Tips for Boiling Corn on the Cob
- Choose the right corn: Look for ears with tightly packed kernels and fresh, green husks.
- Prepare the corn: Remove any loose husks and silks from the corn. Leave about an inch of husk at the top of the ear to make it easier to hold.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil: Add enough water to cover the corn by at least 2 inches.
- Add salt to the water: The salt will help to enhance the flavor of the corn.
- Add the corn to the boiling water: Carefully place the corn in the pot and bring the water back to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low: Cover the pot and simmer the corn for 3-5 minutes, or until the kernels are tender.
- Test the corn: Insert a sharp knife into the center of a kernel. If the kernel is soft, the corn is done.
- Drain the corn: Remove the corn from the pot and drain it well.
- Serve the corn: Serve the corn immediately with butter, salt, and pepper. You can also add other toppings, such as sour cream, grated Parmesan cheese, or chili powder.
