General - Preparing Corn on the Cob (Sweetcorn)

Remove the papery sheath and the stringy threads then cut off the stem if present. Wash well. They can then be cooked whole, cut widthways into sections or thick slices. Alternatively, the niblets can be removed from the cob with a sharp knife. The easy way to do this is to cut off the stem end so it can be steadied on a work surface, then, starting at the pointed end, cut down to the base as close to the central cob as possible.
