This is the best Cooking Corn recipe on the web!!
Tender fresh corn is best when cooked and eaten as soon after picking as possible. Keep the unhusked ears in the refrigerator until just before cooking. Fill a large kettle with enough water to cover the corn. Do not add salt as it toughens corn during cooking. Instead, use a teaspoon or two of sugar to enhance the natural sweetness of the corn. Drop the cleaned ears into the boiling water; cover and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Long cooking also toughens tender corn. Drain and wrap in a linen napkin to serve. If a recipe calls for cooked corn, cool the cooked ears and cut off the kernels lengthwise with a sharp knife.
