Cooler Corn

What the heck is Cooler Corn?
 
Have you heard of it?
 
We had burgers and Cooler Corn for dinner last night on the back porch.
 
 
We were introduced to Cooler Corn this Spring when our
Son and DIL had their housewarming party.
Our DIL's father said that he was bringing Cooler Corn.
 
WHAT??
 
This is such a cool idea to take to a party,
or to do while camping.
 
We stopped by our local fruit & vegetable stand and picked up
some sweet corn and fresh picked tomatoes.
 
We made our Cooler Corn on the back porch,
but this could easily be made indoors.
 
Here's how you can make Cooler Corn.
 
Boil a large pot of water, or two, depending on how many
ears of corn you want to cook.
 
While you are waiting for the water to boil,
shuck your corn and remove the silk (hair), set aside.
 
Grab your cooler and give it a good cleaning inside.
You want to make sure that it is nice and clean.
 
 
Place your ears of corn on the bottom of your cooler.
Because it was just Hubby & I for dinner I only made 6 ears of corn.
You could easily cook a few dozen ears at one time if you are feeding
a large crowd.  Fill that cooler up!
 
I like to add a little bit of sugar to our corn.
Sprinkle the sugar on top of the corn.
 

Carefully pour your boiling water over your corn,
making sure that the corn is completely immersed.
 

Close down the lid tightly.
DO NOT OPEN THE LID FOR 30 MINUTES!
Cooking time will vary depending on how many ears of corn you are making.
We cooked our corn for 30 minutes for 6 ears and it was done perfectly.

If you are planning to take this to a family gathering,
picnic, barbeque, tailgate party, or wherever, leave
the lid closed and pull the plug on the side of the cooler
to drain the water out.  This will make it easier to
carry and transport.  Your cooler corn will stay
the perfect temperature and doneness for up to 2 hours.

Give Cooler Corn a try and I guarantee you will love
the way this cooks and tastes!

We will be cooking our corn on the cob this way from now on.

 
Until Next Time,
Veronica
