Notes
HOW TO COOK CORNThere are many ways that you can cook corn and here are the ways how:
Bring a pot of water to boiling and boil the corn for 3-5 minutes.
Grill the corn over medium high heat for 3-5 minutes.
Keep the corn in its husk and microwave for 3-5 minutes. It steams the corn.
Cut the corn off the cob and saute in a pan with a little oil for 3-5 minutes.
HOW TO GET GRILL MARKS WITHOUT GRILLING
You can get those nice roasted marks but either sauteing in a pan or holding the cooked corn with tongs over an open gas stove flame. I even use my kitchen blow torch sometimes to get a little char on my corn.
