This has to be the quickest and easiest way to cook corn, and it usually turns out very well. Be sure to turn the corn halfway through, as indicated in the instructions, and allow it to stand at least a few minutes

Ingredients
  • 1 ear corn in husk
Servings: person
Units:
Instructions
  1. Place corn in the microwave, still in the husk. If preparing more than one ear, do a maximum of two at a time, and make sure there’s plenty of room between the cobs to ensure that they will cook evenly.
  2. Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Turn over and cook another 2 minutes on high. Let stand a few minutes then carefully peel back the top few inches of the husk to check for doneness.
  3. Be sure to cool before shucking or you’ll burn yourself!
Recipe Notes

SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

  • Roll in butter.
  • Soften some butter, then stir in your favorite herbs or spices. Try rosemary, fresh chives or tarragon, basil, nutmeg, chili powder, or smoked paprika. Chill and serve on the side, or place a dollop on the corn.
  • Squeeze lime juice over the corn and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add smoked paprika or chili powder if desired.

When we simmer a chicken in water (see our recipe for Slow Cooked Chicken) we end up with a pot full of rather bland chicken broth. No problem! Once we’ve removed the meat, we add the carcass back to the broth, throw in some vegetables and make a rich and complex bone broth. You can…
