moist husks and plump kernels. Avoid dry or brown husks as they indicate older corn.

Fresh and tender corn: 4-6 minutes.

Slightly older corn: 6-8 minutes.

Larger ears of corn: 8-10 minutes.

Preparation: Remove husks and silk, then rinse the corn.

Boiling: Bring a pot of water to boil, add corn (not overcrowding), and simmer.

Cooking: Simmer for the determined time, then carefully remove with tongs.

Elevate Your Corn:

Enhance your corn with these tasty toppings:

Butter and salt: A classic savory option.

Parmesan cheese: Adds a tangy twist.

Chili powder and lime: Offers a zesty kick.

Herb butter: Infuses freshness with herbs like parsley.

With these tips, you’ll boil corn perfectly every time.
