Easy Sweet Corn

Marsha, from The Better Baker, told how she prepares sweet corn

and it looked too easy to be for real! No big pot of boiling water

to heat up your kitchen in the summer? Could this be true?

These ears go into the microwave and steam in their own

husks and are ready to eat in 8 minutes.

They were tender and delicious and perfectly done.

*******

First, take a pair of kitchen shears and cut off the darkened

silk and leaves from the top.

It should look like this. Then peel off layers of husk until you have just a couple layers covering the ears.

Place ears 4 at a time on a wet paper towel.

Microwave on high for 4 minutes.

Turn ears over and cook another 4 minutes.

Look how easy the husk and silk comes off all in one piece!

They are ready to eat!

And if you want to cut it off the cobs, the easiest way is to stand

each ear in the center of a tube pan. Cut from top to bottom and

let the kernels fall into the pan. Rotate the ear and cut until

you have removed all of the kernels. I did this to 4 dozen

ears of Silver King today and put it in the freezer.

Thank you, Marsha!

Yum!
