Question:

How long does it take to cook corn on the cob? (by boiling)?


Answers:
Use a large pot, fill about 3/4 full of cold water. Add 2-3 tablespoons sugar, a little salt and cover. Bring to a boil over a high heat. Add the cleaned corn cobs and bring back to a boil. Boil for about 8 minutes. Don't over-boil or it will become tough and chewy. Enjoy!

Fill a large stockpot halfway with unsalted water and bring to a rolling boil.
Add corn on the cob to the boiling water.
Let water return to a boil.
Cover pot and immediately turn off heat.
Let covered pot sit undisturbed on the burner for 10 minutes.
Remove corn and serve hot with your choice of butter, margarine, salt, and/or other seasoning.

About 12 to 15 minutes

Fill a big pot about 2/3 of the way with water. Add a few sprinkles of salt. When the water comes to a hard boil, add the corn to the pot. Let boil for about 10 minutes. Don't boil much longer than that or it will get to "chewy". If your corn is done before the rest of your meal...take it out of the pot and put it on a cloth kitchen towel and cover with another towel...it will stay nice and warm.
