Question # 1 Corn on the Cob
Ive boiled corn probably 100's of times over the years, but never quite thought about it. So my question is, can corn on the cob be boiled for too long, and if so , what is the window of time from just enough to too much ?
I probably boil it for about 10 minutes + / - , I never really thought about it, and Ive never had much of an issue. I did recently see something where they said to toss the corn in the water, bring to a boil, once bois cover and turn it off and let it stand for 10 minutes. I think I tried that and it worked well also.
Question #2 Hominy
Im planning on tossing hominy ( out of the can) into my chili. My question is, is hominy something that can be added at the beginning and cook throughout the process, or will it break down too much over time, therefore, only to add the last 10 15 minutes ( or whatever). ?
