Cooking at Home – Corn on the Cob

Cooking at Home

Cooking at Home – A new use for your Microwave…

For those of us who love the taste of fresh corn on the cob, but don’t like to heat up the house on a sunny day by boiling the corn or firing up a BBQ – Try this:

Cooking at Home – Corn on the cob – Place corn in microwave

Place an ear of corn, husk, silk and all in to your microwave. Depending on the power setting of your microwave it may take 3 to 4 min. for a single ear or 6 to 7 for two. I’m not sure that you would want to cook more than 4 at a time.



Cooking at Home – Corn on the cob – Cut just above the base of the corn

At the end of the cooking time carefully remove the ear of corn (Caution: it will be hot). Place on a proper cutting board and cut just above the base of the corn.

Cooking at Home – Corn on the cob – Cut just above the base of the corn

Cooking at Home – Corn on the cob – Slide the husk and silk off (Caution: it will be hot)

Now slide the husk and silk off (Caution: it will be hot). Cooking note: The corn may be left in the microwave for several min. after cooking is complete by placing a paper towel over the corn.

Cooking at Home – Corn on the cob – Now enjoy the sweetness of the corn

Now enjoy the sweetness of the corn with out the heat on a hot summer day…
