Fresh corn is a great way to add flavor and texture to a variety of dishes. It can be boiled, steamed, grilled, roasted, or used in salads, soups, and casseroles. To prepare fresh corn, start by removing the husks and silks. Then, rinse the corn under cold water and pat it dry. To cook, you can boil, steam, or grill the corn. Boiling is the quickest and easiest method, and it takes about 5 minutes. To steam, place the corn in a steamer basket over boiling water and cook for about 10 minutes. To grill, place the corn on a preheated grill and cook for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally.
