Let’s chat about something that might just revolutionize your summer BBQs.
Picture this: you’ve got a bunch of fresh corn on the cob, eagerly awaiting to be cooked.
Now, you and I both know that boiling corn can be a bit of a drag.
It never quite tastes as good as you expect, right? Well, here’s a little secret – the slow cooker.
Yes, you heard me right. The humble slow cooker is here to save your corn game! By placing your corn in the slow cooker with a bit of water, you essentially steam it. This method locks in all that sweet goodness, making it as tasty as ever. And the best part? Once it’s done, you get to slather it with as much butter, salt, and pepper as your heart desires. Heaven!
Ingredients
Corn on the cob: Preferably fresh and juicy. It doesn’t get better than this.
Water: Just a bit – you’re steaming, not boiling.
Butter, salt, and pepper: Because is it even corn on the cob without these?
Preparation
Alright, here’s the lowdown on how to make this magic happen.
Step 1: First, shuck your corn. Get rid of those husks and silky threads until you’ve got clean, plump ears of corn.
Step 2: Place your corn in the slow cooker. Don’t worry about stacking – they’ll all get their turn.
Step 3: Pour a little water into the slow cooker. You just need enough to cover the bottom. Remember, we’re steaming!
Step 4: Set your slow cooker on high and let it work its magic. You’ll want to let it cook for about 2-3 hours. Try not to peek too much – let the slow cooker do its thing.
Step 5: Once your corn is done, it’s time for the fun part. Go wild with the butter. Season generously with salt and pepper. You’ve earned it.
So, there you have it, folks! No more boiling your corn like a caveman. The slow cooker is your new best friend. Give it a whirl and you’ll wonder why you ever did it any other way. Happy munching!
