Have you heard that you can microwave corn on the cob? Did you know that by cooking corn on the cob in the microwave you can make it PERFECT... EVERY time? No shucking & no silk mess. Whether you live in an RV (like us) or a house, the microwave corn on the cob trick rocks!
One of the best parts about microwaving corn on the cob is that you leave the corn right in the husk... there's no need to shuck it. You only need to trim the end off if the ears are too big to fit inside your microwave. Each ear takes four minutes on high power, so we set our microwave to 12 minutes for 3 ears (Pro Tip... when you put more food in a microwave, it has to run for longer to cook it all). When your ears of corn are done cooking they'll be steaming hot, so be sure to use oven mitts to avoid getting burned.
With a sharp knife, cut off the large end of each ear. Even though you'll lose a row or two of corn kernels, you want to cut above the point where the stalk connects to the cob. Then grab the husk at the small end and squeeze the ear of corn out the other side... like you're squeezing a tube of toothpaste to get out the last bit.
Microwaving corn on the cob works like a charm and will leave your ears perfectly cooked and virtually silk-free every time!

This morning on New York City's Z100 morning show (and syndicated on about 70 other radio stations in major markets around the USA), Elvis Duran talked at great length about how he was going to "change your life" by sharing a video he'd seen on KZfaq. That's right.... it was THIS VIDEO... OUR video... about microwaving corn on the cob!! Thanks Elvis!! BTW.... it's an amazingly small world... we're originally from the New York City area, and we heard about this when a friend e-mailed us all excited this morning after seeing the video Elvis talked about, and then realizing it was OUR VIDEO!! :-D

Some grocery stores charge by the pound, instead of by the ear or dozen.

Thanks for this. I remembered you could do this and had done it many years ago but not recently so I was looking for a video to remind me of the technique and the time. This was perfect without having to watch a 30 minute video telling the entire history of corn. Sometimes those videos are very educational but that wasn't what I was looking for tonight. The only thing I will add is that I recently found out that the silk is actually highly nutritious and it's recommended to find a way to integrate it into your dishes so I'm going to try doing that and not spit out the silk if I get any in my mouth. Or throw it away while I'm shucking it.

@@deanronson6331 I look for maximum nutrition in all things. It's amazing how many things we Americans throw away that have nutritional value while we drink soda pop and eat highly refined foods with barely any nutrition left in them. Every so often I will Google something out of curiosity like I did the corn silk and find out how healthy it is for our bodies. You can add avocado seeds to a smoothie if you have a high power blender. The peels of most foods are highly nutritious. The seeds of many foods are high in antioxidants etc. Many edible items are excellent for lowering blood pressure, building immunity, and overall health. Why throw away something that can benefit your body? It isn't about starvation it's about health. I'd rather eat healthy foods than pay for doctor's appointments and chemical medicines with side effects.

Ours is 1,500 watts, but I think the corn could stand to be a cooked a little less than when we run it for four full minutes. I'd suggest trying an ear somewhere between 4 and 5 minutes and see what you think. You can always adjust the next time as you get used to your particular oven. My guess is that you'll find the sweet spot (sorry for the pun lol) somewhere in that range.
@davidoickle1778
@davidoickle1778 11 ай бұрын
You are correct. It's not a lineal calculation. If one cob takes 4 minutes, 3 cobs don't require 12 minutes. Depending on the wattage if your microwave oven, you’ll eventually figure it out. I’ve been cooking this way for years, but I do soak then in fresh water first, to make steam inside the husk.
