A good way to butter corn for a lot of people is to use a tall
saucepan. Add water and butter and heat. The butter floats to the
surface. Dip the corn and the last layer it sees before coming free
is the butter. Works very well if your doing lots of corn.

I no longer have them because we rarely eat corn on the cob. But I used to
have some plastic corn servers that were shaped to fit the corn. You simply
put the butter in it, laid the corn down across it, with the little pokey
things in the ends to hold it and then turned the corn around and around.
The hot corn would melt the butter.
