âś… Tips for the Best Corn
- Boost the Sweetness: Stir a teaspoon of sugar into the water before cooking for extra naturally sweet corn.
- Don’t Overcook: Keep an eye on the time—cooking too long can make the corn mushy.
- Add a Smoky Touch: For deeper flavor, wrap each ear in foil before placing it in the crockpot.
