My husband is the cook in our family, and with summer coming we really enjoy getting corn on the cob from local farms. Today we were out shopping and he told me he needed a “corn pot”. I thought he was kidding. This is the same man who tried to convince me that in order to fix something on the stove that he needed a “stove wrench”.
So began an afternoon of driving around from store to store in search of the elusive “corn pot”.
At one point I told him that I thought he dreamed up the whole thing. Just buy a big pot that the corn will fit in. He insisted that there was a special “corn pot” and nothing else would do.
Yeah sure.
Luckily he stopped at the gas station and appeased me with a frozen coffee drink.
After no less than 5 stores did not have the mythological “corn pot” we headed home, me mocking, and him insisting they make a special pot for making corn on the cob.
So when we got home, he trudged down to his computer and came back with a print-out from Amazon.com with this for sale:
A pot with a picture of corn on it.
Clearly I was mistaken….
**rolls eyes**

Who knew? Not me.
We cook our cobs on the grill. But, we need a big pot to soak the whole cob and shucks and then just place the whole thing on grill. mmmm mmmm good.
That’s really funny, because I would’ve thought the same thing. What makes this pot different from a regular one?
The picture of corn on it LOL. Seriously. It’s just a pot LOL!
Hey…that looks exactly like my “soup pot.” lol
Right!
LMAO a corn pot? I bet if you went to the Farm store they’d have that very same pot. There’s some strange stuff in there.
People will buy anything with a label on it that says it’s meant for a SPECIFIC purpose.
What? Me thinks that is a fancy crock pot. Just sayin. ;)

The only thing that makes this pot different is that they put a picture of corn on it and claim it is different LOL.
Well, how about that . . . I wouldn’t have believed it either.
I still don’t believe it. It’s a regular pot with label on it calling it a corn pot LOL!
Ok that is too funny. How is it different from a big, pasta pot?
Yeah. I don’t think it is. BIG GIMMICK lol
We love corn on the cobb. I might have to get myself a corn pot as well. LOL.
You should get a corn pot. I’ve got a bridge for sale too, hehehe.
LOL we have that ;)
But it’s no different than a regular pot right?
LOL we got our “corn pot” at Garden Fresh Market. Do you have them near you? But you are right they have those pots for deferent things LOL like soup, stew, corn and so on. The only difference in this pot than any other is how it’s made, the material is not like your everyday pots and how big it is LOL I don’t know about one from amazon, but one we got is huge yet very light weight. They have something similar at Walmart too, but no corn on the picture LOL
