Best Steamed Corn On The Cob With Orange Oregano Butter Recipes
STEAMED CORN ON THE COB
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Husk the corn and remove the silk. Trim off any discolored kernels or any that have been damaged by insects. Depending on the size of your steamer basket, you may need to cut the ears of corn in half so they are short enough to fit.
- Add 2 inches of water to a large pot and insert a steamer rack. Make sure the water is not touching the bottom of the steamer rack. If it is, pour some of it off.
- Cover the pot and bring the water to a boil over high heat.
- When the water begins to boil, place the corn into the steamer basket inside the pot using a pair of tongs.
- Cover the pot and let the corn steam for 4 minutes or until it turns deep yellow and crisp. If you prefer softer corn, steam for 7 minutes. For the softest corn, steam for 10 to 15 minutes. The longer you steam the corn, the more attention you must pay to the water level. Don't let it fall lower than 1 inch or it may run dry and scorch your pot.
- Turn off the burner and carefully remove the corn from the pot with tongs. Serve as is or with butter, salt, and pepper.

SHIRLEY'S PERFECT STEAMED CORN ON THE COB EVERY TIME!
Are you tired of soggy corn that soaks up all your butter and tastes waterlogged? Well, there is a reason for that :) Here is the way my mom always cooked her corn on the cob, and her corn always tasted fresh and delicious every time... Yours will too! Using a large pan, place a large plate or vegetable steamer in the bottom of your pan after you add the water. Stack the corn vertically with the stems down on the plate/steamer. You should be able to put about 12 ears in to steam doing it this way, if your pan is big enough.
