Corn 'Boiled and Buttered'

[STLgurl03]

wow that looks really yummy :)

[codsamanta]

Only 10 minutes? isn't it crude? When I'm boiling corn it takes at least an hour until it's done :O

[kooktocook]

@codsamanta No it isn't crude. Corn only takes a bit of time to just soften and get hot. Corn doesn't have to be cooked but not many enjoy it that way. As someone who was raised right beside corn fields I can say 10 minutes is the norm. Perhaps a bit less or more but not much. An hour is way too long but I am not surprised as the most common mistake is cooking it too long. The flavour is cooked out and the corn is too soft. See comments below for more discussion. cheers! KtC

[codsamanta]

@kooktocook Well, everybody I know does the same as me. But I'm going to try it your way (I love to eat corn but I hate watching it boil it takes too long lol). Anyways, thank you very much for your advice. Take care and have a very nice day :)

@BetiucTomi,

Corn porn FTW!!

[anmoose]

Good reminder. I have a BAAAAAD habit of overcooking corn. Usually because I'll throw it in too soon and forget about it while I'm doing a half dozen other things. "Ah, it'll be okay"... and then the only taste it has left is the butter I put on it. LOL

[kooktocook]

@anmoose I suppose many have done this. Just leave it to the last item to prepare while the table is being set. Have a great day! KtC

[mehquig]

LOL I had the same thing prepared the same way only last week!

[kooktocook]

@mehquig mmmmm butter (I can't help but repeat myself) lol

[451231231]

well i guess 1 table spoon of butter is ok i guess, i'm worried about my weight lol

[kooktocook]

@451231231 Try an infused olive oil with let's say chives or thyme..... mmmm

[kooktocook]

@AmericanPowerBase I love the corn corn. Your welcome! KtC

[iceyjr3]

the way u were buttering the corn, almost looked sexual

[kooktocook]

@iceyjr3 It's sexy corn for sure!

[seygra20]

lol

[MrVlogMadness]

Which is better, steaming or boiling corn?

[kooktocook]

@MrVlogMadness Both are quite good. Steaming takes a bit longer and you require a few extra cooking tools than just a pot of water. Off the cob, I would certainly use a veggie steamer to cook the niblets. cheers! KtC

[JanessaTheCow]

[: Your videos are so easy to watch... I think it's cause of the tasty food you make.

[kooktocook]

@JanessaTheCow I am happy you enjoy the videos. cheers, KtC

[yoyomax12]

Melted butter! mmmmm

I think that people make the mistake of boiling the corn to death, when only a couple of minutes really does the trick.

[kooktocook]

@yoyomax12 Not sure why folks do that but yes, I have seen it. It is not so much to cook the corn but to soften it a bit and warm it up for the butter. Good point. cheers, KtC

[Texa41]

I'm speechless, simply speechless.

[kooktocook]

@Texa41 :D mmmmm corn......butter......

[hypnotiqdom]

No offense to you cuz i LOVE your vids... but did people really need this recipe?? As a matter or fact i'm sure there are some people who did! lol

[kooktocook]

@hypnotiqdom Hard to believe but some folks have internet but no corn. Also, some folks could use a lesson or two. I just wanted to shoot some food porn :)

KtC

[bowhunter2439]

More butter....lol....!!!....looks great....!!!

[kooktocook]

@bowhunter2439 More butter for the Bow!

[cdm0014]

*sigh* looks soo delicious!

[kooktocook]

@cdm0014 Thanks it was quite tasty! KtC

[MsChopperdog]

I like mine with lots and lots of pepper :)

[kooktocook]

@MsChopperdog I do too. I used a mixed peppercorn that added a nice taste. Many things folks enjoy on the corn, share you ideas! Thank you! KtC

[PSPGlover]

You can also wrap it wet bounty (white absorbent paper towel) and microwave for 4 min...save a little time

[kooktocook]

@PSPGlover I have used a paper lunch bag, about the same amount of time. Thank you for sharing. KtC

[scarecrow1701]

Boy=howdy, that was corny! :P

[kooktocook]

@scarecrow1701 lol Nice!

[dwtlax]

All due respect, this is such the WRONG way to cook corn on the cob. Big pot, one inch of water, steamer basket on top, stack the corn bring to steam.. When you smell the corn it is done. Saves energy.. Good stuff does not boil out... and very hard to over cook.. Please try it...

I grew up on a corn farm and this is how I was taught to make it.. 

[kooktocook]

@dwtlax You mean incorrect to your preference.

I understand and yes, steamed corn is great. I have enjoyed it many times. However, no error boiling it up as long as you do not over-cook. Ditto with the MV. I live around plenty of corn and I too, have enjoyed many methods. Work with what you have and prepare what you enjoy (and try all recommended methods).

thx, cheers, KtC

[ppsf1958nr]

Yum yum i could eat that right now. :D

[kooktocook]

@ppsf1958nr yeah. Me too... Off down the road to the man with the corn! KtC

[fezan84]

lmao, this was like food porn until you started putting on the pepper =P

[kooktocook]

@fezan84 Porn can be spicy!

[freitasex]

That was pure corn porn!

[kooktocook]

@freitasex I know, I couldn't help it. mmm butter.... lol thanks mate, KtC

[Ashenix]

it is sooo delicious, but with braces... i can't eat corn on the cob. ughh

[kooktocook]

@Ashenix But your choppers will eventually be in great shape to attack all the corn you desire. lol I understand. cheers, KtC

[marcussurfer]

needs more butter than that!

[kooktocook]

@marcussurfer mmmm butter.....

[slqk2]

yummy :-)

but don't forget to put salt in the water !

[kooktocook]

@slqk2 Salting the water is not uncommon but I do not. I used salted butter instead of my usual non-salted. Some add sugar to the water also. But the corn should be naturally sweet itself. cheers! KtC

[KlondikeBar86]

i like how all of the vids are 1 minute long!

[kooktocook]

@KlondikeBar86 Thank you, I enjoy making them. cheers, KtC

[GimmeXtra]

the butter was so sexual lol

[kooktocook]

@GimmeXtra lol, mmmm butter...

[psychodelicdragon]

love that corn on the cob!!

my sister in law says cook it for an hour? is that too quik? haha

[kooktocook]

@psychodelicdragon Hi! The hour is too long. Most is ten minutes. I prefer about 4 minutes myself. You can eat it raw. cheers, KtC

[psychodelicdragon]

@kooktocook i know, i got a reply from someone on another site and he, she said it most appropriately, YUUUUUUUUUUKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!! i don't even think it takes that long for soup!!??

you are my favorite cook on youtube!! bar none!!
