I’m actually not surprised Chef John is part of the Illuminati. Great recipes John!
The silk hack is incredible
Chef John's voice and humor soothes my troubled spirit.
Anyone else have their favorite local farm where they get the best corn possible, and you are so excited for this vid?

The scallop dish was utterly gorgeous!
I'll give the Mexican grilled corn 100 thumbs up. I made it last night and it was fantastic. Instead of boiling I microwaved it 3 minutes for 2 cobs unshucked. I then shucked the corn, oiled it and roasted it with pecan wood and charcoal until medium charred/toasted. I would suggest one addition to the mayo/chile sauce... about 1/4 chopped cilantro. It was DAMN good...

I just really enjoy your channel. You have such a wonderful sense of humor and outlook! You make some really good looking recipes that appear to be fussy but in a very simple, elegant way. I appreciate you!
That 2nd recipe for the Mexican (street style) corn is FANTASTIC. We make it all the time! All great ideas! Thanks, Chef!
I made cornmeal pancakes the other night to go with red beans and rice. My son told me mom this needs to be on the cook more often menu. It was a last minute addition to dinner, otherwise I would have made a pan of cornbread. Looks like pancakes tastes like cornbread and that's a win/win situation.
Corn on the cob is delicious with some butter and Chesapeake crab seasoning. YUM!!
Another great compilation! Thanks again, CJ CO's. Appreciate you!
I really don't want to try a scallop again but I'm extremely confident in you chef John. This recipe might change my life. Ty
John you crack me up. Thank you so much.
Corn silk has anti-inflammatory properties and can be made into a Tea to help with swollen joints and painful inflammation from arthritis and other dibilatating conditions of that nature.
I live in Mexico City and I 100% approve! The couple of shortcuts you take get similar flavor the the street version, and a lot easier. Fantastic!
I love watching these videos. FYI, if you have a bundt pan, that works as well when you strip the cob.

Good tip! Everyone lend May an ear! (Aw, shucks, was that too corny?)
I'm definitely going to try that Mexican corn recipe, the next time I barbeque, and the Bacorn, because my son loves bacon, and I love cheese and cream! Thanks! 👍💙💚💛🧡❤️💜🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽✌️
so @1:48. the silk does not run all the way to the base of the cob. Each kernel has it's own silk, so they are all different lengths. Cutting the base of the cob off works because you're tightly gripping the tassel at the top, and pulling all the silk and all the husk away at once.
Perfecto indeed, Chef! I have this corn all the time but the addition of smoked paprika... next level! Que rico! Gracias! Please keep building your Spanish word repertoire!
Oh man, I never knew how much I'd missed corn.
Corn cross-pollinates with everything, including grass, which corn is. The weird kernels are caused by that. It's a hybrid.
You're so fun. I love your good natured mean jokes.
IMO Long Island NY corn 🌽 is the best. The salt in the air and great weatherakes it great !!
I feel so relaxed watching chef Johns videos
I love all of these recipes. I really love corn
(For all in tents, and porpoises)- that corny tip to foil corn silk is brilliant!
Great tip for getting the silk off easily. Thanks!
Made the fritters - 10 out of 10 - would make again
Wow. Thanks for the recipes, you da man Chef John!!!
I'm going to try the corn and crab 🦀 soup!!
Can you make a zucchini episode? My zucchini garden is growing like bunnies!!!!! Ya summer fresh veggies 🥗😁
Looks fantastic
The credo and Greek look great❤️
Hi shef John from New Hampshire! Thank you very much for your wonderful recipes. My family and I will go to camping vacation in Maine in August. Your video came in perfect time. Im going to make a Ba corn and corn fritter. Once again, thank you very much for sharing your wonderful experience cook!
The bak corn looks delicious! It looks like a great pot luck dish!
Dungeness Crab? You just stole my heart connected to my stomach😉
I just bought some fresh corn yesterday, gotta try recipe #2.
Great Video, Thanks!
hi Chef John! We made the Seared Scallops on Fresh Corn Cream today after picking up first of the season Butter & sugar corn from the Syracuse Regional market as supplied by a favorite farmer located in Bville on Route 370. thanks for all you do for our eating enjoyment! we're adding to our standards!!! 🙂
I was addicted when I saw your polenta lasagna recipe and this was all great, as always. As a native American, corns everything. Would to have seen some blue or red corn but thanks again chef. Par excellance!
Chef John, you should try Gochugaru, Korean red pepper flakes.
laughing out loud.... as always. ENjoyyyed. 🥰
Nothing beat fresh corn on the cob without the husk of course. Just eat as is. It's sweet with all the milk and none of the nutrients have not been compromised. It's so good and much better for the body this way. Love your channel.
A very best corn recipes thank you 👍😋😋😋😋💕🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you so much!😘
I love garam masala. Thank you for these recipe ideas! Looking forward to trying the Ba'corn with my son and I think I'm going to have to "suck up" having to eat the chowder all by myself. Neither of my kids are crab fans. But both love Indian/garam masala so I think I've found a yummy new side for bbq season. :) Cheers!
When sweet corn is grown too close to plain field corn, cross pollination occurs, resulting in darker kernels appearing. It's fine to eat, but do not eat the field corn by the cob, it's tough to bite off the cob, and relatively tasteless. This corn is grown for animal feeds. An easy way to tell the difference between field corn and sweet corn, go by the color of the tassels at the top of the plant. Field corn will have red colored tassels and sweet corn will have white colored tassels.

