Instructions
Husk corn. Set aside.
Put 2" of water in the bottom of a lg. pot big enough to hold all your corn. Add salt to water.
Place large plate or steamer in bottom of pan.
Put corn into the pan, whole or cut in half, and stack vertically (up and down) with the stems at the bottom.
Put the cover on, and bring water to a boil.
Once water comes to a boil, steam the corn for 15 minutes, keeping cover on.
Keep an eye on the water, and if it starts to boil out, add more to keep at around 2" so water doesn't evaporate.
Remove corn from pot with tongs, and put on a serving plate.
Cover with aluminum foil, until ready to eat.
Serve with lots of butter and sprinkle with salt, to taste.
