Never boil your corn for any longer than 10 minutes. The best way to boil corn is for less than a minute and then let it seep in the covered hot water for 10 minutes. This process is detailed below.

1. Boil It Up. Boiling is the classic way to prepare sweet corn. You can either use a wide, flat pan and lay the corn on its side, or use a taller stockpot to boil a big batch at once. Either way, fill the pan with enough water to cover the corn and bring it to a boil. Shuck off the outer husk and silk from the corn. Dissolve a tablespoon of salt in the water and add the corn. If your corn is very fresh, cook it for three to five minutes. For corn thatâs a few days old, go for six to eight minutes.
