Usually about 8 minutes in boiling salted water.

If you want a real treat, do it on the BBQ. Soak the cobs in water for about an
hour and then pop them on the grill over direct heat, turning them frequently
until the outside start to char. Once you try properly BBQed corn you may not go
back to boiled or steamed corn.
