How We Steam Our Fresh Long Island Corn

There's nothing better than fresh-picked Long Island sweet corn! Here's the simple method we use to keep every ear sweet, tender, and delicious.

You'll Need:

• Fresh sweet corn
• A large pot with a steamer basket
• Water

Directions:

1. Fill a large pot with about 1–2 inches of water and bring it to a boil.
2. Place the husked corn into the steamer basket, making sure the corn sits above the water.
3. Cover the pot with a lid.
4. Steam for 8–10 minutes, or until the kernels are bright yellow and tender.
5. Carefully remove the corn and serve immediately with butter, salt, pepper, or your favorite seasonings.

Pat & Don's Tip

The fresher the corn, the sweeter it tastes! We recommend enjoying your corn within a day or two of purchasing it for the best flavor and texture.
