I used to steam corn because it kept the flavor in, but I gave this a try and found it seems to taste the same as steamed. The only difference was where I learned this method they cut the end off before cooking. I like this method because it’s soft and easier to slice through..
@AurocheАй бұрын
It tastes the same as steam because you are essentially steaming it inside of the corn husk. The microwave would make the husk into a container for all the moisture coming off the corn as it cooks.

I’ve been cooking corn in the microwave for years. 3 1/2 minutes in my microwave works great. It steams the corn right in the husk. Let it sit afterwards for a minute or two before peeling… then take a stick of butter and rub the end along the corn and apply garlic salt. I like keeping the stem as a handle. I will try cutting the base circumference and peeling the husk like you suggested next time I cook some. Thanks.

You can cook the corn any way you like. Cooking in the microwave is quick and easy. This should work whether you microwave it, boil it etc. It’s not going to work raw because the husk will be too tight on the ear. Thanks for watching. Check out all our farm videos to monitor our crops throughout the growing season.

Thank you. Pro tip: The two ear microwave time is 6 minutes, or 50% more than one, not 8 minutes, double the time of a single ear. Bonus tip: After removal, allow the cooked ears to sit on the plate for 5 minutes or so. They get extremely hot and need to cool down a bit to safely handle them for shuck and silk removal.

Even better: cook the corn in the husk on a charcoal grill, then cut as described in the video. They're done when the tips of the husks are burned and a few of the kernels scorched. If you're camping, you can just toss the ears directly onto a medium spread of hot coals. Me and my son once took 8 ears of corn on a two-night car camping trip. After that first night we had to drive into town to buy more corn!
