Ok, I use a pasta pot for my corn on the cob with the strainer insert. I
put the corn in the insert and fill with water as hot as it runs. Remove
the insert with the corn and put the water on to boil. When it boils I
drop in the corn in the insert and put the timer on for 5 minutes. Leave
the heat on high. I have gas.

Take corn out onto a large heavy cotton tea towel and wrap up.

then just butter and salt and dig in. We've been eating corn for 2 weeks
picked fresh each morning.
