Boiled corn on the cob is often one of the first side dishes a teenager may try to make. It sounds so easy to drop the corn in the water and watch it boil. With no additional steps necessary, this is also often the first vegetable a person burns. They often forget to add enough water. The water boils away. Sometimes, it's salvageable if there are still bubbles on the bottom of the pan. Break the cob in half for a single serving. When broken in half, they fit in a smaller pan, and the water will boil quicker.
