I read somewhere about cooking corn in a cooler, and it has been on my mind for some time.
We usually soak corn in the husk, in water, and cook them right on the grill, but the grill was full.
Rather than cook food in shifts, I decided to give Cooler Corn a try.
The end result truly amazed me!
Clean your cooler well with soap and water
Peel the husk from your corn and place on the bottom of the cooler
Boil water - I used a large stock pot
Pour boiling water into the cooler and close the lid
Allow to sit for 30+ minutes without opening the cover
After 30 minutes, the corn is done!
The results were good, but the corn could have been cooked just a little more for my liking
Next time, I'll use a smaller cooler or maybe just keep the corn in the hot water for 45 minutes instead of 30 minutes
Possibly add more hot water after 15 minutes..... The corn will not overcook
If the corn came from the fridge or cooler at the store, allow the corn to rest at room temp before you add water. This way, the water temp won't drop so much.
I'll definitely try this again!
Thanks for looking!!

Add Boiling Water to the Cooler
Who's the Fat Bald Guy?
Close the cover and leave it alone for 30 minutes
After 30 minutes, open the cooler and remove from hot water
Finished and plated
