Helpful Tips for Cooking With Corn

• Both fresh and frozen corn work well in almost every recipe here, so you can enjoy them any time of year.
• Char your corn for extra flavor. Using a hot grill or skillet brings out a smoky sweetness you won't get from boiling, which is especially great for elote or corn salads.
• Don't throw away the cobs. After you cut the kernels off, simmer the cobs in milk or cream (like in the corn ice cream recipe) to add even more corn flavor to your dish.
