Corn on the Cob

Use the freshest corn you can find—it makes a huge difference

Save the butter from the bags for serving

Don't overcook—30–40 min is perfect

For smoky flavor, char briefly on grill or under broiler after cooking

This temperature works well for older, less sweet corn

The softer texture is more traditional

Great for cutting kernels off the cob after cooking

This temperature is best when you'll use the kernels in other dishes

Kernels cut very cleanly from the cob at this temperature

Not ideal if you want kernels with more bite
