you pick may matter for taste, but you end up, of course, not needing to slather it in any kind of butter, just salt to taste. I think my late husband and I used to do ours for 10-15 minutes, dropped into the already hot oil. I am not normally big on oily foods, but for an occasional taste treat, this is amazing. It is better if you are using oil you have used before for deep frying both potatoes of whatever kind, tempura, and/or onion rings. You can even make "field corn" snatched from a roadside field (intended as animal fodder) taste great, when fresh, with this, as well as the in-husk grilled method, and field corn is not so disgustingly "super sweet," as is the trend these past few years or so. Not that I recommend thousands of people go rob farmers of their corn! But nobody is gonna miss six or so ears here and there.
I do mine in the husk on the bbq. It is delish.
That Adam Ragusea knife 🔪 😂
The flavour of corn largely depends on the crop.
totally
i'd say husk grilled is the OG way to prepare it, and the best. All other methods are just imitation. also if you cut the bottom off the cob first you can pull the silk out, making prep after it's piping hot much easier.
Yeah love husk grilled... it's really all I do now! I love it, and cutting off the bottom is a legit good tip!
Really made my mans eat the floor corn😔
My favourite is microwaving it without cutting off the ends. It seals in the steam in better, more thorougly cooks it, and makes it easier to get the husks and silks off, plus there's less waste. Just my opinion though. Different people like it different ways, and there isn't any right or wrong way to do it. Just make it the way that you like best. I had a friend who liked to quarter it lengthwise, put some Mexican spices on it then put it in her air fryer. each piece would curl a bit so that it had the curve of a banana to it, though it obviously wasn't as thick. It turned out to be pretty good.
I guess the bottom line with corn is that it's one of North America's favourites from southern-most Mexico right up the Great Plains, through all of the United States, and a major portion of Canada too. With all those different cuisines there's sure to be one which is your favourite, unless you can't eat it for health reasons. For all of you, I sure hope medicine hurries up and finds a cure. Things like celiac disease aren't fun, and just aren't fair.
There's one method you haven't tried. If you pick a relatively young corn you can eat it in the next couple of days uncooked. It tastes devine
We would soak the corn in husk before putting on the grill to get a steam effect.
It's corn!
It is!
Try air fryer corn with avocado oil delicious
Steaming sounds best to me.
Steaming is pretty good!!
LOL When I saw the thumbnail I thought for a second 'did Adam Ragusea upload twice today?' and then I see you use the Adam Ragusea knife to cut the corn on the cob. I like the content of both of you! When it comes to Adam's I also watch the meat-recepies, partly because of entertainment from listening to him but partly also for he includes widely applicable techniques and emparts good advice for all. What do you think?
I started eating my corn raw about 10 years ago & ive eaten it that way ever since.
Be careful, too much cooking with aluminum can be dangerous to consume. Although, the amount normally is insignificant.
Grilled in the husk is the only way I have cooked my corn all my adult life. The only thing I do different is I allow it to soak in salt water overnight, if I have the time...
I ate fresh raw corn over 30 years ago and since then I never eat it cooked anymore. Must be fairly fresh to eat raw, definitely worth trying. No butter, no salt, just incredibly juicy fresh corn. Try it!
Exactly 😂
Yes! It's the best!
I love fresh raw corn. It's so crispy a refreshing! Great little snack food treat!
For husk grilled did you remove the silk first?
Yeah, pealed back a bit and removed the top silk... let the rest burn off!
@@SauceStache nice. Thanks. My daughter loves corn on the cob so this will be a keeper recipe.
When you boil corn the boiling water gets very sweet from the sugars leaching out(when you don't use too much water) and I really like the sweet water so boiling is still my preferred method
It's still good! so you do you! what ever you prefer!
Usually cut the kernels and serve it with a bit of the corn water, salt, queso fresco, mayo, chilli powder, lime and butter, corn on a cup
Yes! I love grilled corn
By far the best!!!
Someone needs to do a video on the best and easiest method to get margarine on an ear of corn.
I wonder what it is about grilling it in the husk that keeps it so much jucier than grilling it in foil. Seems like if anything, foil would keep more moisture in.
best way ive ever had: removed from husk, cut the ends, pop it on foil and cover with a little olive oil and salt & pepper, roll foil and pop on a grill.
ill never eat corn any other way now!
I wonder if cooking with the husk on allows the nutrients to be more available to the body
Now, unless you use some sort of base like baking soda, most of the nutrients are locked in, and won't be available when you eat the corn
I'm thinking the thick husk allows for the high heat to not penetrate the actual corn, but the heat is still there. The low heat, and long cooking time will allow the enzymes to breakdown the acids like phytic acid, and make everything available. That could be why the taste is so much better
Dont tell a cajun not to boil their corn lol
Some methods are too complicated, time-consuming, and troublesome, e.g. an outdoor grill, which many households lack. Cleanup is also a tedious and sloppy chore.
And why would I want to heat up my kitchen during Jersey’s blistering and humid summers with an oven baking or a pot boiling water?
Microwaving wins by default. I use Silver Queen corn from a local roadside stand. It needs nothing-not salt, not butter. It’s that tasty.
The only way I cook corn on the cob is in husk grilled/smoked, I like to pull the hairs out then soak all my cobs in the husk for 30mins then throw them on the grill, my wife doesn't even like corn that much but loves when I grill it
OHHHHHH I wish I would have tried the soaking method!!! I bet thats awesome!!
I steam my corn husk off and I think it's great.
Make some garlic butter. Mash up butter (or vegan butter replacement) with any combination of seasons you like: garlic powder or grated garlic, onion powder, salt and MSG, marmite, nutritional yeast, a veg boullion, red pepper flakes, ras el hanout, whatever. Carefully peel back the husks, and spread the butter mix on the corn - use the same fork for mashing it up and spreading it on. Carefully pull the husks back up against the corn. Grill. Die of pleasure.
Salt in the water toughens the corn…a little sugar instead.
MY F*CKING MAAAAAAAAN!!!
YESS!! MY MANNNNN BACK AT YOU!!!
We just eat corn raw lmao
wild!! You're the second person to say that and I couldn't imagine! one day ill have to try it
Yes! It's the best!
Have you tried a pressure cooker?
Foil pack is called hobo dinner here.
