Boiled Corn on the Cob Recipe

  • Place corn in a large soup/stock pot and fill it with enough water to cover the corn.
  • Bring water to a boil and add 2 Tbsp of sugar (1 Tbsp for a smaller pot and 2 for a huge one).
  • Cover, reduce heat to medium and boil 15 minutes. When time is up, sample a few kernels of corn before turning off. “Older” corn may take a few more minutes to cook. Kernels should be crisp-tender.
  • Remove from heat and drain. Butter and pepper your corn if you like. Best to eat it fresh, or wrap it in foil and save it for later.
