Selecting and Cooking Fresh Corn
When buying fresh corn, select ears with healthy-looking husks. Store the corn in the husk in the refrigerator for no more than 2 days to retain as much of the sweetness as possible. To prepare fresh corn, remove the husks from the ears, scrub with a stiff brush to remove the silks or fibers, then rinse. Cut the kernels from the cob with a sharp knife. Cook, covered, in a small amount of salted boiling water for 4 minutes. Or, steam for 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and serve.
