Cooking
1. To choose a delicious corn, you need to understand a little about it. First, young corn has light grains, most often it has small cobs. Secondly, in order to purchase exactly the sweetcorn, it is necessary to try it, chip off one grain, and you will immediately understand whether it is sweet or not. The next thing you should notice is the leaves. Do not buy corn without leaves! If they are not there, it may indicate that she was processed and the leaves turned black.
2. Carefully clean the corn from the leaves. Put a few inner sheets on the bottom of the pan, add the stigma there too. Break the cobs into 2 - 3 parts. If the pan is large, you can not break it, but cook it whole.
3. Fill all with water and place on the stove over high heat. Young corn cooks only 5 - 10 minutes. Old cobs cook much longer than 2-3 hours.
4. Check the corn for readiness. Pierce the grain with a knife or fork, if you can do it without difficulty, the corn is ready.
5. Before serving, salt the cobs well, place on a plate and decorate with greens. The dish is ready!
