Hi Laura, thanks for sharing your method! I love eating corn plain too. It’s so good on its own.

When dinner is ready the corn is hot and perfectly tender. I put nothing on the corn and all I taste is sweet tender corn. sometimes a little sprinkle of salt if menu low sodium. of course the corn must be super fresh! used to butter it, which now realize was loving the butter.

I don’t enjoy killing anything, but when I do, it’s corn. This recipe is where corn goes to die…with honor.

I always considered myself a pro at boiling corn, but oh my goodness, this is the best corn I’ve ever made! I did add some sugar and I was completely amazed! For my topping I did a stick of butter, a teaspoon of hot taco seasoning a tablespoon of mayonnaise and fresh finely pulsed parmesan. Seriously I can’t stop eating this! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Easiest way: Remove almost all husks, or, if already naked, wrap with a wet paper towel. Microwave 2-3 minutes per ear. Cool some, remove husks or paper towels, butter them up, add salt and enjoy. Easy, peasy. and delicious! Ten stars.

3-5 minutes?! It’s taking at least 35+ minutes for mine to even remotely soften in boiling water. 🙁
