BOILED GREEN CORN ON COB. Choose young sugar corn, full grown, but not hard, test with the nail. When the grain is pierced, the milk should escape in a jet, and not be thick. Clean by stripping off the outer leaves, turn back the innermost covering carefully, pick off every thread of silk, and recover the ear with the thin husk that grew nearest it, tie at the top with a bit of thread, put into boiling water salted
Cook this with the app: pantry check, scaling, and the assistant.
