Corn On Cob In Microwave Wax Paper
Are you in a hurry and want to cook corn on the cob quickly and easily? Then try cooking corn on the cob in the microwave using wax paper. This method is easy, fast, and produces tasty corn on the cob that is evenly cooked.
Ingredients:
- 2 ears of corn
- 2 pieces of wax paper that are about 12 inches long
- Butter, salt, pepper, and any other seasoning (optional)
Instructions:
- Take 2 ears of corn and remove the husks and silks from the ears. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry them with a paper towel.
- Now, wrap each ear of corn in a piece of wax paper. It's important to wrap the corn tightly so that it doesn't dry out in the microwave.
- Place the wrapped corn on a microwave-safe plate and put it in the microwave.
- Set the microwave to high power and cook the corn for 3 to 5 minutes. Cooking times may vary depending on how powerful your microwave is, and how many ears of corn you are cooking at once. Start with 3 minutes and then increase the cooking time by 1-minute intervals until the corn is fully cooked.
- Once the corn is cooked, carefully remove it from the microwave using oven mitts or a towel, as it will be hot. Remove the wax paper from the corn, add butter, salt, pepper, and any other seasoning you'd like, and serve.
Tips:
- If you want to cook more than 2 ears of corn at once, you can wrap each one in its own piece of wax paper and place them all on a large microwave-safe plate.
- If you prefer your corn to be slightly charred, you can remove the wax paper from the corn and place it on the grill or a hot pan for a few minutes. This will give the corn a nice smoky flavor and a slightly charred appearance.
- If you're cooking frozen corn, you can use this same method, but you'll need to cook it for a few extra minutes to ensure that it's fully cooked.
Conclusion:
Using wax paper to cook corn on the cob in the microwave is a fast and easy way to enjoy this delicious vegetable. With just a few simple steps, you can have perfectly cooked corn on the cob with little mess and fuss. So next time you're in a hurry or don't feel like firing up the grill or boiling water, consider trying this method for a quick and easy alternative.
