Preparing the Corn

Begin by husking the corn, removing all the silk and outer leaves. If using fresh corn, ensure it’s thoroughly cleaned. For frozen sweet corn, allow it to thaw partially so it’s easier to handle.

Cooking the Corn

In a large pot, bring water to a rolling boil. If desired, add a pinch of salt to the water. Add the sweet corn kernels and let them cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until they are tender yet crisp. To enhance flavor, you may optionally add a knob of butter to the pot during the last few minutes of cooking.

Serving

Once cooked, drain the corn kernels and, if desired, toss them with a small amount of butter and a pinch of salt for added flavor. Serve the sweet corn hot, savouring its natural sweetness and simplicity.
