How to Cook Corn on the Cob

Video Transcript

Hi! I'm Louis Ortiz on behalf of Expert Village and we are back to show you how to clean a cob of corn and what we are actually going to do is cut the kernels from the cob because there is a really nice red milky kind of juice that comes from the corn and fresh corn of course if just so much better and far superior than any can variety. We've taken the top of the cob off and squared it and I am going to go ahead and take a little bit off the base to square straight off. The reason being is that I needed to sit up like this so that I can take a knife down and scrape the kernels off. Now if you feel it is necessary, you can cut this in half so that you don't have to work with a larger piece. It may be a little bit safer as far as that goes. So I am just going to take this off and we are kind of squaring it off, a squared off shape I should say from the corn. I'm not really trying to follow the curvature as much as I am just trying to get the kernels off. You want to get deep enough so that you get a really good yield out of this. Get the majorities of the kernel off. Again, we just kind of made a square shape as far as all that goes and those are the majority of our kernels. So you've got some good, red fresh corn here and the cooking time fresh corn won't take any time, any who. So that will cut down the cooking time for you if you use the fresh. So there's our Kernels and we are going to go ahead and throw these into a recipe later and you can come back and see how we utilized these. You can also throw these into a Pico De Gallo and salsas and things of that nature. We will show you in another video how to roast the corn and then take it off the stalk and use it for recipes such as that.
