Cooking Corn on the Cob

Two Ways To Delicious Corn On The Cob: Grilled or Boiled

Grilling corn on the cob or making boiled corn on the cob is quick, simple and rewarding. Nothing beats biting into those fresh, juicy, flavorful kernels!

Corn on the cob needs only a generous dab of butter or veggie spread & a sprinkle of salt to be melt-in-your-mouth perfect.

Cooking Tips: The secret to tender, sweet corn on the cob is getting the freshest corn possible. Buy corn on the cob unhusked and husk it yourself. Get it at the farmers market, or a parking lot vendor, or anybody who picked it fresh this morning.

Another secret is, don't overcook your corn on the cob! And don't add salt to the cooking water - that will make your corn tough! Add salt at the table if you want it.

All you need for this recipe are 1 - 2 ears of corn per person, a big wide pot of boiling water or a grill, and plenty of napkins!

Remove husks and silk
Bring a large pot of water to a boil
