My wife and I started using this technique last week and it works as advertised. If you have a low powered apartment type microwave like we do you must increase the time by about 50%.

I'm not getting any sound, Buzz.

Is it 2 ears for 8 minutes on high, and both ears are cooked?

I feel sorry for those that have done it differently. . . this is the only way I have dealt with whole ear corn for years. makes life just a little easier, especially if you love fresh corn as much as I do.

 

[dansdiamond]

I'm sorry your not getting sound. 4 minutes per ear of corn.
8 Minutes for two. cut the bottom off at the thick part, Corn slips right out of the husk clean, no strings. Ready to eat.

Great video, many thanks for posting. Yeah, we love fresh corn. Now even easier to fix. CF

I wonder if this will work on the BBQ as well???

 

[ChowderMan]

>>on the BBQ / grill

yes - soak the ears in cold water about an hour, then grill. rotate now and then.

basically the ears steam and the silk comes away almost as cleanly as demo'd with the microwave.

Thank chowderman.

Can anyone tell me why it is getting so hared to find Yellow Corn- Or is it just a California thing!

Well crops are doing poorly this year. No water and very hot temps are wreaking havoc on farmers.

Tried this with two ears of corn, and by God it does work!!

I never knew this. Thanks!

The ears did absolutely everything the video promised, except the corn wasn't done..........

Fran and I found that we had to vary the cooking time to compensate for different sized ears. It worked great once we got the hang of it and now it's the only way we cook corn.

On the grill, I don't soak at all. I put the corn on rotate 90 degrees every fifteen minutes for 45 min. Throw my reverse sear steaks on over the coals (Corn on the side). When the steak is done so is the corn. I will use this for peeling the corn though.

I like how Rachel Ray shucks corn.

Should we edit the thread title to Corn Sex?

What?

 

[Squirrel]

Great tip! I'll give that a shot.

The Ray Ray video was a hoot. Don't think I could do that with a straight face. Tells more about my character than I wanted you to know.

I foolishly tried this for the first time tonight on BOTH of my last 2 ears of farm stand corn.

8 minutes on high ... they were WAY, WAY overcooked! They had the taste and texture of frozen corn ... YUCK!

I'm willing to experiment with the technique again, though, since it was so easy.
