The Right Way to Make Corn on the Cob Southern Sides

Serious Mealtimes / Daniel Gritzer

Summer is the season for sweet corn (and tomatoes and peaches and eggplant and peppers and summer squash and melons and berries and cucumbers and—wow you gotta love summer for all of this produce). After my weekly farmers market purchase I usually just pop my corn on the cob in the microwave for speed and convenience. Plus it’s a cooking method that I’ve confirmed through testing works really well.

But there are so many ways to cook fresh sweet summer corn and sometimes we just need a little nudge to break out of our habits and do something different. So here’s a collection of many of our favorite methods for cooking corn so we can all enjoy it in as many ways as possible for a summer of food that’s as fresh and exciting as the mountains of produce we’re all so lucky to enjoy.
