I have to second the my Dad’s sweet corn a pp mentioned. I bought it from the fresh market (54th and college) last summer and it was AMAZING. (Haven’t seen it this yr) It’s brought in fresh every day and almost always sold out everyday last yr. Very convienent for the city dwellers.

Thanks, Casey! My corn always ends up soggy and mushy. Your way sounds perfect.

Ok that corn looks good and that is the way I used to make it but…. there is a little gem at Indianapolis Farmers Markets known as “My Dads Corn”. Indianapolis monthly talked about them in an issue last summer.
I think I might be a corn connoisseur and have tried many kinds at grocery stores and farmers markets but this stuff is the BEST. The owner told me the best way to cook it is to STEAM for 8-10 min. De-husk, rinse, get a pot with a few inches of H2O boiling then put one of those metal things with holes that closes up on itself, put corn in, lid on 8-10 min of steaming and it’s perfect. Sorry to be a know it all, you are getting so many variations of this simple task but try “my dads corn” and you won’t be disappointed!

I grew up just outside New Jersey. We always bought our corn in the Grocery store because it was ALWAYS Jersey corn and it was good (or so I thought).
The first time I brought corn home to my then fiance, now husband said “what’s THAT”. It was June. Corn isn’t ripe up hear in New England until August.

I have since seriously learned the error of my ways and only by corn in August from farm stands.
