    No no, half an hour is to long. Probably around ten minutes, depends how hot your stove is though, and how soft you want the corn to be.

    Boil your water and aim for three to five minutes, see how soft it is and go from there.
    No prob.

    Ever tried cooking corn in the microwave?

    2 minutes is all you need in a strong one...

    This lady at Walmart told me about it, and man... it works.

    If it's sweet and still white,I think it's even better raw.

    Just put the corn in normal water and heat it to a boil. By the time it reaches a boil, let a boil for a minute and its done. Works every time
