Instructions

Peel the cobs by removing the husks and silks, then rinse them under cold water.
Bring the water to a boil in a large pot with the salt.
Drop the cobs into the boiling water and cook 15 to 20 minutes from the moment it returns to a boil, until the kernels are tender.
Drain them carefully and let them rest for a moment.
Brush them with still-warm melted butter, then sprinkle with salt and, if you like, pepper.
Serve immediately, while very hot.
