Fixing Corn On The Cob In The Microwave
Corn on the cob is a staple of summer BBQs and picnics. There's nothing quite like biting into a juicy, sweet ear of corn that's been grilled to perfection. But what do you do when you don't have access to a grill, or when the weather isn't cooperating?
The microwave is a great solution for when you want to fix corn on the cob quickly and easily. Here's how to do it:
Ingredients:
- 1-2 ears of corn
- Plastic wrap
- Bowl or plate
Instructions:
1. Start by removing the husks and silk from the corn. Rinse the corn under cool water to remove any remaining silk. Pat the corn dry with a paper towel.
2. Wrap the corn in plastic wrap. Be sure to cover the entire ear of corn.
3. Place the wrapped corn on a microwave-safe plate or bowl. Microwave the corn on high for 3-5 minutes.
4. Remove the corn from the microwave and carefully remove the plastic wrap. Be careful, as the corn will be hot.
5. Let the corn cool for a few minutes before serving.
Tips:
- For best results, cook only 1-2 ears of corn at a time.
- Make sure the plastic wrap is tightly sealed around the corn to prevent steam from escaping.
- If you like your corn with a little bit of crispness, microwave it for 3 minutes. If you prefer your corn to be more tender, microwave it for 5 minutes.
There you have it - a quick and easy way to fix corn on the cob in the microwave. It may not be quite the same as grilling it outdoors, but it's a great option when you're short on time or don't have access to a grill. Enjoy!
