We recently had a dinner party (the menu and recipes were posted here), and one of the dishes served was corn on the cob. The corn itself was done on the grill, and it was served with the silk removed and husks tied after being pulled down (made it easy to hold). I made several butters to accompany the corn, but in the end, I preferred plain old butter with salt and lots of pepper.
How do you like your corn? Butter? Lime? Chili powder? Garlic?
Butter and salt.
Lime is okay. I love lime but on corn I want some butter.
Lime and chili powder is good but again. I love butter.
Never tried garlic. Butter, garlic, and salt would be good with maybe lime juice and chile powder also. Hmmm?

<shrug> I never found it difficult to just use a knife and a small slab of butter, slathered on while sitting on the plate. One less pitcher of grease to clean up afterwards too. Goomba
I'm with you... I like only a small amount of butter on my corn anyway, not so it's dripping. And why an entire pound of butter... that's like more than enough to butter two dozen large ears... seems wasteful, especially when the butter costs more than the corn.
We're talking family reunion here. A couple hundred ears of corn minimum.
Oboy, I wonder who has the porta-potty concession.

Half-fill a juice pitcher with boiling water, and add a pound of melted butter.
Take your cobs of corn and dip them in the pitcher. The melted butter floats on the top, and coats the cobs as they are pulled up through the liquid.
