⭐ Tips
✔️ Fresh sweet corn is best when it is in season. The freshest corn will have bright green husks and feel slightly damp. Avoid corn cobs that are yellow or have small holes.
✔️ Use a pastry brush or basting brush to spread the melted butter over each ear of corn.
🍲 Storage
To Store: Leftover corn should be stored in the fridge in an airtight container or bag. (These are my favorite airtight containers.)
To Reheat: Microwave individual portions in 30 second intervals until heated throughout.
