How To Cook Cooler Corn

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.

Egg salad is one of those lunches we sometimes forget about until we have a few boiled eggs sitting in the fridge. Then suddenly it sounds like exactly what we want. Creamy filling, decent bread, perhaps a little greenery on the side. Nothing complicated, just a proper lunch.

If you’ve been searching for the Ina Garten egg salad recipe, her Egg Salad Tartines are a lovely place to start. They take a familiar sandwich filling and serve it generously on toasted bread, with fresh herbs giving the finished dish a little lift.

And before the word “tartine” makes you think you need special equipment or a French kitchen, it simply means an open-faced sandwich. We can absolutely manage that.

You’ll find the full ingredient quantities and instructions in Ina Garten’s official Egg Salad Tartines recipe. Here’s what to know before making it, plus easy ways to serve egg salad for lunch, brunch or a small gathering.

What Is in Ina Garten’s Egg Salad?

The version published on the Barefoot Contessa website uses eggs, mayonnaise, sweet relish, whole-grain mustard and fresh dill or chives, with salt and pepper for seasoning.

It’s served on toasted whole-grain bread. The recipe makes six tartines, serving three to six people, depending on appetites and what else you put on the table.

The sweet relish is worth noticing if your usual egg salad is simply eggs and mayonnaise. It brings a different flavor to the filling, while the mustard and herbs help balance the richness.

Does Ina Garten Put Truffle Butter in Egg Salad?

You may also have seen recent articles discussing an Ina Garten egg salad variation with white truffle butter.

That is a different version from the Egg Salad Tartines recipe linked above. The published tartine recipe uses sweet relish and whole-grain mustard and does not list truffle butter.

If you’re following a particular video or recipe, stick with that version’s ingredients. Combining details from several recipes can leave you wondering why your lunch tastes nothing like the one you

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.
