Steamed Corn On The Cob

STEAMED CORN ON THE COB

INGREDIENTS:

Fresh or frozen corn on the cob, whole or mini-ears
Water
Sea Salt (to taste)
Butter

Using a medium size steamer pasta pot on high heat, add one quart of water and place corn on the cob in the upper steamer basket and bring to a rolling boil and reduce heat to medium-low and steam for about 10 to 20 minutes until corn is tender. Remove corn from steamer basket and salt to taste and butter to taste.

NOTE: Steamed corn on the cob to me has more of the natural corn flavor than the boiled method which stands to reason; you are boiling all your nutrients out of the corn! The above mini corn on the cob after steaming looks beautimous! See my pots n pans short story about my favorite pots n pans which gives the details of the above multi-purpose pasta pot.

ALTERNATE MICROWAVE CORN ON THE COB

Use fresh corn on the cob in the shuck. Cut butt end of cob off about 2 inches from the end. Place in microwave on high for 3 to 4 minutes depending on the power of your microwave. At the end of cooking time, remove corn from microwave using a glove, etc. Grasp cob of corn by the end with the tassels and invert to vertical position and give it a few good shakes and the corn will leave the shuck without any tassels. Below a couple pixs of the end process:

There are many YouTube videos showing the process which is as simple as it gets. Spread butter on corn while hot and salt to your taste.
