Ingredients for Corn on the Cob
To get started, you’ll need a few simple ingredients. Grab the following items and let the corn festivities begin!

Instructions for Boiling Corn
Now that you have your ingredients ready, it’s time to conquer the corn! Follow these easy steps:
- Start by husking the corn. Remove the outer green leaves and silky threads. It’s like giving your corn a spa day!
- Fill a large pot with water. You want it deep enough to cover the corn completely, so don’t go stingy on the water!
- Add a pinch of salt to the water, just enough to enhance the flavor of your corn. (Like a corn fairy sprinkling magic!)
- Bring the water to a rapid boil. You’re aiming for a bubble explosion that could rival a mini volcanic eruption.
- Once boiling, gently add the corn. Be careful—don’t burn your hands or smart like a superhero!
- Cover the pot and let it cook for about 4-6 minutes. Keep an eye on it, and don’t wander off to a Netflix binge!
- After cooking, use tongs to carefully remove the cobs (they’ll be hot, hot, hot!).
- Let them cool for a minute, then slather some melted butter on top, plus a sprinkle of salt for that extra flavor burst!
And there you have it—delicious, buttery corn on the cob that will have everyone at your barbecue begging for seconds! Your kitchen will smell like summer, and your friends will think you’re a culinary wizard (or at least a very skilled corn-boiling enthusiast). Enjoy!
