Description
How Long to Boil Corn on the Cob Recipe – an easy tutorial that teaches you how to boil corn on the stove (+ how long to boil corn) – so easy! The perfect ear of corn is just minutes away.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4–6 ears of sweet corn, shucked*
- water
Instructions
- Fill a large stock pot with water, leaving enough room for whole cobs of corn.
- Bring water to a simmer/light boil.
- Place corn in the pot of water.
- Let boil, uncovered, 4-5 minutes.
- Carefully remove with tongs and place on a plate or tray.
- Let cool slightly then serve with butter and salt.
Notes
- Corn: feel free to use whole cobs of corn or you can cut them in half or even in thirds – it won’t impact how long to boil them. Pro tip: buy the freshest corn you can (hit up those local farm stands or a local farmers market)
- Serving + Leftover Corn: we love making Mexican Street Corn or Mexican Street Corn Salad with our boiled corn (and then maybe making some Mexican Street Corn Burgers or Mexican Street Corn Nachos).
