- Using the vacuum sealer, make sure that the corn is completely sealed and that any excess air has been removed from the bag.
- When the target temperature is reached, carefully place the sealed corn in the water bath making sure that it is completely submerged in the water.
- Cook until ready.
- Once the corn has finished cooking, carefully remove it from the water bath.
- After carefully removing the corn from the bag, lightly coat each piece with mayonnaise before rolling in the grated parmesan. We like to finish each piece of corn with a light seasoning of chili powder and a queeze of fresh lime juice. Enjoy!Sweet pepper powder, 1 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated, 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
