I like to soak the ears in their husks in lightly salted water then slow cook them on a low fire on the grill.

I like the grill as well. Took me a few times to get the time length correct and it's way slower than the instant pot or microwave procedures. |
A southern delicacy is "Silver Queen" ... for decades... only locally grown and eaten .... can be pulled off the stalk and eaten in the field. It's that tender & sweet but begins to degrade at that very moment. Too good to waste on moonshine :)

^^^ We had 'Silver Queen' up here years ago.....it was the best.
Pioneer Seed Corn gave away packets free to farmers that bought their field corn. Around here, they quit supplying it and the replacements are not as good as Silver Queen was. |

Local sweet corn is just starting to hit the stands, the Stillaguamish and Snohomish valleys flooded over and over for eons and the topsoil that was layered in grows excellent corn!
Yesterday I was out and about and looked for any stands, no luck except for a "designer" farm that had it for $2 and ear... Nope, I'll wait another week or 2 and get 3 for $2 or less. Seems the 4 for a dollar days are gone here at least. Then there's the Strawberries, Blueberries, Nectarines, Peaches (Millions of Peaches, but not for free) Love this time of year!! |
Picked up the last dozen for the year. The farm I buy from is closing for the season tomorrow. I removed the husks and used my vacuum sealer and put them in the freezer.
I’m curious to see if it will work. Not sure if others mentioned but my friends mother suggested we microwave the cobs, 2.5 minutes wrapped in a wet paper towel. Unreal, it tasted better than steaming. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1726281060.jpg |

Just finished a half dozen ears of Nirvana from our Farmer's Market. It used to be Marai but that farm has shut down, it seems.
Nuke/steam method. No butter, just a bit of black pepper. Also, damn good eaten raw. I need to grab some more before it is done until next year in late summer. May need to go direct to the farm and pick it myself. |
