Corn on the Cob; Stays Hot and Fresh

This is my favorite way of cooking corn on the cob and keeping it hot and fresh for dinner, or for a party. I usually buy Peaches and Cream corn on the cob to cook this way. The quantity of four is simply a formula. Double or triple the recipe, or use as many cobs of corn as you like. Serve with All-Purpose Herbed Butter or Homemade Whipped Butter. Or, add a toasted tomato sandwich, Simple Tomato Sandwich, for a great meal. If you have any leftover corn, cut the kernels from the cob and add them to soups and chowders, salads, savory pancakes, cornbread or muffins.
