June 27, 201214 yr So the Mrs. decides to stop at a farmers market and picks up a dozen ears of corn yesterday. I had seen a video of a new method of cooking the Corn on the cob. Instead of the traditional soak in water and grill, or the shuck and boil, we tried the new way. Take an ear of corn and leave in the shuck and place into the microwave for 2 minutes. When done, cut off the bottom of the ear and push the ear out from the top of the shuck through the cut end. The ear comes out with no silk and is hot as can be. We even got fancy and did 2 ears for 4 minutes and it worked great too. For early corn it was actually pretty good. Give it a try, a lot quicker than traditional methods and no silk to jack with is a huge bonus.
June 27, 201214 yr That does sound a lot easier. I might have to try it, but I do love the grill flavor it leaves.

June 28, 201214 yr I've been doing this for several years. You can actually do 3 ears in 3-4 minutes and it turns out perfect. Each microwave heats differently so you may have to adjust the time based on your microwave. Don't over cook it.
June 28, 201214 yr Author Did it after I saw that video as well...and agreed...it works like a charm! That is the video I saw. Works great. Did it again tonight.
June 28, 201214 yr Author I hope your not making crack corn? Why not? Jimmy cracked corn and I don't care.
June 28, 201214 yr question, what happens when you microwave it for like 20 minutes, does it turn straight into popcorn?
June 28, 201214 yr You doubted me?:idunno: Not a chance... I was just reinforcing the point to any doubting minds
June 28, 201214 yr I would use this as a safety video about making corn when you are drinking.... apparently you have to be careful with that cut to the bottom......did you see that guys fingers?
