Instructions

  • Start by preparing the corn. Remove the husks and silk from each ear of corn, making sure to discard any damaged or discolored kernels.
  • Fill a large pot with enough water to fully submerge the corn. Add a pinch of salt if desired, as it can enhance the flavor of the corn.
  • Place the pot on the stove over high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil.
  • Once the water is boiling, carefully add the prepared ears of corn to the pot. Make sure they are fully submerged.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and let the corn simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the kernels are tender when pierced with a fork. Cooking times may vary depending on the freshness and size of the corn, so keep an eye on it.
  • Once the corn is cooked, carefully remove the ears from the pot using tongs or a slotted spoon. Allow them to drain briefly before serving.
  • Serve the boiled corn on the cob while it's still hot. Place each ear on a plate and add a pat of butter on top. You can also season with additional salt or other spices according to your preference.
  • Enjoy your delicious homemade corn on the cob!
