We have some terrific-looking corn for dinner tonight but with this heat I do not want to boil or steam it nor do I want to venture out on the deck to use the grill while feeding the mosquitos and sweating. Can ears of corn be cooked in the MW with good results?
Excellent! Don't bother to husk at all -- just throw the cob in the m'wave. I only cook one at a time (about 2-1/2 minutes), so can't give time for larger batches.
When done, remove with potholder and whack off the stem end. Be careful -- the corn is very hot and steamy. Then just pull off the husk. Silk comes off slick as a whistle. No boiling pot of water; no fuss.
I put some soft butter inside the husk first... but otherwise is tasty!
