COOKING TIPS
In the kitchen.
- 1Boil directly from frozen in a large pot of water for 5-7 minutes, or until kernels are tender.
- 2For grilling or roasting, thaw slightly, brush with oil or melted butter, and cook over medium-high heat, turning frequently until lightly charred.
- 3Microwave by placing cobs in a microwave-safe dish with 2-3 tablespoons of water, cover, and cook on high for 4-6 minutes, turning halfway through.
- 4Season after cooking, as salt can draw out moisture and toughen the kernels if added during the boiling process.
