Well, by choice my dinner tonight consisted entirely of 4 ears of sweet corn, picked 10 minutes earlier. More satisfying than a Rib-Eye at a Ruth Chris Steakhouse.
Tormato, I agree with you that 4 to 5 minutes for freshly picked corn is just about right.
Donna, How do you melt cold butter on cold corn?
Lee, It seems to me that 10 minutes might be too long. I bring the water to an initial boil, drop in the corn, then when it re-boils I give it 4 minutes - then on the plate.
Life doesn't get any better.
