1. With a sharp, heavy knife, cut corn crosswise into 1-inch (2.5-cm) rounds. In a large pan, bring 4 quarts (3.8 liters) water to a boil over high heat. Add corn, cover, and cook until hot (3 to 4 minutes). Drain corn well and pour into a shallow rimmed dish (about 9 by 13 inches/ 23 by 33 cm).

3. Pour hot marinade over corn; let stand, frequently spooning marinade over corn, until corn is cool enough to eat out of hand. Season to taste with salt and pepper
