No-peel, Microwave, Corn on the Cob! AKA: the best trick ever!


This page has moved! If you are not redirected follow the link to http://exploringdomesticity.com/no-peel-microwave-corn-on-the-cob-aka-the-best-trick-ever/
















The corn comes right out and is cooked beautifully. No cleaning required!




The best method ever for cooking corn!



I stick to doing two cobs at a time at 8 minutes, but it would be a lot quicker to do a few cobs at once, I just haven't tested the cooking time. Anyone played with this, and have suggestions for cooking time with more cobs?

    I read this idea on a friend's blog about a year ago, and it is truly amazing! We get wonderful fresh corn locally here and this easy method keeps me going back to roadside stand to buy more!

    I tried this out it didn't work as well as it says partly because we didn't cut high enough on the stalk end and when we were cutting it the husk started to fall away so we weren't able to push it through. While not silk free the corn was mostly clean and it was still easier even with the one that wasn't as clean to make them that way than the other way we'd done them.

      Great point - it is so important to cut at the widest point. I just made corn this way last night and I used the excess from the cut portions to feed my 8-month-old, but cutting the kernels off the bottom pieces. The biggest two tips are: when in doubt cut higher, used a hot pad to squeeze the end tightly all the way down and it should take off the silk. I've never had more than one or two pieces of silk hang on. Try again!

    When I do this, I just cook the corn at 4 minutes per ear. i.e., 3 ears, 12 min., 4 ears, 16 min., etc. Works great!!
