Butter Poached Corn

[Chief Longwind Of The North]

This idea just hit me today. We all love fresh, sweet corn on the cob with butter and salt. Years back, KFC sold corn that was heated in a plastic packet, swimming in butte. The corn was always overcooked, but the flavor was very good. I'm thinking that if making just a couple of ears, a stick of butter could be melted, and the corn on the cob poached in the butter. Has anyone ever poached corn in butter? Let me know what you think.

I haven't done exactly that. What I have done is put frozen corn kernels in a ramekin and nuked them with butter. That works really well and tastes good.

I've cut the corn off the cob and heated it gently in butter with a little sugar, S&P.

The starchy milk from the corn mixes with the butter and makes a light sauce similar to creamed corn.

It's a great breakfast side or could even be used to make a country-style version of Eggs Benedict.

There's a This Old Gal pressure cooker/Instant Pot recipe for corn on the cob.

4 Ears Corn on the Cob fresh or frozen
1/2 cup Water
1 cup Heavy Cream or Half & Half, Milk
1 Tablespoon White Sugar
1/4 cup Butter
1 teaspoon Sea Salt


Only cooks 1 - 2 minutes. I haven't tried it yet.

Chief, have you tried doing corn on the cob in your Sous Vide? It is amazing! Corn and butter (& aromatics, if you like) in a bag and then in the Sous Vide!

Here's a link (but it is on the Anova app too): https://recipes.anovaculinary.com/recipe/sous-vide-corn

If you can find it, try the white corn! It doesn't seem to go all mushy, stays crisp...if you like that.
