I had an experiment with corn on the cob that turned out excellent in my opinion!

[pengillian101]

I neither removed the silks, nor the husks. Just ran it under the tap for a bit to get the husks soaked. I just put it a plate on highest setting of the microwave for five minutes. A winner to me!

The silk and husks peel back easily into a natural handle.

(Note--I just made one ear, and our microwave is at 1100.)

1. Hmmmmm . . . you are making me

hungry for corn-on-the cob.

This technique also works well for grilling.

2. somewhat the same

I remove the husks and cornsilk, run it under water and then wrap it in a paper towel and microwave it for five minutes.

3. I always grill my corn like that - just throw it on the grill (not direct heat, of course)

husk and silk comes off easily.

What could be easier?

4. Agree...always do my corn that way. Always good...z
