It only takes 4 minutes in boiling water so it's not that much harder than frozen. You just have to shuck and wash it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-back-corn-on-the-cob-at-the-market#post-282749 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 11:03:37 +0000 BSB 282749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom would peel back corn to check it but she would never shuck it while in the store. I didn't realize people did until I saw a trash can right next to the corn at my local store. I have shucked it once while I was at the store but only because they had a trash can there.</p> <p>Corn I don't mind waiting til I get home to shuck because I don't usually pay per pound. I do peel back to make its not bad. I have seen stores that have trash cans near cabbage so you can peel away the outside layers. That's a good idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-back-corn-on-the-cob-at-the-market#post-282736 Wed, 05 Sep 2012 10:57:58 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 282736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@googly-eyes: I know! I buy it already cut into mini sizes and I boil it:/ my bad. I hardly eat corn though at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-back-corn-on-the-cob-at-the-market#post-280079 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 21:19:52 +0000 googly-eyes 280079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok I am even worse than not peeling it back...I buy frozen corn! At least it's not canned! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-back-corn-on-the-cob-at-the-market#post-279980 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 18:45:00 +0000 BananaPancakes 279980@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I typically do. I hate getting bad corn, or worse, wormy corn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-back-corn-on-the-cob-at-the-market#post-279964 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 18:19:26 +0000 KT326 279964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually just peel the tops back a little bit to make sure the kernels are nice and plump. But we leave the husk on since we don't always cook it the same day we buy it. Or we are going to grill it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-back-corn-on-the-cob-at-the-market#post-279962 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 18:17:39 +0000 autumnlove 279962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, the stores I go to always have trash cans near the corn! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-back-corn-on-the-cob-at-the-market#post-279950 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 18:04:20 +0000 hilsy85 279950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: Ah well you can't peel it back before you order it I guess :) And I'm sure they check the corn before they send it out. But anything I buy in the store, I always check. There are bugs sometimes, or the kernels at the top are all dried out. I don't shuck the whole way, I just feel back the top third. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-back-corn-on-the-cob-at-the-market#post-279944 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 17:53:27 +0000 Mrs. Pen 279944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't know you could!! I bought some at the farmers market and two had bugs, and I had to cut pieces off the other two!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-back-corn-on-the-cob-at-the-market#post-279939 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 17:49:02 +0000 MamaMoose 279939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always!!!

I bought corn today at publix and briefly debated shucking at the store but decided I was too tired:) I've never done it there but it seems like everyone else does!</p> <p>I just did mine at home;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-back-corn-on-the-cob-at-the-market#post-279934 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 17:46:42 +0000 Andrea 279934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: It's always been fine! I also order it from Fresh Direct a lot and I've never had a problem. They don't peel it first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-back-corn-on-the-cob-at-the-market#post-279933 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 17:45:34 +0000 oahujeni 279933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-back-corn-on-the-cob-at-the-market#post-279931 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 17:44:07 +0000 hilsy85 279931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! how else do you know if it's good? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-peel-back-corn-on-the-cob-at-the-market#post-279926 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 17:38:22 +0000 chopsuey 279926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually do.<br /> The last time I didn't, I ended up throwing away 2 because they were all dried up!
