[Spridgets] Cooler Corn

[HomeHandy]

Thatbs a much easier way to do a lot of corn than I have been using. I grill 
the corn in the shucks for about 20 min, then wrap each ear separately in a 
sheet of newspaper and place it in the "cooler/warmer". Just before your 
ready to eat, unwrap and remove the shucks and silks. Corn is really good 
this way.  BUT, Cooler Corn sounds like much less trouble. I will have to 
try it next year.

      *The Best Way to Cook Corn on the Cob for a Crowd?*



It's Cooler Corn!

Am I the only person who hasn't heard of "cooler corn"?

As an obsessive food nerd, you'd expect that I would have at least heard of
it, but over the weekend I was blind-sided by the simple genius of this
method for cooking loads of corn on the cob perfectly.

I was hepped to it while visiting my family in Georgia . Short story: We
like corn on the cob. And with eight adults at the table, that means a
couple of dozen ears. We would have used the lobster pot to cook them all,
but the lobster pot was busy steaming lobster.



Then my sister, a capable Georgia cook with years of camping experience,
says "let's do cooler corn!" Before I can ask "what the hell is cooler
corn?" a Coleman cooler appears from the garage, is wiped clean, then filled
with the shucked ears. Next, two kettles-full of boiling water are poured
over the corn and the top closed.

Then nothing.

When we sat down to dinner 30 minutes later and opened it, the corn was
perfectly cooked. My mind was blown. And I'm told that the corn will remain
at the perfect level of doneness for a couple of hours.

Turns out, Cooler Corn is pretty well known among the outdoorsy set  But for
those of us who avoid tents as  much as possible, it's perfect for large
barbecues and way less of mess than grilling. In fact, I may even buy
another cooler just so I'm ready for next summer. Now that I'm in the know.
