4 Minute Corn on the Cob

May 28, 2015 SimplySherryl 54 Comments

4 Minute Corn on the Cob

4 Minute Corn on the Cob

One of my favorite food during the summer months has to be corn on the cob. I could eat it several times a day and often do now that I have perfected the cooking it in the microwave!

Yep.. in the microwave..in the husk…without having to pull off all the silk stringy mess!

Ready for this?

Ingredients:
1 ear of unhusked corn (in other words – straight from the field or produce department)

Directions:
Place corn in microwave and cook on high for 4 minutes
Remove from microwave and place on cutting board (it's hot – really hot)
Cut off the stem end at the area where it is the widest
Pick up corn by fringe end and gently shake to release corn
Add Salt, Pepper and butter before enjoying!

If you have more than a couple of ears to cook, this probably isn't the quickest method.. oh but for just one or two.. yeah baby!

    4 minute Corn on the Cob is the best it even tastes better than the boil because it has lots of flavor with less cook time

    Corn on the cob is a must for Texas barbeques! I love the idea of microwaving them for those times when it’ for an individual meal! Thanks for the tips!

    Awwsome! I do this but i put mine in the oven in husks too. Cleaning the corn of those pesky hairs are a breeze! But I never thought of putting them in the microwave. It was a duhhh moment for me 😉 this is great for not heating the house up in the summer! Thank you!

    Ok… I’m trying this out… I’ve never heard of this before… we rarely have corn on the cobb… (which my wife loves) because I only cook it on the grill or occasionally boiling…

    I’ve never heard of doing this before! I’m going to have to try this. I’ve never tried putting corn on the cob in the microwave. I wouldn’t have thought it would have worked. I hate pulling the husk off the cob it’s so tedious. I will have to try this out! Thanks for the tip!

    Cool! I will do this from now on. I made some yesterday and I am not sure if I didn’t cook it long enough in the oven or if the corn was bad…it was really hard and dry.

      If the corn is old you can try soaking it in water for just a few mins, then drain before putting in microwave. You can also extend the cooking time up to 5-6 mins for monster ears. 4 mins handles average size and fresh corn.

    Cool, I will try this soon and see the results. Usually when we buy corn on the cob is a big box of about 43 to 50, at our local market. We put them to boil on a big long pot and enjoy them with mayo, cheese and chili pepper!
