Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Corn

    Remove the husks and silk from the corn on the cob. Rinse the ears of corn under cool water to remove any remaining silk. Set aside.

Steaming the Corn

  1. 2

    Set Up Steamer

    In a large pot, add 2 cups of water and bring it to a boil. Place a steamer basket or insert into the pot, making sure the bottom of the basket does not touch the water.

  2. 3

    Steam the Corn

    Once the water is boiling, carefully place the corn on the cob in the steamer basket. Cover the pot with a lid and steam the corn for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the kernels are tender and bright yellow.

Serving

  1. 4

    Season and Serve

    After the corn is finished steaming, remove it from the steamer basket. Allow it to cool slightly before serving. Brush each ear of corn with butter, sprinkle with salt, and add black pepper to taste. Serve hot.
