How To Cook Corn

1a. Steam 4 to 8 minutes, depending on size
2. Nuke in husk (unknown time or power) 4 to 4.5 minutes in husk (unknown quantity -- perhaps per ear) remove husk under water, wrap in wax paper, nuke 2 minutes per ear
3. Grill in husk after soaking in water (unknown time or heat level)

The cooking time depends very much on the variety of corn, as well as its condition, which depends on a number of factors which cannot be predicted, or factored into a rigid cooking formula. and "It depends on the type, how old, etc. White seems to take the least amount of time, where the large, gold kernels take longer, IMO."
I agree with the last comment, too. The white corn is some form of supersweet hybrid, which both retains its sweetness longer after being picked and cooks to tenderness faster than the traditional yellow corn. -aem
