STEAMED CORN ON THE COB

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Husk the corn and remove the silk. Trim off any discolored kernels or any that have been damaged by insects. Depending on the size of your steamer basket, you may need to cut the ears of corn in half so they are short enough to fit.
• Add 2 inches of water to a large pot and insert a steamer rack. Make sure the water is not touching the bottom of the steamer rack. If it is, pour some of it off.
• Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil over high heat.
• When the water begins to boil, place the corn into the steamer basket inside the pot using a pair of tongs.
• Cover the pot and let the corn steam for 4 minutes or until it turns deep yellow and crisp. If you prefer softer corn, steam for 7 minutes. For the softest corn, steam for 10 to 15 minutes. The longer you steam the corn, the more attention you must pay to the water level. Don't let it fall lower than 1 inch or it may run dry and scorch your pot.
• Turn off the burner and carefully remove the corn from the pot with tongs. Serve as is or with butter, salt, and pepper.
