步骤说明

1. 1

   Fill a large Pot with enough cold water to fully submerge all the Corn — typically about 4 quarts. Do not add Salt (it can toughen the kernels). If using, stir in the Sugar and White Vinegar, which help enhance sweetness and keep the Corn tender.

2. 2

   Shuck the Corn: peel back and remove all the outer husks, then rub off any remaining silk strands with your hands or a damp paper towel. Rinse the ears under cold water.

3. 3

   Bring the Pot of water to a rolling boil ^[over high heat].

4. 4

   Carefully lower the Corn into the boiling water using Tongs. Make sure all ears are fully submerged — you can snap ears in half if your Pot is small.

5. 5

   Cook the Corn for 3–5 minutes for fresh, sweet summer corn, or up to 7 minutes for starchier or older corn. Do not overcook — the kernels should be bright yellow and just tender when pierced with a Knife tip. Fresh Corn is already tender and needs minimal cooking; you're mostly heating it through.

6. 6

   Use Tongs to remove the Corn from the water and let it rest for 1 minute so it's cool enough to handle safely.

7. 7

   Serve immediately with softened Butter, Salt, and freshly ground Black Pepper. Roll the cob directly over a stick of Butter on a plate, or use a Pastry Brush to coat evenly. Eat right away — Corn is best hot off the pot.
