Rice cookers* turn out to be quite good at steaming corn on the cob. I did have to break the cobs in half in order to stand them on end in the rice pot.

And after they're done, the steamer goes into "warm" mode, and keeps them nice and hot.

*Ones designed like mine, with a stainless steel rice pot or aluminum steamer basket that sits in a boiling water bath, at least. It's basically an electric double boiler.

Other designs may not steam corn the same way.

Yes, that's what bedfull_o_books usually does. I wanted to try the rice cooker this time because she had already de-husked the corn--it had been sitting in a wet bag a bit too long. It was pretty easy to just pop them into the rice cooker.

And now I have another way to cook corn on the cob.
