Summer is always the time of plenty. Plenty of zucchini. Plenty of tomatoes. Plenty of corn. And oh my goodness, plenty of watermelon. Be still my watermelon loving heart.
The old adage with sweet corn is you set the water to boil on the stove. When it boils go out and pick you corn from the field. Run them directly in and put them in the water. If you trip, stop and go pick more.
While I can’t get that kind of field to table turn around, I can make sure we eat as much fresh produce as possible. My kids would live on corn all summer long.
I have a tiny problem though. I’m a city kid. I never can tell when corn on the cob is done. I put them on to boil then forget about them or boil them too long.
Not anymore. I have an Instant Pot recipe ready to take care of the timing for me.
You can thank me later for how easy it is.
