I have been using this method for a year now and it works every time. It is such a perfect way to cook corn, Set your microwave to 4 minutes for each cob...2 cobs, set at 8 min.

Useful info - thanks Mo. I usually take the husks off and boil for five minutes then spread with butter.

Awesome...can't wait to try this out! Watching this made me want to have fresh corn for supper, but we didn't grow any and the neighbor's corn isn't ready yet!

It takes every single hair off along with the husks, The corn isn't watery, saves a lot of mess, try it, you will be surprised.

I def plan to as soon as I get my hands on some corn, lol

Yep i remember my Aunt Jean would go out back pick a bunch of corn... husk it ...butter it ...re-wrap the corn cob and secure with a rubber band.Then she would microwave it a few pieces at a time. (yes there were microwaves when i was a kid ..lol)

Now i grill it.

I grill them with the husks on them all the time.

Yup; did this myself a few months ago (my own way), but didn't have the gloves to de-husk and talk about some hot hands. lol

I actually put the corn in the freezer with husk intact; keeps quite a long time in the freeze with the husks left. Probably should buy more corn now since it's going to be an expensive proposition (already is) to eat corn.

edit:

Should have viewed the video first; I actually cooked (boiled) the corn corn with hunk inplace. lol

If you have a lot to do you can put a few dozen ears in a cooler and fill it with boiling water, then put it in the sun and they will come out fine. I saw an article about it and it seemed interesting so I tried it and it worked fine.

I am really happy we have local farmer markets where i can get fresh cheaper priced corn on the cob.

I live right next to a cornfield...I can get corn really cheap (free) but...the downside is that it is field corn.

Corn was 15¢/ear back in May (Commisary; have to admit that it was a sell; lol) and now it's 35¢. Hate to see what it will be in September.

I guess I should make the effort to pick and freeze more from our garden this year. If only I wasn't so lazy...

cool...great idea

OK, I need to report back....I did grab some corn from across the street and tried out this method. I works perfectly, I love it!!!!

Back in my day we had to walk 5 miles through the snow to get corn. Now, having said that because that what old guys say, I can get to the point. My favorite way is to pull the husks back, remove the hair, add lots of butter and some cayenne pepper, put the husks back up, wrap them and grill them slowly over a mild fire, moving them around a lot.

well, this method is only for the microwave, so for grilled it would be back to basics I guess.

great 2-ton, I love the way it gets rid of all the hair in one shot. fast and easy.

That sounds mouth watering. I'll have to give that a go.

Yes, uphill both ways.

Great tip, Molly. I knew the microwave was good for something besides reheating leftovers.
