has anyone deep fried whole ears of corn
I will now. :D
Never heard of it but like Mooseherder said, now I'm gonna have to try it ;D
Yes, use a very, very light batter. food6
Different.
and let it cool for about 5 minutes, otherwise you'll get burnt.
Wouldn't it become popcorn while frying ? :-\
You are frying fresh corn on a cob instead of boiling it.
I was going to try it a couple ways tonight with some batter called Lefty's.
First was going to batter it and then boil it in water. If that didn't work well I was going to batter some more and fry them in oil. When I went looking for the fry kettle my wife informed me she had thrown it away because it had metal coming off of it. Instead I wrapped them in foil and cooked them on the grill. They were good that way and probably a whole lot better for you.
Can't wait to try it though. ;)
I like to fry canned corn in a frying pan with a touch of garlic, maybe some sliced onions and or tomatoes. Gives it a whole different taste.

Anything you can do to give canned corn a whole different taste is worth it in my books ;)
Sorry guys. Think I will have to pass on the deep fried corn. But I have had fresh corn cut off the cob and fried. It was pretty good.
Pat always mixes a can of cut and a can of creamed corn together. Of course whatever she does in the kitchen is fine with me 'cause that lady knows how to make a meal. food6
You can try using the creamed corn as the batter. ;)
I never thought of that but now I am gona try it 8) 8)
Worse thing that could happen is discarding an ear or so of Corn.
We'll be needing some pictures of course.
I don't see how that could work. Batter normally has flour to make it sticky.
Got any Flour? ;D
Just eat it hush. :D
i tried it last night it was really good no batter 375 for 15 min
Take it off the cob, throw in some onions, green peppers, season to taste and pan fry with a little butter or olive oil 'til just starting to brown. It is quite good. Works even better with corn that has started to get a little dried out. Next time you forget some in the veggy tray, don't toss it just because its not still nice and plump.
Old topic but I hate to see sweet corn ruined by frying in deep grease or dried up and fried.Sweet corn sugar turns to starch when the ear is picked.Its a waste of time putting corn in the fridge.Corn has to be used the same day it is picked.The sugar will be gone next day.Boiling sweet corn ruins it.Corn should steamed for 8 or 10 minutes.Steaming keeps it out of the water.The best sweet corn is done on a charcoal barbeque.10 minutes with the husk on.I see people picking over sweet corn in the grocery store.If the corn is over a day old the sugar is gone.You have to grow your own corn or buy it from a stand that picks a small amount at one time.Corn held over from yesterday is good cow and hen feed.
We have fried corn several times a month and love it. Of course there's nothing better than fresh picked and roasted on grill but that simply is not a option most times.
I still haven't bought a Deep Fryer to replace my old one. :-\
I'm more of a fried in a frying pan like LeeB does type of guy. :)
Throw in some fresh garlic, tomato and sprinkle a bit of Parmesan cheese on top.
Serve with mashed potatoes, fresh baked bread and a side of 20oz rib eye.
I like your choice of sides there Bill. digin_2
Old corn is good for livestock feed.Fresh picked corn is good eating.I aint had any rib eye steak money lately.
I have even heard that some make grits out of it. ;D
:D :D Dat was good. ;)
My wife microwaves her sweet corn. Would that be about the same as steaming it?
I love it grilled. Going to try some fried though.

I tried that for the first time this year, wrapped it in wet paper towels and only took a few seconds, fast but I prefer it on the grill as well.
A micro wave can heat a dish hotter the the food in the dish.I gave up on microwave oven years ago.

I microwave mine all the time. I wash the corn (leaving a very small amount of water on the cob), I have plastic corn holders that I screw in that are safe in the microwave, butter it and wrap in wax paper. I heat about 1 minute per ear. Turn the ears 1/2 way through the cooking time. Let sit for a few minutes to finish cooking. Peel off the wax paper (kind of slides off) and enjoy. WAY better than boiled!

How does a microwave heat a dish? Heat the food - yes, but don't understand what kind of dish will heat when microwaved.
We have been using the microwave shake and bake corn steaming method for several years. Here's an article that explains it. The most popular YouTube video has lost it's sound, but it's incorporated in this article and the sound works. Three-four minutes on high, cut an inch off the end, grab squeeze and shake and out it pops without the tassel and ready to eat.

From a nutritional standpoint, corn is a super food. It gave rise to civilization in the Americas. I especially like it creamed off the cob.

The dish either heats up from contact with the food/steam or the dish is not meant to be in the microwave - i.e. has metal in the glaze!
A friend of my wife told her this past summer how to microwave an ear of corn straight from the stalk. It worked GREAT. We just microwave the unpeeled corn for 4 minutes. Then cut the end off that was cut from the stalk. Slide the corn cob out with your thumbs from the other end, and everything pushes out of the way...silk, husk, etc. Leaving you a PERFECT piece of corn to eat. Slap on some butter and salt, and a quick snack is there for the taking!

We heard about cooking sweet corn this way this summer also. Cut the stem off about an inch from the bottom of the ear. This allows the corn to rotate in the microwave if you have a rotating mechanism. We cook it 4 minutes per ear. When it's done cut the bottom of the ear off 4 or 5 kernels from the bottom, and squeeze from the tassel end. As said, it just pops out as clean as can be.

I've eaten field corn when it just tassles out. It's pretty good ;)
Now when I eat creamed corn, I heat it nice and slow until just the right temperature. Then i drain it into a dish and let stand about 2 minutes. I then throw the corn away and east the dish. MMMMM. ;D
