Cooking Corn Cobs
Dear Aunt Daisy, Now as corn is ripening in many vegetable gardens, I wonder if you would pass on to readers this advice about cooking it? We plunge our cobs into unsalted boiling water for from 114 to 2 minutes, depending on the size and number of cobs, and then drain and serve, leaving the butter, pepper and salt to individual tastes. Everyone whom we have persuaded to try this method instead of the usual 20 minutes cooking, has been entirely converted; as, apart from the saving of gas or electricity, the corn is very much more " tender, fresh and tasty. You reaily need to leave it in the water only long enough to heat it through thoroughly; certainly not more than 2 minutes.
