Cooler corn?

[Michelle]

My MIL forwarded this to me.

Has anyone tried it? I am having a big get together BBQ next weekend for the kids high school graduation, and this sounds like a great way to do corn on the cob if it will actually work. I don't want it to be a "fail" when I have 30 guests over to eat though, so any input would be appreciated!

=========

Cooler corn: I was hepped to it while visiting my family in Maine. Short story: We like corn on the cob. And with eight adults at the table, that means a couple of dozen ears. We would have used the lobster pot to cook them all, but the lobster pot was busy steaming lobster.

Then my sister, a capable Maine cook with years of camping experience, says "let's do cooler corn!" Before I can ask "what the hell is cooler corn?" a Coleman cooler appears from the garage, is wiped clean, then filled with the shucked ears. Next, two kettles-full of boiling water are poured over the corn and the top closed.

Then nothing.

When we sat down to dinner 30 minutes later and opened it, the corn was perfectly cooked. My mind was blown. And I'm told that the corn will remain at the perfect level of doneness for a couple of hours.
