What can I do with corn that isn't sweet?

When this happens, the best thing to do is cook the ears in their husks over high heat to concentrate whatever natural sweetness they've still got left. You can do this one of two ways: grill over high heat for 2-4 minutes per side until husks are charred; or roast in a 500° oven for 35-40 minutes, turning once.

Can you microwave cooked corn on the cob?

Reheat Corn on the Cob in the Microwave Place the ears of corn on a microwave-safe dish and cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel. Set the timer on the microwave for intermittent 10-20 seconds bursts of power – this will help the corn kernels warm up instead of just splitting open.

Should you salt the water when boiling corn on the cob?

Should you add salt to the water when boiling corn on the cob? No, do not add salt to the water. The salt can toughen the corn. If you really want to add something, one of my best friend's dads adds sugar to the water to sweeten the corn a bit more.

Is there corn that is not sweet?

1. Dent Corn. Dent corn, which is also known as "field corn," is an easy type of corn to spot -- there's a dent in the crown of each individual kernel of corn. It has a high starch and low sugar content, which means it's not sweet and juicy like the corn you buy to eat from the grocery store or farmers market.
