Cooking Corn on the Cob – my easy formula 4 + 2!

I wanted to once again post my formula for Cooking Corn on the Cob – since it is peak corn season and I keep getting inquires on how I cook corn, I thought this would be a post worth repeating.

I have tried every way to cook Corn on the Cob and I think I have the easiest and best tasting trick to delicious corn. Toss out that pot with water and head to your microwave. Here is my simple solution – cut off the stem of the corn, leave on the husk. Place the corn in your microwave and here is my formula –

4 minutes (high setting) for the first ear + 2 additional minutes for each additional ear = delicious and easy!

Handle the corn with hot mitts when bringing out of the microwave and simply peel off the husk and the silk.

cut off the stalk at the base of the cob
position corn in the microwave
perfectly cooked corn and easy to shuck
