Soak the clean corn cobs in a large pot of boiling water (with enough water to cover them). Do not add salt during cooking, as it can toughen the kernels. Cover and cook over high heat until they are tender, for about 8-10 minutes. If the corn is very fresh, the cooking time will be even shorter. Drain immediately and serve with butter or margarine, salt, and pepper.
