An easy way to butter your corn on the cob is to use a slice of buttered bread.

With summer coming, corn-on-the-cob is a great favorite of ours. To avoid mess, and waste, we use a piece of bread to butter ours. Just put a pat of butter on the slice, twirl your corn, and pass it along!
My family loves corn on the cob. They all complain about buttering their corn, even with the new squirt butter, which I did not like to buy since it rather pricey! I buy the aluminum throw away pans when they are on sale and use one to butter the corn.
