You might be used to preparing corn on the grill, but steaming locks in more nutrients and preserves each kernel's juiciness. Whether you like your corn topped with butter, parmesan, cheese, or something else (see Serving Suggestions for inspiration), it's a choose-your-own adventure with this summertime staple.
All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well.
