Ingredients

  • 4 ears of corn shucked
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the sous vide machine to 182°F.
  • Place corn into a ziplock or a sous vide bag with butter and salt. If you have a vacuum sealer, seal the bag to remove any air. If using a ziplock bag, use the water displacement method and clip the bag to the sides of your container.
  • Lower the bag into the hot water batch and place a heavy pan on top to keep the bag submerged.
  • Cook for 30 minutes at 182°F. Remove corn from the sous vide machine and enjoy!

Notes

  • If the corn floats to the surface, place a heavy pan on top to keep the bag submerged under water. 
  • When buying fresh corn on the cob, pick the ones with tightly wrapped green husks. 
  • After cooking the corn, you can place it on the grill if you like your corn charred. 
  • Don't leave corn in the hot water bath for too long because it can overcook. If this happens, you can use it for a corn sauce or corn chowder.
