How Long is Corn Steamed for?

Steamed corn can be an ideal garnish on its own or in combination with other vegetables, no matter if they're grilled, steamed or boiled.

In fact, steaming corn is not as difficult as it sounds. Necessary utensils for its preparation are a colander or a mesh basket, a saucepan and a little butter and salt, if desired, you can use some spices as well.

There are also specialized steamers that you can use for this purpose. It is much easier and more affordable to go with the first option.

Pour water into the pot and wait for the water to boil well inside, then place the colander or basket and you must first check whether the water reaches the bottom of the cookware. What we want is to steam the corn, not boil it.

After making sure that everything meets the requirements, add the corn and cover the pot with a lid.

The time for steaming corn varies from 10 to 15 minutes. Once the grains are soft enough, you can remove the corn and smear it with butter and salt, as well as other spices, if desired.

This way, other vegetables can be prepared depending on how you prefer them. With corn, we recommend that you prepare a delicious Mexican salad or a classic chili con carne. Enjoy!
