Title: Corn on the Cob:
Post by: Splashdown on June 17, 2013, 05:51:55 PM
Do you eat it side-to-side or up-and-down?

I'm a side-to-side.

Damn. Should have made this a poll.

Side to side.  But do you start at the big end or the smaller end?

Smaller end.  It gives me something to hang on to so I can finish the rest of the cob.

See, with the drill, you don't have to be concerned about dropping it.  That's why I do up-down so I get at least one side to hang on to without getting butter all over my hands.

:lmao:

Side to side, like a typewriter, small end first.  I don't worry about getting butter on my hands. 

I don't care for it grilled, I prefer boiled/simmered.

Soaked in butter with lots of salt and pepper.

Big end left hand, little end right hand, nibble 3 to 4 rows of kernels at a time right to left, rotate and repeat.

Knife and fork here.

BTW, how do you'll cook the ears, I NEVER boil it I steam it and do not loose flavor in the cooking water.

The best corn on the cob I ever had was steamed in the shuck in a barrel.....just pull the shuck back and use it for a handle, butter, salt and pepper it...chow down.

Actually this time around, I cooked it in the microwave (in the shuck) for 4-5 minutes. It was excellent!

Me too - it's the only way.  Too bad I didn't learn this trick till just a few years ago.  I run the whole cob under water for a minute, then it steams in the microwave for 4 mins.  Then (very easily) turn down the leaves and corn silk into the perfect handle.   :-)

I met a nice girl at a corn boil, hours later I had corn on the knob.

I've never heard of that way but it sounds like the grill method, in tinfoil, while still husked -I will try it

Cooked in sugar water, then covered in butter with lots of pepper and a bit of salt.

side to side.... but I use those little pick thingies you stick in each end..

Will sometimes wrap in wax paper and do in microwave if I'm only doing a couple of ears.
