Boiled Corn on the Cob
Main Dishes • European
Description
If the corn is very young, white, and small — boil for 3–5 minutes. If the ears are slightly yellow — boil for 1 hour. If they are completely yellow — boil for 2–2.5 hours. To keep the corn juicy: let it cool in the pot or in cold water. Only then should you sprinkle with salt or add anything else.
