I feel like this is a stupid question, so pardon if it is.

No not a stupid question because I was wondering the same thing myself. Is the corn cooked or does it still need to be cooked? Neat way to get rid of the silk though.

He says when it comes out it's ready to eat, so I'm assuming it is cooked.

This is the question I had!

I think it is already cooked as its being cooked for 8 minutes in the microwave. I already have shucked corn in my freezer maybe when we go to town if I remember I will grab a couple ears.

I have always cut my corn like that and pulled off the husks but never have I cooked them in the microwave like he did.

How long do you think corn needs to cook?

My parrot loves corn on the cob and I hate shucking it. I will definitely try this even though Pooperbird will not be very patient waiting for the corn to cool! Thanks for sharing.

That would work for hubby & me but don't think I could feed the whole family if they all showed up for dinner. I know they wouldn't want to eat in shifts. :)
