Method

Preparing the Corn

  1. 1

    Select Fresh Corn

    Choose fresh, green corn husks that are tightly wrapped around the corn. The kernels should be plump and milky when you pierce them.

  2. 2

    Shuck the Corn

    Remove the husks and silk from each ear of corn. Rinse them under cool water to ensure they are clean.

Cooking the Corn

  1. 3

    Boil Water

    In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil over high heat.

  2. 4

    Cook the Corn

    Once the water is boiling, carefully add the shucked corn to the pot. Cover the pot and cook for 4-6 minutes, or until the corn is tender.

  3. 5

    Drain the Corn

    Using tongs, remove the corn from the pot and place it in a colander to drain excess water.

Serving the Corn

  1. 6

    Add Toppings

    Serve the corn hot, adding butter, salt, paprika, and Parmesan cheese as desired.

  2. 7
