Corn On The Cob?

Question

by ne chance do u kno how may calories are in an average sized corn on the cob without salt and butter?

Answer 1

Corn on the cob is a plant. You can eat as much fruit and veg as you like without gaining weight. Add the butter and salt for flavor - no need to suffer. Enjoy.

Answer 2

Just before cooking, husk the corn, pull off the silky threads, and cut out any blemishes with a pointed knife. Drop the corn into a large pot filled with boiling salted water. Cover the pot and let the water return to a boil again, then turn off the heat and keep the pot covered. After about 5 minutes, remove enough ears for a first serving. You can keep the remaining corn warm in the water for another 10 minutes without its becoming tough. Serve with lots of butter and salt.

Answer 3

My favorite way to cook corn on the cob is to lightly sugar the water in the pot once it starts boiling and then add the ears of corn. Cover and let it boil for 20 to 25 minutes. Take them out closer to 20 minutes if you prefer them crunchier. Then stick them in the freezer for about 5 to 10 minutes. I like boiling them in the sugar water because then it seems as though you don't need to add nearly as much butter or salt because the corn tastes that much sweeter.

For an average sized ear of corn, there are approximately 80 calories. If you decide to cook them in sugar water, expect that number to rise slightly.

Answer 4

For the lovely fresh sweet corn of the summer, boil it in UNSALTED water for about five minutes. It's mostly sugar, and just needs heating up, not cooking. Salt in the water will dry it out, so skip it until it's time to eat.

For the starchy corn of the rest of the year, a good 15 minute boil is needed. You need to actually cook the starch, same as a potato, rice, or pasta.

(How do you tell the difference?) Taste a kernal or two of the raw corn. If it's sweet and juicy, great. If it tastes more heavy, starchy, like an unripe banana, then it will need the longer cooking time. Summer corn will look more translucent and be juicier inside.

Answer 5

Corn off the cob.

Answer 6

63-73 calories for a regular size corn on the cob.

Cook about 10-15 minutes depending on how you like your corn.

Answer 7

Boil in salted water for about 15 min. After that you can pierce with a fork, if it comes out easily then it's ready. I'm not sure about the calories but I know it's not a lot.

Answer 8

about 12 to 15 minutes in boiling water. How I know it's ready is by poking a fork into the corn to see if their tender.
