Ears of corn should be cooked immediately but can be stored in their
husk in the fridge up to one day. If you need to store corn longer
then one day cook it right away, place in large zip-locs and
refrigerate... can be reheated in simmering water (do not boil).
Ideally corn should be cooked as soon as possible after harvesting, no
more than a few hours... naturally any corn from the stupidmarket is
already way too old, so cook/store however, matters not a whit.
