Best 4 Jeannes Cooler Corn Recipes

COOLER CORN

Steps:

• Husk and clean all the corn. Place in the bottom of a squeaky-clean large insulated picnic cooler.
• Pour the boiling water over the corn (2 quarts of boiling water per dozen ears of corn). Close the lid and let set for 30 minutes.
• Drain the water out from the plug and keep the lid closed.
• This will keep the corn warm for about 2 hours.

FRESH CORN CHOWDER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Roast whole ears of corn directly on the rack of the preheated oven until kernels feel tender when pressed, about 25 minutes. Cool briefly, then peel back the husks and cut the kernels off the cobs.
• While the corn is roasting, dice 1/2 the bacon slices. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and saute bacon until evenly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and reserve 1 tablespoon of the fat.
• Add onion and garlic to the pan; saute until transparent, but not brown, about 5 minutes. Add roasted corn kernels, chicken stock, and potatoes; bring to a simmer.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Whisk in flour and stir until the mixture becomes smooth and light golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Let cool.
• Add the cooled flour mixture to the simmering stock, mixing with a whisk. Simmer, stirring often to keep from sticking to the bottom of the pan, until potatoes are tender, 30 to 40 minutes. Add cream and cooked chicken; simmer for 10 minutes.
• Season chowder with salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Ladle into bowls and top with bacon.

JAMIE'S SWEET AND EASY CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Fill a large pot about 3/4 full of water and bring to a boil. Stir in sugar and lemon juice, dissolving the sugar. Gently place ears of corn into boiling water, cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let the corn cook in the hot water until tender, about 10 minutes.

COOLER-STEAMED CORN

Steps:

• Combine salt and 3 quarts water in a large pot; stir until salt is dissolved. Add corn; let sit at room temperature at least 2 hours, or cover and chill up to 12 hours.
• Prepare a grill for high heat. Drain corn and grill until husks are lightly charred all over, about 15 minutes. Wrap in a clean towel and place in a cooler. Let steam at least 15 minutes and up to 3 hours.
