Steamed Corn: Place steamer basket in the base of a large pot over high heat. Add enough water to reach the base of the steamer without going over. Place two layers of strong paper towels over the steamer. Cover; allowing steam to build up. Place corn in the pot and cover. Steam for 3 to 4 minutes or until corn heated through and kernels are crisp-tender. Do not overcook. Remove corn from pan and cool slightly. Coat corn with your favorite blend of street corn ingredients.
