Recipe for the Easiest Way to Cook Corn –> In the Microwave!

By Julie Lanford MPH, RD, CSO, LDN 

We shared this recipe at the survivor cooking workshop that I hosted last week with Chef Don, of The Stocked Pot. Everyone commented on their evaluations about the corn in the microwave recipe! So I figured I would go ahead and get the recipe out to my website followers.

Why Julie Cooks Corn in the Microwave

When my mother-in-law told me you could cook corn in the microwave, I wasn’t sure how much easier it would be than boiling. And then I read more into it. It’s WAY easier!!

Part of the great thing about making corn this way is that you do not have to prep the corn AT ALL. You take the corn, completely in it’s husk, and you stick it in the microwave just like that.

Then, when you take it out, you cut off the bottom, hold on to the “hair” on top and wiggle until the corn pops out, free of it’s husk and strings. It’s ready to eat, or to be cut off the cob. Sometimes I microwave it just to be able to cut it off and have it ready for tossing into recipes that week.

I can even do 3 or 4 ears at a time in the microwave. It’s so simple! 

Let me know what you think!
