I made this last night and it really does cook them so tender and flavorful. I used the pepper flakes and we liked the slight bite it gave them. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us.

Milk in the water? Really? Well, skeptical I was at first, but the proof came in some of the best corn we've ever eaten...and in March! I too had to cook the ears a little longer, about 12 minutes and scaled the recipe down for 4 ears of corn, but I highly suggest giving this a go. Also, thanks for suggesting the soy sauce. I had never heard of that either and enjoyed it very much.

Wow this was good!!! I was looking for a new way to cook corn on the cob- It was soooo sweet and tender. I cooked it for a little longer (10 min)- and only made 2 cobs of corn instead of 12. We will be having this again soon. Thanks so much for sharing!
