What Are the Different Ways to Cook Corn on the Cob?

Question:Beside grilled on the barbecue, ou can cook corn on the cob in boiling water, steamed, in oven or microwave. Be careful not to overcook it and put too much salt in cooking water because corn would lose its flavor.

Editor: Put corn cobs in boiling water and cook them for 3 to 4 minutes for small ones and 5 to 7 minutes for bigger specimens.

To steam corn cobs, use 2 and half cups of water and steam for 3 to 5 minutes.

In the oven, bake at 430°f (220°c) for 35 minutes. In the microwave, cook for 3 minutes. In both cases, keep it for 5 minutes before serving.
