It usually takes about 20 minutes to cook corn.

The length of time to cook corn mainly depends on the variety of corn and the pot used to cook the corn. If it is in a normal steamer, it may take about 20 minutes, in a pressure cooker it only takes 8 minutes, and in a rice cooker it may take an hour or even longer.

The color of the corn that has just been cooked is really beautiful

I believe that many friends like to eat boiled corn, but they don’t know how to do it? So I will share with you the specific skills and methods of cooking corn:

First, peel off the corn leaves. Remember to leave two pieces for the corn, so that the innermost two leaves wrap the corn, and the outer leaves The layer of skin can protect the moisture inside the corn from evaporation, while reducing the loss of nutrients, making it taste softer, waxier and sweeter.

Secondly, corn silk needs to be preserved. Many people don’t know that corn silk is very rich in nutritional value and is called “dragon whiskers”, which is very good for health.

Finally, when cooking corn, it is recommended to add two things, the first is salt and the second is edible alkali;

Add a few grams of salt to prevent the moisture of the corn Drainage makes the corn look fuller; and adding a little salt can bring out the sweetness of the corn itself, giving it a better taste.

Add a spoonful of baking soda

The purpose is to maximize the release of nutrients in the corn so that it can be better absorbed by the human body and make the corn taste softer, waxier and sweeter. Fragrant (if you are interested, you can really try it)

Sometimes when my mother cooks corn at home, she likes to pluck the corn husks cleanly and put them directly into the pot without adding anything else. Just boil it in water, but the cooked corn turned out to be old and hard, and tasted terrible. I said she didn't know how to work, and she even quarreled with me, saying that I was very fond of finding faults, and I felt very bad. Helpless, I feel uncomfortable, but there is nothing I can do, right? What can be done? Just let her go, I eat it anyway~~

This is boiled corn with the skin on

Oh~~ I almost forgot an important tip in the end (my brain, Cough, take it ~), remember to put cold water into the pot when cooking corn. The corn cooked in this way will be soft, waxy and delicious, and the nutrients in the corn can be retained to the greatest extent. Some people (including my mother) add a pot of water and wait for the water to boil before adding the corn to the pot. This is actually wrong. Because boiling water will cause the corn to be heated suddenly, the outside will be cooked, but the inside will probably not be cooked yet, and the taste will be much worse. So cooking corn may seem simple, but in fact there is still a lot of knowledge involved. .

So today I am sharing this knowledge about cooking corn with you, hoping that through some of the knowledge and skills I have mastered, everyone can cook delicious corn correctly and scientifically. , this is also my ultimate goal, and I am also very happy to help others. Because helping others makes you happy! ! !
