Microwave Corn-on-the-Cob
Fresh Chilliwack corn-on-the-cob is at its prime right now...and we are enjoying it often. Last year I shared a tip for cooking corn-on-the-cob for the masses in a picnic cooler. It's perfect for that backyard BBQ when the whole gang is coming.
But what if there are just two of you? Or even one? Here is the best way to cook and husk a few cobs of corn! Pick out fresh cobs, fully ripe with the husks and silk intact. Then place them in the microwave and cook on high for 3-4 minutes per cob (4 minutes for a large cob). Remove from the microwave oven with an oven mitt or a hot pad. Then comes the magic part!
1. Place corn cob on cutting board, holding with the hot pad on silky end.
2. Cut about 1" off bottom end of cob.
3. Squeeze from the top and the cob will slip out the bottom. Ta-da!
4. Yield: 1 perfectly cooked and silk-free cob of corn!
Smother in butter and season as you like. Enjoy!
