How to Boil Corn on the Cob (5-Minute Recipe)
Boiled corn on the cob is the perfect summertime side dish - simple, easy to make, and always sweet, juicy, and tender. We love serving corn on the cob for events with wooden skewers.
Ingredients
6 servings
Instructions
- Fill a large pot halfway with water and bring to a boil. Add 1 Tbsp salt and 2 Tbsp of sugar. Add corn to the pot and return to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and boil for 5 minutes.* The corn is done when it is crisp tender, and has changed a shade in color. Turn off the heat and use tongs to carefully remove the corn from the water to a serving platter.
- Butter and season your corn with salt and pepper if desired. It is best to eat it fresh, or let it cool and store in a covered container or large zip-top bag and refrigerate.
