Shirley's Perfect Steamed Corn on the Cob Every Time! image

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.
