For sure! I use the little pokey holder things in the end of the ear and put the ear of corn on top of the stick of butter and roll completely around multiple times using the heat of the butter to soften the butter.
My wife’s only fault is she cuts her sweet corn off the cob.

Unlimited fresh sweet corn and ripe heirloom tomatoes is something I miss about living back east.
Have you even feasted in the summertime until you have had a thick slab of a West Virginia Mountainer tomato on toasted homemade bread with mayo and salt and pepper?
Sweet corn has to be eaten typewriter still after rolling it on top of the stick of cold butter. Garlic salt and pepper…

When I first saw my BIL eat corn by twisting it off with his fork, WTH, don't ya have teeth? Typewriter all the way, holding the tip of the ear in my right hand and base in my left, just butter applied with a fork which holds it while it melts on the hot corn.

During corn season we always have 2 cubes of butter that we keep out. One for breads and one to roll corn on. We have corn almost every night when it's in season and with a family of 8 we usually go through a cube of butter easily.

Part of the Indiana holy trinity for me (sweet corn, BPTs and White Castle) that I long for eternally. I am a ton of butter and salt guy generally, although I DO love a roastin ear at the fair as well.
Here is a top tip for buttering. Take the heel from a loaf of bread, butter VERY liberally and roll the ear around while being cradled on the bread. Efficient and keeps from butter waste

No....you put a hunk of butter on a piece of bread and cup the bread around the corn and work it in. Buttered corn and bread with less mess.

The mess is half the fun. I prefer to share the plate with a BLT sand which which in turn soaks up the salty buttery goodness.

My wife blanches 20+ ears and puts it up in freezer bags. Fresh tasty corn all year.

Did a multi-family tent camp in a KOA just outside (north of) Ouray, CO when our kids were young. A quick run to Montrose for a load of Olathe sweet corn...wrapped in foil and wet newspaper in their soaked shucks and buried in coals.
Heaven...

I did about 20 dozen last year. Frozen corn for all family gatherings. So easy and so good!

We still have a bunch left. I kept getting corn given to me and I couldn’t let it go to waste.

I've been here in CO for 14 years now and Olathe corn is passable.....BUT....it isn't in the same universe as midwest (esp IA, IL, IN) ripe sweet corn.