@@lisapop5219 that I'm not sure. Makes sense to me though because field corn is a tougher kernel, and would be able to withstand the drying and grinding process because it doesn't contain the amount of sugar that sweet corn does.

Chef John, I love corn but have been using tinned corn for years following a disasterous struggle with a fresh cob. Your demo, with a fresh corn cob, was a revelation - almost a mystical, out of body, experience! Why didn't I think of that, I thought? The answer came as if from a voice from heaven: ' you (meaning me) are not a genius, like Chef John! '
I would compare Cotija cheese as a Mexican version of Parmesan Cheese but milder.
I love watching your videos even though I don’t do meat most dairy or ovo-not really vegan cause I can’t really satisfactorily sub queso fresco or lobster 🤣. But, I’m constantly looking for cream subs, aside from milk subs, and I’m so gonna try corn cream 👍🏻. Thx!!!!’
This would also be good with adding potatoes to this as well
Not a zucchini/squash fan, so used a leek. Turned out great, as well!!!
It was worth watching the whole hour for the silk removal trick he showed in the beginning 👍
Love everything so far but I've never liked scallops even though my dad was an excellent chef. Them and calamari are the only seafood i wont eat but Making sure they're dry and seared. 🤔 I believe you as always chef John, especially when you pair it with beer. I'll try this 🤙
Yum 😋
Even though we can't see your family, I can feel that they are proud of you in every way, I really watch everything you do with admiration, I hope I can find the strength to do these things. ♥️♥️♥️

cutting corn kernels works well in an angel food pan
WOW !
Better to cut the cob in half lengthwise, but half way through, then fold and pull the kernels off in clumps. A spoon works here, too.
We microwave the corn also but cut the end off first and run a little water in it first.
Love your channel! can you share the brand of flatware you show in your videos? Its so pretty. Thanks!

Well John, the question on the kernel colors is apparently this. I am not a farmer, but my mate is an evolutionary biologist and has interesting info on that. Each kernel is a separate entity, originally from a tiny flower produced by the "mother". As such mom can contribute different genetics to each flower. Also as they are all individual flowers, they can all be fertilized by different "fathers" pollen, which will obviously vary somewhat. After those common genetics are factored, there is also stuff going on inside the DNA. Transposons, aka 'jumping genes' can unattach from one part of the DNA strand and reattach somewhere else, which either changes the gene altogether, or interferes with some of its normal abilities. In this case (as in my mates PhD thesis, Dr Caitlin Coberly) the interference is with color. DNA chugs along, gets to the instructions for its base color and runs into a variation. If you are interested, the Nobel Laureate who discovered this is Barbara McClintock, and it is on this that all genetic engineering is based.

46:48 Corn Pudding,,,the maximum flavor is perceived between warm and hot. I get that.
I made bacorn after seeing the recipe in another recent Chef John video, and I have to say, it wasn’t as good as I had hoped. And I made it exactly the way he did. Doesn’t happen to me much when trying Chef John’s recipes.

Love this! Just one question about the corn cream. Could you do a corn and veggie stock on this? Not a vegetarian or anything. I just wondered if you could get extra flavor from using the leftover corn cobs in a stock? But huge fan of your content. Really the best!

Corn cob stock would definitely be awesome for that
Where I live in the Pacific NW, prices for crab and scallops have gone through the roof. I used to eat Dungeness crab a lot, but at $17+ per pound, unshelled, so that's mostly shell, and scallops nearly $40 a pound, they're not on the menu any more. Too bad because the corn and seafood recipes sound amazing.
Add pepper jack to the corn casserole to bump it up a notch!
Your corn usually develops those brown kernels when your corn has been stored for any length of time.
Would xanthum gum thicken the batter and make frying abit easier?
Can I use canned corn for this quick creamed curried corn?
If you have a bundt cake pan it works great for cutting corn off of the cob. Bonus: only 1 dish to wash.
I have an answer to your corn kernel question. As I learned about corn gardening I found out how not to grow corn. You do not mix corn species together because each kernel is a separate seed that gets individually pollinated and in order to assure the whole corn cob is one breed you must plant either only one kind at a time or plant different species very far from each other. The reason one kernel is a different color is because it was pollinated by another species by accident. So plant only one breed at a time if you area home gardener or plant far apart or possibly plant one type and then plant another several weeks later, but this way isn’t a guarantee.
When I had to shuck corn when I was young I wish I had a microwave. My mom canned corn & those silks are hard to remove.
Those kernels are from the original DNA of the corn. Tons of cross breeding of the corn, but every so often the original DNA will come through
The orange kernels are cross polinated with field corn

All chowder is soup, but not all soup is chowder. Chowders are thick and hearty soups and use milk or cream, thickened with something like roux.

47:55 Can you make this sweet? Like a dessert?

the real problem with corn on the cob is that most people don't just wander onto their encroaching on their property and take the ripe corn from it.
cavatelli means carved or hollowed
You tell them microwave maker, I have never used those buttons either!
I tried the microwave technique and I will never boil corn on the cob again! Like it with no butter or salt. Just sweet goodness!
Oh Thank You I let the corn cool until I can cut it off the cob and take any juice from the cob into a small skillet in butter with a tiny bit of olive oil add any spices heat ENJOY Thank You Many Blessings 😊👍🙏
My brain is trying to come up with something to do with the corn bits left after straining the corn. Any ideas? All I could think of was some kind of fried corn mush or hushpuppy.
