First, peel and shuck your corn.

Then, transfer the corn into a large stock pot. Fill the pot, covering the corn with cold water. Then, place the cover on the top.

Bring the water to a boil. The corn will cook as the water warms and comes to a boil.

Once the corn has come to a boil (and the corn has turned a deep yellow color), turn the heat off.

Immediately remove the corn from the water to let cool.

Serve corn on the cob immediately with butter and salt.
