Steamed Corn on the Cob

Steaming corn on the cob in a dutch oven is a simple and delicious way to cook fresh corn to perfection.

This method locks in the natural sweetness of the corn and results in a perfectly cooked and juicy cob every time. The process is simple, all you need to do is fill the bottom of the dutch oven with about an inch of water and bring it to a boil. Then, place the corn on the cob in the oven, cover it with the lid, and let it steam for about 45-60 minutes, depending on the size of the cob.
