In boiling water
This is the most common cooking method because it's easy and fail-proof. Get a big pot of water boiling (don't as salt, as this will toughen the corn), and add your cobs. Leave them in the pot with a roiling boil for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove when tender but still crunchy.

On the barbecue
Grilled corn is a go-to for summer nights. Soak your cobs in water for 20 minutes before placing them directly on a 500°F grill, husks off. Rotate every 5-7 minutes, and cook until tender, about 30 minutes.

In the microwave
contrary to popular belief, sticking a corn cob in the microwave won't result in popcorn. If you need corn cooked fast, this is your method. Remove most of the husk from the corn and microwave on high for 4 minutes. Prick the corn with a fork to see if it's cooked though, then let it sit for a few minutes before enjoying.
