How to Boil Corn on the Cob
There’s nothing quite like the sweet, buttery flavor of perfectly boiled corn on the cob, ready in just 15 minutes. This simple yet satisfying dish brings out the natural juiciness and tender crunch of fresh corn, making it a summer staple or a quick side for any meal.
Ingredients
- 4 to 8 ears fresh sweet corn, husks and silks removed
- Butter or compound butter, for serving
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the corn. Cook, stirring occasionally to make sure the corn is submerged, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the corn is tender and bright yellow.
- Alternatively, place the corn in a large pot filled with cold water. Bring it to a boil and cook 1 to 2 minutes, until the corn is just tender.
- Drain and serve warm with butter, salt, and pepper.
