How long does it usually take to steam corn?
Ordinary sweet corn and fresh corn are boiled and steamed 10- 15 minutes; If it is waxy corn, sticky corn and old corn, it needs to be steamed for 5- 10 minutes.

The time for steaming tender corn should not be too long. Otherwise, it is easy to steam old corn, resulting in loss of nutrition and loss of fresh and tender taste. If it is old corn, the steaming time should be extended accordingly.

What should I pay attention to when cooking corn?

1. When steaming corn, it is best to keep the green husk wrapped outside and cook it together, and the corn should be removed, so that the steamed corn is delicious.

2. Try not to open the lid when steaming, and steam it to the end once, so that the steamed corn is fragrant.

3. The corn steamed from the water, because it is not soaked in the water, can be stewed in the pot for a few minutes after steaming, and the nutrition will not be lost.

Generally, steamed corn is sweeter than boiled corn. This is because when boiled corn is boiled in water, some sugar will be lost to water, so it is not so sweet to eat, while steamed corn can retain the nutrients of corn to the greatest extent and will be very sweet, so it is generally recommended that steamed corn is better.
