Hey who funds this channel? the Jews?
I'd never figure out how to boil corn without ya. Usually I just put it in on the stove and tell "is it ready yet?!!?"
I want to cook 2 ears of corn……..do I put the in for 5 mins?????? Wtf?

Becky, thanks for an easy recipe👍
It’s corn! 🧑🏾🦲
Just tried it, so delicious!!
🌽🌽🌽
Apparently single people don't eat corn…
Just my kind o' recipe. Perfect! Any more involved and it would be beyond me.
Turned out al dente for me, needed to boil them again after.
But I think I just had a tough batch of corn.
The real truth is that good quality can be eaten without boiling or any other nonsense. It simply needs to be heated up enough so butter can be melted on it. I've personally picked fresh corn and tasted it to see if it was ripe and it was delicious.
What if you do 4? About 7 or 8 minutes I'd assume?
I turned some leftover corn from a party into the best corn I’ve ever had from this recipe. Thank you!
At 3:00, they didn't use corn cob holders that stick into the ends of the cob. These big city test kitchens don't know the basics.
Hmm – what if you want to cook just 2 ears? I guess it would be 9 1/2 ounces of water for 6 minutes and 11 seconds Thanks but no thanks. I'll just use my microwave. Can you folks be any sillier. Just saying hello.
Corn yall
"I'll see you later" wink wink
Thank you
They didn't take the water off the heat.
Boil the water.
Turn off the heat.
Put in the corn.
Wait 10 min.
Eat!!!
Made this today. Thank you. It was good! I liked it better without the chili powder . Just the butter was good enough for me!
F butter nothing is better on corn then MAYO

I Like
I had made corn like this years ago–when I was having a big party. Today, I need to boil 18 ears of corn and remembered this being an effective method as it allows the corn to sit in the water for up to 30 minutes. I search online and all recipes said not to leave it in the water–but I knew I had done it successfully before. I just didn't remember how. Now I know. Thanks!
Been cooking corn this way since I've seen this video. Got corn again today. Perfect way to cook 🌽
Terrific my go to recipe from now on. Thanks
I tried it, and my corn was great. I will be cooking it this way from now on. Thank you
I put the corn 🌽 in when the water is cold and add a little sugar to bring out the sweetness…then when it comes to a boil I turn off the element and let it sit for 8-10min. Perfect Corn 🌽 every time!
