Not looking for a recipe, just want to know best way to cook fresh baby corn?!
Answers: In a steamer or wrapped in tin foil and dotted with butter and cooked in the oven.
I just put a about an inch of water in a pan, bring it up to heat, then drop in the baby corn and cover with a lid so they steam for about 4 minutes. You can add salt and butter after if you want, but they're great on their own :D
For one package of corn, I put about 1 cup of water and a sprinkle of salt in a covered pot. Bring that to a boil, then add the corn and stir it around. Then lower the heat to medium - cook it just until it is hot, maybe 3 or 4 minutes, then drain off the water right away. Add a little butter and it's delicious and easy.
METHOD OF COOKING
TO BOIL
Remove the husk & silk, place corn in a large pot, cover with water, boil covered for 3-5 minutes. This is probably the best way for making a quick dinner especially if you are cooking a lot of corn. Not a bad way to cook corn as long as you don't over cook. Corn should still be a crisp. For sweet corn add 1 Tbsp sugar (or more) to the water.
TO STEAM
Remove the husk & silk, steam covered 8-10 minutes.
TO MICROWAVE
Leave husk on (silk removed) & microwave on high, in a microwave safe dish, covered, 3-4 minutes. Let stand 3 minutes in the microwave. (1 ear)
Husk & silk removed, buttered, in a microwave dish, covered, 4-6 minutes, let stand 3 minutes in the microwave. (2 ears)
To cook 4 ears use the same procedure as above & cook 10-12 minutes, standing 3 minutes.
GRILLED
Husk & silk removed, wrapped in foil or placed in a foil pack, grill over medium coals 15-20 minutes turning a couple times.
BEST In the husk, silk removed, using a medium-high heat place on the grill & cook turning often until the husk is lightly browned on all sides, about 10-15 minutes.
ROASTED
Husk & silk removed, buttered & wrapped in foil. Bake at 375 F for 30 minutes. Can be baked along with potatoes or your roast.
I either steam and butter or boil with a dash of salt and a teaspoon of brown sugar.
The easiest way to do it is run it under water and place on a microwavable dish and cook for 6 minutes in micro wave then peel it and its ready for eating mmmm! Enjoy
just place baby corn in a microwavable bowl,add 2 table spoons of cold water,cover loosely and cook for 3 mins for 750 watt microwave
