Kicked Up Corn On The Cob!

Fresh Corn on the Cob is a true summer treat and while it's hard to beat good ole butter, salt and pepper, I wanted to try some new flavors. Each ear was cooked and rolled in butter then I simply sprinkled the seasonings on them. I used (from top to bottom) Old Bay, my Homemade Cilantro Salt and Lawry's Chile and Garlic. I did taste all of them (oh the things I do for this blog:@) and they were all great, the one that made me say "wow" though was the Cilantro Salt-it had a bright fresh burst of flavor!

My all time favorite way to cook corn on the cob?
Ears peeled and cleaned of silk, place on steamer basket in pressure cooker.
Add 1 C water, set timer to 2 minutes.
Use automatic release.

Tip: If you're serving a lot of corn simply lay a whole stick of butter on a plate

and let folks roll the ear over it. Works great!

I used Homemade Cilantro Salt, Old Bay Seasoning and Lawry's Chile & Garlic Seasoned Salt. And as a wink and nod to the title here's a link to an old post for grilled corn using a homemade version of Emeril's Essence-Cajun Corn on the Cob.
