How to choose the best corn?

Here’s how to choose the ideal corn for air frying.

• Check out the silks, the long, hair-like threads that extend from the top, first. They should be torn and brown, indicating that the corn hasn’t dried up and still contains moisture. Don’t buy corn with dark brown or black silk, as they suggest it is too old.
• The husks, which resemble green leaves and wrap around the corn, should be vibrant green and clean of numerous brown stains or tiny holes at the tips. These little holes indicate that the corn most likely contains worms. The corn should be tightly wrapped in the husks, which should cling to it. The corn is fresh and an excellent choice if the husks are moist.
• Beginning at the bottom, gently squeeze the corn as you move up the cob. The individual kernels of corn should feel full, and the ear of corn should feel firm. Pass on the ear of corn if it has mushy patches or gaps where kernels are missing.

Tips & tricks for the best air fryer corn on the cob

Air fryer corn has a flavor that you must experience! Additionally, you can use frozen or fresh corn. Here is some advice to prepare successful air-fried corn on the cob:

• When air frying corn, it’s crucial to remember that every air fryer cooks food slightly differently. To avoid burning your corn, make sure that you check it halfway through.
• To drizzle oil on corn, use a spoon; alternatively, use a non-aerosol oil spray. You risk damaging your air fryer basket by using a cooking spray with an accelerant.
• Make sure there is space between the cobs for air to flow, and avoid stacking to ensure that your corn bakes perfectly.
• You might need to chop your corn ears to fit them into your basket. If necessary, cut them in half and fry them in groups.
• Air fry frozen corn on the cob: You can use this technique with frozen corn. Either defrost it first or cook it straight from frozen by adding a few more minutes.
