This sounds good mama!

When cooking corn-on-the-cob in a pot of water, many years ago this old German cook I worked with (Hilde) taught me to always add milk to the water (about 1 cup of milk per gallon of water) to keep the corn bright yellow and prevent from turning pale in a chaffing-dish for brunches and buffets. Low and behold- it works!
