Craving sweet, juicy corn on the cob? Forget complicated recipes! This foolproof method guarantees perfectly cooked corn every time, no fancy equipment required.
**Here's the secret:** Simply submerge your unhusked corn in a large pot of cold water for at least 30 minutes. This hydrates the kernels and prevents them from drying out during cooking.
Next, bring the pot to a boil and cook for just 5-7 minutes. The kernels should be bright yellow and slightly tender.
Carefully remove the corn from the pot (use tongs!). Let it cool slightly before husking. The silk will practically fall right off!
Finally, slather your corn on the cob with your favorite toppings. Butter, salt, pepper, chili lime seasoning – the possibilities are endless! Enjoy this simple, delicious summer treat!
