On the Mayflower, the pilgrims were running out of food on the way to America. They had brought corn from their crops to eat. Each day they were granted 5 kernels of corn per meal. Today we celebrate that they made it to the new world (America), and on Thanksgiving, as a tradition we have 5 kernels of corn to celebrate.

How long does it take to steam corn?

If the kernels are frozen you do not really need to cook them; by the time they have defrosted and warmed up they will have reached a cooked consistency. For fresh kernels a few minutes (5-10) should be enough once your water is boiling. Test them with a fork to see if they are ready. They will not overcook easily unless the water boils away.
