i saw once how to do corn on the cob in a ice chest with boiling water, when cooking in bulk, was ondering if someone mught remember how to do or send me the link please thanks
Randy, One of the first things I do on a feed like this one is to get my
water boiling. I use a camp chef two burner propane unit for this. While the
water is boiling, I'll have my helpers shuck the corn and break them in half
and toss them in to cooler that I have added a pound of butter too. One the
water has reached the boiling point I pour it over the corn and close the
lid. I let the corn soak for at least an hour.
It can sit in there all day, it won't go limp. Do as above, cover it (I don't break them though) and go about yer business and when you get back it'll be wonderful.
Yes I am curious to. And how long do they have to sit before you can eat them.
never mind I found it
Here is what I have:

I've never done them in a ice chest but we always put a large cake rack in the bottom of our 10 gallon pots with about 4 inches of water get it boiling and steam the corn that way. The turkey frier pots are perfect they even have the strainer to put the ear in and pull them out for serving.
Im cooking for our high school band (approx 180 kids), main coarse will be pulled pork, i thought corn on the cob would go good with it, so after an hour do you drain the ice chest before serving,? or drain have way or none at all?
I don't drain the chest until after the corn is served. I feel that it keeps the corn hotter, especially if you have somebody or something holding up the line.
