Corn on the Cob
 

Put unshucked corn on a paper towel in the microwave - 4 minutes per cob. After taking them out, cut off about 2 " of the bottom, hold the top (silky end) and give a few shakes - no silk!

Interesting, I will have to try that as I have some corn in my fridge right now and need to cook it. Thanks.

i will try that next time we get some corn. thanks for sharing.

There was a YouTube about this a few weeks ago. We do it regularly now, and it works!! But be careful, as that corn is really hot when it comes out of the microwave. Our corn has been small this year due to lack of rain...

This works really well. I love it as I am alone and now can just pop an ear of corn in the micro and in 4 min it's done. No water to boil. It stays hot a long time also.

If you hate shucking ears of corn and ending up with all the stringy silks to pick off, try this. It is absolutely unbelievable and yet so simple. I wonder what took the world so long to figure this out.

Corn on the Cob
 

The absolute best corn on the cob I ever was at a Mexican restuarant in Lewes, DE. They pulled back the husks and braided them. (May have been steamed in the micro first owing the braids held.) It was roasted on the grill and presented with a chipotle dressing and Mexican cheese. Cannot remember the name of the restaurant, but their food is outstanding.

So if I have 4 ears it's16 minutes?

Mmmm-Mmmmm, ya'll making me hungry again!

Thanks, I will try it tonight!

Yes, microwaved sweet corn is the best. I cook mine 2 minutes then turn it over and do another 2 minutes.
Sure beats the water in the kettle method like my Mom used to do .

Terry NO...Do one corn at a time...

In the video he did 8 min. He had 4 ears sitting there but maybe he only cooked 2.

O MY gosh it works PERFECT used to do it all the time.. WHen I get my wires out ( trying to get jaw bones fixed from degeneration)that is the first thing I M going to get to eat:O)

I do this and cut off the large end put on an oven mitt and just squeeze the corn from the silk end and it comes right off. I found this easier than shaking it and no burnt hands.

Done it and it works.

Yes it is 4 min. per ear so if you cook 4 ears it would be 16 min. It works perfect every time
just watch the U Tube Video here that was above ..
