Delicious and Easy Corn on the Cob

I learned this from a shopper in Stockbridge, Massachusetts when I was young. I have used this for 40 years and it has never failed to produce the most wonderful corn on the cob.

Ingredients

• 0.25 teaspoon white sugar
• 4 ears corn, husked and cleaned

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Stir sugar into water to dissolve; add corn, cover pot, and turn heat off, leaving pot on hot burner.
2. Steep corn in hot water until tender, about 25 minutes.
