The time to steam corn on the cob depends on how tender you want it. For crisp-tender corn, steam for about 4 minutes. For softer corn, steam for 7 minutes, and for the softest texture, steam for 10 to 15 minutes. Be sure to keep an eye on the water level to avoid it running dry during longer steaming times.
Summary:
- Crisp corn: 4 minutes
- Softer corn: 7 minutes
- Softest corn: 10 to 15 minutes
This method enhances the flavor and texture of the corn while keeping it sweet and tender without the need for salt in the water during steaming.
