Bring a pot of water to boil. Add sugar and salt to taste. Drop in fresh cobs of shucked corn. Cover pot and bring the water back to a boil. Remove from heat drain immediately. Eat and enjoy! The secret is to NOT OVERCOOK IT! My method is similar to #13’s.

One thought. My mother-in-law taught me to boil corn the way her mother taught her, and it is so quick and has never failed. Are you ready? It's very complicated. Put shucked corn in pot, cover with cold water, bring to a boil, and it's done. Really. My sisters-in-law and I were a little skeptical, but she was right! It has never failed me. And I've been cooking it this way for 16 years. It's never been tough, either. So long as the corn is fresh and sweet, that is. And we are lucky enough to live where the corn is fresh. You may need the sugar and other tricks for less than optimum stock, but maybe not. Try it. You might like it. Or you might not.

I like shucking the corn buttering it (salt too) and wrapping each piece tightly in foil. Then I throw it in the oven at 450 degrees and bake for 25 minutes. Thanks this sounds yummy.

You must adjust the green chilli as per your taste bud permits. In India, this type of eating corn is very famous.

I use maybe 1/4 cup, if that (I just dump some in). And I add salt to the water--so I'm not adding too much to the cob at the table. Turns out so yummy!</p> <p>:) Jennifer<br /> Hey Joyful,
