How do you butter your corn?

I just throw an entire stick of butter on a plate and then everyone rolls their ear along the top of it. When dinner is over I throw away the remainder of the stick.

I take a pat of butter and run it along all of the corn then follow with salt and pepper.

I have a cube of butter in the refrigerator that I use to butter DH's corn-on-the-cob. He's a lot more liberal with the butter than I am so I do it for him. I just slide it along the entire cob, turning as I go. I don't eat it any more since it spikes my sugar.

I run the butter over the whole cob, row by row ... turning it as I go ... I use plastic cob "handles"   

Then I do the same with the salt ... there must be salt!

Heavily! LOL

There is a sweet corn festival close to me. They have a giant pot of melted butter. They dip the ear in it, and hand it to you. Mmmm...

We don't grow any sweetcorn anymore. It is a lot of work to keep the raccoons and other critters out. Electric fences at several heights, and they still find a way in! One of my friends raises it to sell, and I just buy my freezer corn from him now! He picks it and brings it to me right out of the field! Woof -- that is one busy day when that comes! Tastes great all winter!

I very rarely eat corn on the cob (too messy…..I also don’t eat ribs or chicken wings) but if I do I butter the whole ear at once. I’ve never seen anyone butter one area at a time.

I butter and salt the whole ear at once - we use the little corn dishes to make it easier to catch the drips and re-apply as needed.

...and now I'm hungry for corn-on-the-cob!! mmmm...

I butter and salt the whole thing. If I remember to use it, I have a little plastic gadget that holds a partial stick of butter and lets you roll the corn against it. Otherwise I just stab a piece of butter with a fork and cover it that way.

We melt butter in a bowl and brush on whole cob.

My sister in law taught us that trick. I just the entire ear at once, salt and pepper.

I butter the entire ear and then salt. 

Mexican street corn uses mayo I believe

I cut off a portion of a stick of butter with the wrapper still on and swipe over all of the ear of corn, then salt.

How do I do it: I take a pat if butter and rub that over the kernels with a knife. No salt.
My favorite way to eat it is at an event where they roast the corn , peel the husk down to use as a handle, and dip the entire ear in a container of melted butter.
If you don’t butter the entire cob at once doesn’t it get cold and it won’t melt the butter?
