Man I have been waiting for the local farmer to put his sign out. And the wait is rewarded with full bodied fresh crisp ears of corn that has so much sugar sweetness its hard to stop eating. This farmer has always had the best corn but this year is gotta be in the running the best of all time.
East central Mn, next to the St.Croix
I cut off 3 dozen ears last night… 14 baggies in the freezer 
Nice! That be awesome to cut your own corn. 3 trips to the farm since Friday cant stop! Luckily he is only 2 miles away and its self serve.
Do you blanch then stick in ice water? Then shave the kernels off?
You guys ever try cooler corn.Clean the corn,place it in the bottom of a cooler,pour boiling water over it and put the lid on for half an hour.It cooks it perfect and will hold it for quite a while.Unlike the microwave the cob doesn’t get 300 degrees.Also easy to do large batches and frees you and your stove up for whatever else you need to do.
I usually do blanch, but we got this corn from my neice and nephew down in Medford and she said just to cut it off and freeze…. I did that and had some tonight… DELICIOUS !!! 
Looks like a great idea. Will be doing that reel soon.
Thanks STEVENOAK
Last fall, I saw a video, I think it was here, on removing husks from sweet corn very cleanly & easily. Anyone remember that?
Yes great eating then canning Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet corn
Thanks 
Best corn I ever had was in Alabama. Its pure white kernels.
It’s called Silver Queen. I lived down in Virginia and that’s all we grew. No one I’ve talked to around here has heard of it. Maybe it’s a stain that won’t grow around here. I haven’t even tried to find seed for it. The corn around here is delicious but I agree, I do think S.Q. is the best.
Yellow meat watermelon is hard to find here too.
You’re right, I haven’t seen them around here either. Different color but pretty much tasted the same. They just looked funny when you’re used to nothing else but red.
Love using my Electric Mister Twister to cut it off the cob A very quick and neat trick I learned a few years back on this site from Tuck
got 50 quarts and still going. I will get sweat corn until next year. that is the plan anyway
Like I have said I can not stop. Oh so many great suggestions and they all have there times.
I’ve experimented and tested against traditional ways and ways of the micro for quick tasty sweet corn.
I boiled, different methods always came out awesome if done at the right times. I will always use this when the time is right.
Grilled, Oh man you cant beat this. Rather labor intensive little bit more so than boiling. The results are incredible.
OK, I looked for fast that could satisfy my requirement sufficiently without degrading the wholeness.
I went to the microwave. Yes it works awesome on a dual or individual basis.
Did the, shuck the corn leaving a few husk one for three minutes turned out great, but as mentioned the cob is 900000 degrees.
Eliminated the husk thinking the husk are there for steaming. wrapped a wet half sheet of paper towel around the corn for 3 minutes same result awesome corn but the cob at 90000 degrees.
Then I slipped on a banana peel hitting my head on all those discarded husk and cob.,
Shave the the kernels into a bowl and microwave them.
If your a traditionalist that has to eat of the cob you will not like this.
One ear of shaved corn in a bowl at 50 seconds uncovered will taste the same as an ear of corn microwaved at 3 minutes either with shucks or paper towel or boiled. This fresh corn I’m talking about. Simple works in some cases and some times it is faster.
Try it and let me know.
Oh! I shave deep and gentile with the cob to get the most!!!
I’ve only been able to find average corn here in Apple Valley. I’m probably a corn snob, but just can’t find any Great corn, anyone know of any around?
thanks,
Jack 
Great corn in a little roadside stand between Centerville, WI and Winona, MN. 
2 great stands between Kimball and St Cloud on Hwy 15

Never thought I would see that posted on this site……
The best corn I know of near the metro is on the side of the road just south of Exit 4 on I-94, which is just east of Hudson, WI. It’s worth the drive from St. Paul, let me tell ya. I hit it up late last week.
sucks to be us down here, everything non-irrigated is burnt up. But, since we are talking about it I thought I’d bring up my favorite video, educational very educational.

Already picked and froze all of ours growing at my grandpas. Mowed the patches down too.
