Ingredients

  • 4 ears corn on the cob*

Instructions

  • Remove the husks and silks from the corn.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the corn to the pot and make sure that all of the ears of corn are submerged in the water.
  • Boil for 6-8 minutes, until just tender, stirring occasionally to make sure that all parts of the corn are in the water as it cooks.
  • Remove corn from the water. Serve with butter, salt and pepper, or as desired.

Notes

  • You can cook more or less corn at once, as long as all of the corn is submerged in the water as it cooks.
