Corn on the Cob...in the Microwave!

Cook your fresh corn in the microwave! This simple recipe takes just a few minutes prep time.

Ingredients:
4-5 ears sweet corn
2-3 Tablespoons butter
salt and pepper as desired

Peel back each layer of husk, tearing it off. You'll see the silk threads under the husk, peel those off as well. Under running water in your sink, scrub your dish washing scrubber over the cobs, this will help removing any remaining silks, and clean the corn.

Place cleaned corn in the Deep Covered Baker. Add about 1/2 cup water to the bottom of the dish and cover. This will keep the corn moist.

Microwave on high for about 15-20 minutes or so. The corn should be tender and plump. Be very careful when you take the top off of the baker, steam is going to burst out.

Now, you could serve it on the cob, but I prefer it off, in a bowl. Use a pot holder to hold the hot cob. Place the cob in a medium-sized bowl. Run a sharp knife down each side of the cob, cutting off the kernels. The kernels should pop right off into the waiting bowl. Add the butter to the kernels, stir to melt. Serve hot!
