FAQs and Pro Tips:
Any sweet corn will work, try for a tender white sweet corn sold in local grocery stores. Look for green husks and fresh silks and open them up a bit and be sure they are nice ears of corn.
Look for bright green ears of corn, with fresh husks and silks. Pull back the husks and silks a bit to check that the corn is fresh and well grown. If the corn husk is dried out or turned yellow-brown then pass on that corn.
