Loved the local CNY corn for sure. Down here, the local FL and GA corn is good.

    We have a nabor that grows acres of salt and pepper corn then sells it at his fruit stand. He sells it by the dozen, so I just have to cook all 12 at once boiling on the stove, but I 'my going to try some of your ideas.

Wow, I never heard of doing corn on the cob in the microwave.  Will definitely try it.

Used to always use the boiling water method. Tried the microwave a couple weeks ago and it turned out just as good w/o taking so much time.

When I learned how to cook it in the microwave, this was how I started to make it afterwards. It tastes so good this way, as it cooks in the husk.

Corn on the cob in the microwave is the only way I've cooked corn since I learned this method.  It works!

Fresh Jersey corn. 4 minutes in boiling water. Needs no salt or butter.

We clean each ear, remove all silks, and trim the pointy end so it's flat.

We wrap each ear in foil after putting a small butter pat and some salt-free seasoning into the foil package with the corn ear.

We keep them in the refrigerator until needed and them put the foil wrapped cobs in the oven for about 45 min at 350 or at whatever temp the rest of the meal is cooking

. 

If we are cooking on the grill we do the corn there ahead of the meat.

The corn comes out baked in the butter & spice and gets "toasted".  I find the corn lasts a good 10 days in the fridge, of course, it's best when eaten right away.

Clean them and pressure cook with 2 cups of water a little sugar and place corn on a rack and cook 5 minutes.... delicious!  Tomatoes, Corn and Watermelon screams summer for me!  However, I just can't find a super sweet watermelon these days.

I like my corn cooked 2-4 minutes tops, regardless of whether I steam or boil.   More than 5 minutes is seriously over cooked for my taste.   I think corn on the cob is the most over-cooked vegetable, along with broccoli.
