Preparation

To Prepare for Cooking Remove husks and silk, cut off stems and if desired remove tips. Corn can be roasted in the husks, wrapped or unwrapped, buried in hot embers or coated with oil and grilled. Kernels can be cut off the ears before cooking. Cut corn should be drained well before serving.

Test for Doneness - Kernels should be tender but not soggy.
