SHIRLEY'S PERFECT STEAMED CORN ON THE COB EVERY TIME!
Are you tired of soggy corn that soaks up all your butter and tastes waterlogged? Well, there is a reason for that :) Here is the way my mom always cooked her corn on the cob, and her corn always tasted fresh and delicious every time... Yours will too! Using a large pan, place a large plate or vegetable steamer in the bottom of your pan after you add the water. Stack the corn vertically with the stems down on the plate/steamer. You should be able to put about 12 ears in to steam doing it this way, if your pan is big enough.

Steps:
- Husk corn. Set aside.
- Put 2" of water in the bottom of a lg. pot big enough to hold all your corn. Add salt to water.
- Place large plate or steamer in bottom of pan.
- Put corn into the pan, whole or cut in half, and stack vertically (up and down) with the stems at the bottom.
- Put the cover on, and bring water to a boil.
- Once water comes to a boil, steam the corn for 15 minutes, keeping cover on.
- Keep an eye on the water, and if it starts to boil out, add more to keep at around 2" so water doesn't evaporate.
- Remove corn from pot with tongs, and put on a serving plate.
- Cover with aluminum foil, until ready to eat.
- Serve with lots of butter and sprinkle with salt, to taste.
