Do you take the husk off corn before boil?

No, you don't take the husk off corn before boiling. In fact, boiling corn in the husk is the preferred method. Here's why:

* Flavor: The husk helps to infuse the corn with a sweeter, more delicate flavor.

* Moisture: The husk acts like a steamer, trapping moisture and helping the corn cook evenly.

* Convenience: You don't need to peel the corn after cooking, just pull back the husk and enjoy!

Here's how to boil corn on the cob in the husk:

1. Clean the husks: Remove any damaged or loose husks and pull back the silks. You can leave the silk on if you prefer, but it's easier to remove before cooking.

2. Fill a pot with water: Make sure there's enough water to cover the corn.

3. Bring the water to a boil: Add a tablespoon of salt to the water, which will season the corn.

4. Add the corn: Carefully lower the corn into the boiling water.

5. Reduce heat and simmer: Cover the pot and simmer the corn for 5-7 minutes, or until the kernels are tender.

6. Drain the water: Remove the corn from the pot and let it cool slightly before eating.

Enjoy your delicious corn on the cob! 🌽
