Re: [CnD] Microwave corn on the cob
I don't wrap it. I pour a very small amount of water onto a shallow plate (water is totally optional), place the corn onto the plate and microwave it on high power for 3 minutes. My microwave has a 900-watt capacity. Then I remove the corn from the microwave and coat with butter. -Original Message- From: Cookinginthedark On Behalf Of Kathy Brandt via Cookinginthedark Sent: Monday, August 17, 2020 5:49 PM To: cookinginthedark Cc: Kathy Brandt Subject: [CnD] Microwave corn on the cob Remove the husk, rat ear in damp paper towel, and microwave on high for 3 to 4 minutes depending on how much crunch you like in your corn. I read about this years ago in a magazine; beats messing with all that boiling water. Two ears come out good if microwaved for five minutes, individually wrapped. I believe the same source said to use plain rather than printed paper towels, since the printed ones might not interact well with the microwave. ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark ___ Cookinginthedark mailing list Cookinginthedark@acbradio.org http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark

Re: [CnD] Microwave Corn on the Cob
Okay, now y'all are making me a bit jealous -- I have to cut corn off the cob to eat it, thanks to an accident when I was a teenager. I'm glad this worked so well for y'all, and I miss eating corn like that. Still, I may have to cook it that way and saw it off because it sounds so easy and fresh corn is the best corn. -Original Message- From: Suzanne Erb via Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark@acbradio.org] Sent: Thursday, June 29, 2017 7:16 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Suzanne Erb <suze...@comcast.net> Subject: Re: [CnD] Microwave Corn on the Cob Hi Nicole and All, Using your tip, I cooked one ear of corn for about 90 seconds, and it came out of the husk without any remaining silk.

Re: [CnD] Microwave Corn on the Cob
Nicole Thanks for this great tip for cooking corn on the cob! I have always carefully peeled the shucks back, removed the silk, and then replaced the shucks before microwaveing or grilling the ears of corn... until now that is! I will be sharing this on the Cooking In The Dark Show! What a great and simple shortcut... The shape of the corn will allow it to squirt right out of the shuck after it is done with a little squeeze at the skinny end when the bottom has been cut off...! !Just so happens I have 4 ears of corn just waiting to be fixed tonight! And, for a little change and a treat to your taste buds, try sprinkling a little lemon pepper on them. Keep On Cooking! Dale Campbell Cooking In The Dark .

He says that when it's done you take it out and squeeze at the end opposite where you cut it off and the cob will slide right out, free of shucks and silk, ready to butter and eat. -Original Message- From: Suzanne Erb via Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark@acbradio.org] Sent: Tuesday, June 27, 2017 1:23 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Suzanne Erb <suze...@comcast.net> Subject: [CnD] Microwave Corn on the Cob Hi Listers, What is the best way to cook corn on the cob in the microwave?

Re: [CnD] Microwave Corn on the Cob
I shuck it, wrap in a wet paper towel, and microwave for three minutes. Four if you want the ear a little more well done. > On Jun 27, 2017, at 2:45 PM, Nicole Massey via Cookinginthedark > <cookinginthedark@acbradio.org> wrote: > > My dad cooks it in the shuck in the microwave.
