How long to boil corn on the cob
There is no one definitive answer to this question, as the amount of time necessary to boil corn on the cob will vary depending on the size of the cobs, the type of pot being used, and the level of heat being applied.
However, as a general rule, it should take between 10 and 12 minutes to boil corn on the cob.
