Steps:

- You should have about 5 cups of kernels.
- Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over medium low.
- Add the corn, salt and pepper and sauté uncovered for 8 to 10 minutes stirring occasionally until the starchiness is gone.
Tips:
- Choose the right corn: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh corn on the cob. If you're using frozen corn, thaw it before cooking.
- Use a variety of colors: Colorful corn adds visual appeal to your dish. Try using a mix of yellow, white, and purple corn.
- Cook the corn properly: Overcooked corn will be tough and chewy. Cook it just until it is tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add your favorite seasonings: Salt, pepper, and butter are classic seasonings for corn. You can also try adding garlic, chili powder, or cumin.
- Serve immediately: Corn is best served fresh out of the pan. If you need to make it ahead of time, reheat it gently before serving.
