Corn on the cob??
I made this only one time before and when I say "I" it really means my Dad basically did everything. I remember him saying they need to boil for a while - but how long??
I have two ears - one for me and one for DH 
Can anyone tell me how long they need to be in the water for? Also, is there a "sign" as to when they are ready?

Add water to the pot, enough to cover the corn and bring to a boil
Add the corn and cook for 3-10 minutes, depending on how soft you like the corn. you should be good in about 7 minutes or so. Just feel the corn, you basically are heating it and softening the kernnels.

yay! thanks!!! 
ETA: one good tip my dad did tell me was to add a little milk to the water - like half a cup - makes it taste better?

If it is still in the husk you can put it in the microwave and it comes out just as good!

Re: Corn on the cob??
we do ours in the microwave... SO yummy- b/c it holds all of its juice in- it doesn't get lost in the pot of water.
we used to take all of the husk off and put it in saran wrap but now we put it in a ziplock bag and leave it slightly open...
