Tips:
- Select the freshest corn on the cob possible. Look for ears with bright green husks and tightly packed kernels.
- Use a large pot or Dutch oven to boil the corn. This will ensure that the corn has plenty of room to cook evenly.
- Add salt and sugar to the boiling water. This will help to enhance the flavor of the corn.
- Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low. This will help to prevent the corn from overcooking and becoming tough.
- Cook the corn for 5-7 minutes, or until the kernels are tender. You can test the doneness of the corn by inserting a sharp knife into a kernel. If the knife goes in easily, the corn is done.
- Remove the corn from the pot and drain it well. You can then serve the corn immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later.
