    We just boil ours in water for 5 mins, just leaving it to sit in the hot water until I'm ready to serve, I find this keeps the corn really plump and juicy. I will serve DS first incase it needs to cool down more. DS just loves to eat is straight off the core. I like mine with a little bit of butter, DH adds salt..

    Steam, boil or roast is how I cook corn cobs.

    Hmm to be honest not sure of times as it depends if I chop cobs smaller, I just generally will pull a kernal off and taste.

    When roasting I season with what ever I feel like first (salt, pepper, seasonal, oregano, chilli flakes, garlic salt etc etc)

    I like to eat with some butter

    if they still have all the green around them i just whack 'em in the microwave for about 7-8minutes they kind of steam in their jackets then.
    If not i just boil them until they turn a deeper yellow or about 10 minutes

    I just brush with small amount of olive oil then season and put in oven for about 1hr turning a few times to make sure all sides cook properly.
