Cooking corn on the cob is a simple and delicious summer meal. Here are the basic steps:
- Remove husks and silk from fresh ears of corn.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, add corn and boil for 3-5 minutes, depending on size.
- Remove corn from water and serve with butter, salt, pepper, seasoning salt or your favorite topping.
For extra flavor, you can also wrap the ears of corn in foil before boiling. This helps steam the corn and locks in moisture. You can add seasonings like herbs or spices to the foil packets as well.
For a barbecue method, shuck the corn and brush with oil or butter. Place directly on the grill grates and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until kernels are tender.
Enjoy your freshly cooked corn on the cob hot off the grill or stove. Don't forget to slather on plenty of butter!
