Most would agree that enjoying a piece of juicy buttery corn on the cob is truly one of life\u2019s simplest pleasures, especially during the summer at its sweetest.<\/p>\n I realize this is a very simple way to cook corn, but in case you\u2019re wondering, here\u2019s how to do it! There are so many ways to prepare corn, whether it\u2019s in the microwave<\/a>, using the Instant Pot<\/a>, air fryer<\/a>, grilling<\/a>, roasting, or boiling corn on the cob on the stove for the most fail-proof classic method that I remember my mom and grandma doing as a kid.<\/p>\n This method will result in corn that is tender and sweet, and not at all mushy or soggy!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n yield: 4 SERVINGS<\/span><\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\tprep time: 15 MINUTES<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\tcook time: 11 MINUTES<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\ttotal time: 26 MINUTES<\/span>\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n Boiling corn is a cinch, and the result is a simple yet delicious side dish all will love.<\/i><\/p>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n Fill a large pot about 3\/4 full of water on the stove.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n Heat the water to boiling.
