How To Cook Corn On The Cob
You’ve got a few different options for your cooking method for ears of corn. The method that is best will depend on how many you need to cook and what is convenient for you.
Choose boiling the corn cobs if you have a pot that is big enough to fit all the cobs you want to cook, with room for them to move around a bit. That helps them to cook more evenly. Then, you can cook as many as will fit, and they only need to boil for 5 minutes.
If you’re only cooking 1-4 cobs, then the microwave does a surprisingly great job of steaming the cobs and all you need is a couple of microwave-safe dinner plates.
If you like your corn to be a bit toastier, then you have two options: the air fryer or the grill. Use the air fryer to cook corn if you only need to cook a few cobs, however many will fit in there. To cook corn on the grill, you can load it right up!
