Thanks for the agbado recipe. Tinubu urchins really need this. With this they can stop eating raw agbado. Next is to wait for the cassava recipe.

For your corn to cook soft and faster, add salt after it is cooked.

Once you add salt at the beginning, it will take longer time to cook and it will still be hard...
hmmm

Leave about 2-3 layers of leaves and trim off the tip. It gives it better taste.

out of experience put the salt only when the corn is done. if you put the salt from the beginning, it will toughen the corn and make it hard to soften

If it is cooked already, what's the point of adding the salt?

Re: Boiling Corn On The Cob: Best Way To Boil Corn On Cob by wonder233: 1:50pm On Jul 25, 2022
I disagree with this video.
Firstly, when peeling off the corn, don't remove all its covering.. Boil it with at least the last two layers, that way, it locks in and maximises the freshness.

Secondly, corn has no business with salt.
The practice of boiling with salt or dipping in salted water is a poor hack by those desperate to recreate the unique taste of fresh corn which is lost when the corn is more than 24hrs old.

It was when I moved to lagos, I saw people eating tasteless stale salted corn.
In Benin and most other cities, even corn vendors know they can't sell boiled corn that is more than a day old

DON'T PUT SALT IF YOU WANT THE CORN TO BOIL ON TIME. I speak from practical experience.
