Cooking Frozen Corn On Cob In Husk In Microwave
Are you craving corn on the cob but don't have the time or energy to boil a pot of water? Do you have frozen corn on the cob in your freezer but don't know how to cook it? Look no further! Cooking frozen corn on the cob in husk in the microwave is a quick and easy way to enjoy delicious corn on the cob without all the hassle.
Step 1: Prep the Corn
Start by removing the husks and silks from the corn. If you're using frozen corn, it's best to let it thaw before attempting to remove the husks and silks. Rinse the corn under running water to remove any remaining silks. Be sure to dry the corn before proceeding to the next step.
Step 2: Soak the Corn
Fill a bowl with cold water and soak the corn for 10-15 minutes. This will help to prevent the corn from drying out and becoming tough while it's cooking in the microwave.
Step 3: Microwave the Corn
Place the corn in the microwave and cook on high for 4-6 minutes, depending on the wattage of your microwave. If you're cooking multiple ears of corn, add an additional 2-3 minutes of cooking time per ear of corn. Use oven mitts or a kitchen towel to remove the corn from the microwave once it's done cooking.
Step 4: Let the Corn Cool
Let the corn cool for a few minutes before serving. Be careful when removing the husks as the corn will be hot. Serve with butter, salt, pepper, and any other seasoning of your choice.
Tips and Tricks
Here are a few tips and tricks to help you get the most out of your frozen corn on the cob:
- If you don't have time to soak the corn, you can microwave it with a damp paper towel wrapped around it to keep it moist.
- If you want to add some extra flavor to your corn, try brushing it with melted butter or olive oil before microwaving it.
- If you're cooking multiple ears of corn, arrange them in a circular pattern in the microwave to ensure even cooking.
- Don't overcook the corn, as this can make it tough and chewy. Keep a close eye on it while it's in the microwave and adjust the cooking time if necessary.
