Corn On The Cob (1) Recipe

Instructions for Boiling Corn

1. 1

   Prepare the Corn

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

2. 2

   Boil Water

   In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil. Make sure the pot is big enough to hold all the corn comfortably.

3. 3

   Add Salt

   Once the water is boiling, add 1 tablespoon of salt to the water. This will enhance the flavor of the corn.

4. 4

   Cook the Corn

   Carefully add the cleaned corn to the boiling water. Cover the pot and let the corn boil for about 5-7 minutes, or until the kernels are tender.

5. 5

   Check for Doneness

   After 5 minutes, check the corn for doneness. The kernels should be plump and tender. If necessary, boil for an additional minute.

6. 6

   Drain and Serve

   Using tongs, carefully remove the corn from the pot and let it drain for a moment. Serve hot with butter and black pepper to taste.
