I still haven’t tried it yet, but I might try a smaller version for Labor Day Weekend. Corn that you cook in the cooler!
Apparently, it is well known in the camping community and the writer found out about it from his sister in Maine. I live in Maine and hadn’t heard of this till Pinterest. I apparently need to get out more.
Not much for a recipe, but here is the article from Bon Appetit. Take a clean cooler, put in corn and fill with boiling water. Let sit for 20 – 30 mins and you have perfect corn on the cob. It will last for 2 hours. Works great for big crowds at barbeques.
I think I will head out and buy a cooler for corn this weekend.

Wouldn’t the plastic inside the cooler melt, or leech chemicals into the corn?
I was at an event this summer where this was served. I tasted the corn, which was first-rate fresh from the field, and thought I could taste plastic. The hostess said she was using an old cooler in case the water melted the plastic. I am not sure whether the plastic leached into the corn or not, but I AM sure that if I try serving this, I will fit a large kettle or pans into the cooler and pour the water in them with the corn, and pour more water outside the kettles. I know lots of people dont worry about plastic in food, and it does concern me, but aside from that, this method rocks as a way to serve corn to a crowd.
Great idea of putting pans into the cooler.
