How to Cook Corn on the Cob

How to Cook Corn on the Cob

There's nothing quite like the sweet, juicy crunch of perfectly cooked corn on the cob. Here are two of our favourite ways on how to cook it to perfection:

  • Boiling: Fill a large pot with water, add a pinch of salt and bring it to a boil. Add your husked corn and cook for around 5 minutes. Drain your sweetcorn, slather with butter, sprinkle with a pinch of salt or your favourite seasoning, and serve.
  • Grilling: Brush the cob lightly with olive oil or butter. Grill over medium to high heat for 10 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally. Our Recipe Development Manager, Mimi Morley, suggests sprinkling with chilli powder or grated Parmesan for a flavour boost you’ll love!

How to Cook Sweetcorn

Sweetcorn from a tin is a pantry hero that’s a game-changer for quick, easy recipes. Here’s how to cook it:

  • Sautéeing: Drain and rinse your sweetcorn. Heat a splash of olive oil or butter in a pan, toss in the corn, and sauté for 3–5 minutes. Add a sprinkle of smoked paprika or garlic powder for an extra kick!
  • Microwaving: Drain and rinse the sweetcorn from the tin, then transfer it to a microwavable dish. Cover and heat on high for a couple of minutes, stirring halfway.
  • Don’t cook at all: Did you know sweetcorn can be eaten straight from the tin? Toss it into salads, soups or stir-fries for a pop of sweetness and colour.
