The best way to cook corn on the cob: step-by-step recipe

One of the greatest gastronomic joys of summer is corn on the cob. Its sweet kernels, smeared with butter, do not leave adults and children indifferent.

Eatthis figured out how to cook corn on the cob correctly. It turns out that it doesn't take long and it's not difficult at all.

Peel the husks

When grilling corn, you don't usually peel it. But in this case, it's a must.

The silk strands that are so annoying when peeling corn also need to be removed.

Put on a hot cast iron skillet

When it comes to cooking corn without boiling or open flames, you should make sure you have a good quality cast iron skillet. This is where this vegetable will turn out just perfect.

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot (3-5 minutes) and place the corn in a single layer.

Fry the corn

It is impossible to predict the exact cooking time. But it's important to make sure that the corn is fully cooked on all sides and that it doesn't change color. When the kernels start to turn yellow and char, it's time to remove the vegetable from the pan.

Season with butter and salt

After removing them from the pan, rub the hot ears with softened butter and season with coarse sea salt. This way you get the perfect corn, cooked not on the grill, and not in boiling water, which usually takes away the main flavoring properties.
