Bring to a Boil: Start by bringing a large pot of water to a rolling boil before adding the corn.
Add Corn: Once the water is boiling, add the corn cobs, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Boil for 4-6 Minutes: Cook the corn for 4 to 6 minutes. This is typically enough to achieve a tender yet crisp texture.
Test for Doneness: Check the corn by piercing a kernel with a fork. It should be tender and juicy.
Avoid Overcooking: Boil for too long, and the corn can become mushy and lose its sweetness. Stick to the recommended time.
Pre-soak for Extra Sweetness: For sweeter corn, soak the cobs in water for 30 minutes before boiling.
Cover the Pot: Keep the pot covered while boiling to maintain the water temperature and speed up the cooking process.
Serve Immediately: For the best flavor and texture, serve the corn as soon as it’s done boiling.
