Greyhound Mom	Posted - Jul 21 2009 : 07:45:11 AM Has anybody microwaved corn on the cob? Well, a Farmer (of all people) told us to cut off each end of the cob, take off all but 3 or 4 layers of the husk, put 1 cob in the microwave at a time for 2 minutes and that is it! This is the best corn on the cob we have ever eaten. And done perfectly every time. I know...I am traditional and old fashioned as anyone here, but this Farmer is too and this recipe came from him! Try it!!! B ~ "The earth does not belong to us; we belong to the earth, and we have a sacred duty to protect her and return thanks for the gifts of life."

Annab	Posted - Jul 22 2009 : 03:21:27 AM For 1 or 2 servings here's what we do: Strip the husks and silks off Wet the cobs Take 2 paper towles still connected and wet these. Wrap the cobs loosly in these Nuke for 2-3 minutes

Greyhound Mom	Posted - Jul 21 2009 : 4:52:54 PM Belle...I cut both ends about an inch in, so that removes the end silk. Amazingly there are hardly any strands of silk left on the cob. Then I keep the husks for my Cornhusk dollies that I make for Fall.

Greyhound Mom	Posted - Jul 21 2009 : 09:51:24 AM Now do you take the husk off, Marybeth? I've not tried this way yet! But I will now!!!

Marybeth	Posted - Jul 21 2009 : 09:45:17 AM I guess we all do it differently yet the same. I wash an ear of corn and put it on a plate and mic it for 3 minutes. The little water left from the washing is just right. YUMMY!! http://www.smallcityscenes.blogspot.com www.strawberryhillsfarm.blogspot.com www.day4plus.blogspot.com www.holyhouses-day4plus.blogspot.com "Life may not be the party we hoped for...but while we are here we might as well dance!"
Bellepepper	Posted - Jul 21 2009 : 09:42:56 AM I have a microwave corn thingie that holds 2 ears of corn. You add a tablespoon of water and microwave for 4 min. Really good. Next time I have fresh corn, I'll try your way. What do you do about the silks? Do they remove easily when you take off the remaining husk?? Belle
