这是一个夏天的仪式,第一次多汁地咬着辣玉米,上面撒上黄油。随着奶油般的光滑让位于内核的甜蜜流行音乐,一切都变得良好。但是过了一会儿,我完成了简单而简单的工作,并希望将东西混合在一起。我开始使用不同的方法来烹饪玉米和调味玉米,从用香料和其他美味增强的黄油加油到通过在脆脆的面包屑,奶油奶酪,新鲜的草药,新鲜的草药,新鲜的香草,新鲜的香草,新鲜的香草,新鲜的香草,新鲜的奶酪,新鲜的奶酪,新鲜的奶酪,新鲜的奶酪,新鲜的味道上滚动的大胆调味和质地有趣的浇头,从和烤坚果。他们吃饭凌乱吗?是的。但是它们并不无聊。
购买新鲜和本地
一旦从茎上拔出玉米耳朵,糖就开始转化为淀粉,变得更加坚硬和钝,因此购买最新鲜的东西。
Choose ears that are heavy for their size and have pale golden silks that are nearly damp and, well, silky. Give the cobs a gentle squeeze: You should feel firm kernels all the way to the tip. Resist the urge to peel back the husk to peek at the corn; it may be the best way to see what the kernels look like, but unhusked ears dry out quickly. (You wouldn’t peel a banana before you bought it, would you?)
If you can see samples of the varieties available, know that bigger kernels aren’t necessarily better. Neither is a deep yellow color. Corn naturally hybridizes, so countless options are available. I prefer petite white kernels with a subtle sweetness, but others may favor sugary plump ocher kernels and all the types in between.
理想情况下,您应该在计划烹饪的同一天购买玉米。将耳朵保持在冰箱中的果壳中(凉爽的温度停滞糖转换),直到准备烹饪为止。
Cook it: grill, poach, or steam
我煮几种不同的方式。我在烹饪很多耳朵时会拖出仓库,但是我不煮玉米,因为它太容易过度煮熟了。取而代之的是,我在煮玉米,煮玉米。当我想让玉米散发出一些烟熏味时,我点燃了烤架。而且,如果我只烹饪几只耳朵并想要快速的,我会转向微波炉。
用微波炉加热,最好煮只有四个耳朵at a time, but if you’re poaching or grilling, you can cook as many ears as your pot or grill can accommodate. Cooking times will vary depending on the size of the cob and its kernels. The best way to check for doneness is to take a nibble. The kernels should be hot and burst with a tender crispness.
在锅里偷猎
如何:将一大锅水煮沸。加入果壳,盖上盖,然后从火上取出锅。让站立直到酥脆,大约5分钟。
Bonus:This method is ideal for entertaining because you can cook a lot of ears at once and then keep them warm in the poaching water until ready to serve.
在微波炉中蒸
如何:微波炉的玉米无塑性耳朵(一次不超过4个),直到内核变脆(您需要将果壳拉下来检查),大约4分钟。稍微冷却,然后取下果壳和丝绸。
Bonus:最快的方法是玉米涅rv,无需事先用这种方法去除果壳或丝绸。核武器后,丝绸也变得容易得多。
烧烤
如何:准备中高的(400°F至475°F)木炭或燃气烧烤火,以直接烧烤。烧烤将玉米碎,偶尔转动,直到在地方烧焦,炸嫩,大约8分钟。
Bonus:如果您要烧烤,可以将玉米与剩下的一餐一起煮在外面,而且厨房里没有开水的水。
Roll your corn in all sorts of good things—panko, ham, goat cheese, almonds—for bold flavors and exciting textures, or boost flavor with tasty compound butters and tapenade.

Shortcut shucking
为了迅速撕下玉米,我首先要抢走玉米棒的底部,然后用它拔下大多数外部深绿色的壳。然后,我在另一端抓住尽可能多的丝绸,并将它们与较轻的绿色内壳一起剥离。
