NEXT RECIPE: FRESH PEACH COBBLER

FRESH CORN ON THE COB
(MICROWAVE)

Cook fresh corn on the cob in microwave with husks and silk intact. They will cook in their own natural moisture.

Place on dampened paper towel. Turn ears over and rearrange after 1/2 cooking time.

Cooking Timetable:

1 ear - 1 1/2 minutes
2 ears - 3 to 4 minutes
3 ears - 5 to 6 minutes
4 ears - 7 to 8 minutes
6 ears - 8 to 9 minutes.

When ears are hot to the touch, remove and wrap in kitchen towel or foil.

Let stand at least 5 minutes. Remove husks and silk (which is easier than when cold) and serve.

Serve with melted butter.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.

Fresh Corn on the Cob (Microwave)

Angelia (Iowa) says:

Quick and clean!! I went ahead and removed the husks before I nuked them and they were great. 2 ears got plenty hot in 4 minutes.

I will probably never go back to boiling corn again. This is so fast, less mess, and doesn't heat up the house! I always over or under cooked it the old way. This was perfect and is so easy!

Marcia (Alabama) says:

Yum!! And the easiest way to cook corn ever! It stayed hot really well and was ready when we were.

I cook on a small boat. The KISS principle is a must. After my first use I loved it. I now soak one or two ears in a gallon zip lock filled with water (like I do for on the grill). Two gallon Zips if you need more. Better? Not sure a lot depends on the corn. Either way makes me happy.

Lucky (Michigan) says:

Wow! This is an amazing tasting corn, it really adds flavor

Lynn Ellen Wolf (United States) says:

Great technique, in addition I always peel back the leaves just a smidge to make sure there aren't any worms in the corn. You know the joke about what's worse than finding a worm in your apple....

Thank you, soooo easy!

Judy (New Hampshire) says:

I have been cooking corn using this method for years. I cook 3 minutes an ear and increase with added ears. Tip -- cooking for a crowd, put ears in a cooler as you remove from microwave. Keeps hot for at least two hours.

Madagascarjoan (Florida) says:

Amazed! Husks removed at market so thought this would never work. Delighted to be wrong! Wrapped ear in damp/wet paper towel, heated 50 seconds each side for perfect results. For one person, one ear this is wonderful!

Susie Gilmore (Arkansas) says:

I was in a hurry to finish my Memorial Day meal and had forgotten about my corn on the cob. Ran to my computer and found this recipe and it saved the meal. Thanks!!

Patricia (Illinois) says:

All of the above except there is a shorter way also. Just clean each cobb and roll in a damp paper towel and micro 2 min. per each corn. Turning over at half time. Follow cooking table as mentioned.

Dana (North Carolina) says:

Outstanding! Thanks so much!

Loriene (California) says:

I have done it that way for years and find the timing is good if you let it set wrapped for 2 to 5 minutes. I also trim the silk and remove some of the outter shucks and just soak a minute or two.

Carolyn (South Carolina) says:

Yep, super easy and great tasting!!

Donna (Israel) says:

I agree with all of the above, however wax paper is better (juice-wise) than paper towels, and I pre-butter them.
