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.

Prepared 2 ears at 5 1/2 minutes per directions above (just added additional time as noted in some of the reviews). Be careful cause it is hot!! Husk and silk was easily removed. And they were GOOD!!! I will never boil corn again!!!! Enjoy!!!

This is the greatest thing since sliced bread. It is so much sweeter than any other way I have prepared it. I don't need butter or salt it is so flavorful. The best part is that it is so easy.

This is a great and super easy way to cook corn and keep its fresh taste! One thing though - cut through the stem end, making sure you cut through all of the husk leaving the kernels exposed. Then proceed with the recipe and then you can squeeze and twist the end with the silk, and the cob will, literally, come out of the husk, silk free!

Worked great. Better results than steaming or boiling. Especially useful for lunches at the office, when the Microwave is the only available cooking appliance.
