Upon taking your first bite, you will notice the creamy taste due to the milk and butter. Feel free to shave the kernels off of the cob. I typically choose to keep mine on the cob. I love sinking my teeth into it and getting a big bite. If you choose to leave your corn on the cob, just be sure to let it cool down first. If not, you might risk burning yourself! That’s no fun, is it? Surely, you want to be able to still taste and enjoy this yummy food to the fullest. So, let it cool!

I use this recipe, except I boil the corn in a skillet using a minimum of water (it doesn’t have to cover corn). Gently boil the corn for about two minutes, cover and set aside while you prepare the rest of the meal. Within reason (5-20 mins) it doesn’t matter how long it “rests”, the corn will be perfect every time… tender, with a satisfying crunch when you bite into it, and sweet. If you want it served “hot”, just bring it to a boil again, but don’t cook it any longer. It never gets overcooked or soggy. I’ve been cooking it this way for many years and it’s never failed. (It’s so simple and foolproof you may doubt it could work, but It does… I promise!)
Sounds delicious can’t wait to try it
Boiled corn? Far far from the best corn on the cob. Boiled corn can’t compete with grilled corn. Whoever wrote this little recipe has no idea what great corn tastes like.
Not even close to being good.
