SHIRLEY'S PERFECT STEAMED CORN ON THE COB EVERY TIME!
Are you tired of soggy corn that soaks up all your butter and tastes waterlogged? Well, there is a reason for that :) Here is the way my mom always cooked her corn on the cob, and her corn always tasted fresh and delicious every time... Yours will too! Using a large pan, place a large plate or vegetable steamer in the bottom of your pan after you add the water. Stack the corn vertically with the stems down on the plate/steamer. You should be able to put about 12 ears in to steam doing it this way, if your pan is big enough.

Tips:
- Use fresh corn on the cob: Fresh corn on the cob has the best flavor and texture for steaming. Look for ears with tightly packed kernels and bright green husks.
- Remove the husks and silks: Before steaming, remove the husks and silks from the corn. Use your hands or a corn stripper to remove the husks, and then use a vegetable brush to remove the silks.
- Add water to the cooler: Add about 1 cup of water to the bottom of the cooler. This will help to create steam and prevent the corn from drying out.
- Place the corn on a rack: Place a rack inside the cooler, and then place the corn on the rack. This will allow the steam to circulate around the corn and cook it evenly.
- Cover the cooler and let it steam: Cover the cooler and let the corn steam for 10-12 minutes, or until it is tender. You can check the corn by piercing it with a fork - it should be tender when done.
Conclusion:
Steaming corn on the cob in a cooler is a quick and easy way to cook this summer vegetable. The corn comes out tender and juicy, and it has a delicious, slightly smoky flavor. This method is also great for large gatherings, as you can cook a lot of corn at once. So next time you're looking for a simple and delicious way to cook corn on the cob, give this method a try!
