Picking the Best Corn
Before mastering the boiling technique, you need the right raw material. When shopping for corn, consider the following:
Husk Quality: Seek out bright green husks that snugly envelop the corn. Stay away from those that have brown or dry spots.
Kernel Test: Run your fingers over the corn to feel for round, uniformly placed kernels. Skip any with noticeable gaps.
Silk Inspection: Fresh corn has slightly moist silk threads. Dry or brown ones? That's a pass.
A Little Peek: If permissible, pull back a bit of the husk to eye the kernels. They should ooze milky juices and be free from discoloration.
