Perfect Corn on the Cob

Mmmmm!  Summer just wouldn't be summer without corn on the cob!  Here are two methods that give perfectly sweet corn every time!

Fill a large pot with water.  Add 1/4 c. sugar and 2 T. lemon juice.  Add 4-6 shucked ears of corn and bring water to a boil.  Boil for 5 minutes and turn off heat.
Let sit for 5 minutes.

Drain corn.  Add melted butter and salt.

Enjoy!


You can also MICROWAVE perfect corn on the cob!!  This is a great method if you only want one or two ears.
Leave corn in the shucks and place in the microwave.
Cook on High for 4 minutes ( 8 minutes for 2 ears ).  Let sit for a couple of minutes.
Using a sharp knife, cut through the stem end, making through to go through the corn.  Hold by the silks and shake the cooked corn out of the shucks onto a plate.
Voila!   Perfectly cooked corn, with no silks attached!   Add butter and salt and eat!
