Corn on the Cob - New Easy Way

(1/1)

Canadian John:

 Easy for sure. New to me, and I hope for a lot of you as well.

 1/ Leave the ears exactly as they are. No soaking, shucking*.

 2/ Place on the pit and cook as usual. I go ~ 3/4 HR @ 350º, turning and rotating once.

 3/ This is the new part. Using a sharp knife and a cutting board cut the stem end off the ear ~ one row of kernels in. Now squeeze the ear at the other end where the silk protrudes. The kernelled cob slides

 right out leaving the husks and silk. Somewhat like squeezing a watermelon seed..
 
 *By not shucking or soaking the flavour and moisture is locked in.

Bar-B-Lew:
3-4 minutes in the microwave using the same method for me

Conumdrum:
Thanks for posting this for folks.

Yep!  I have done that for a few years!  It's awesome!  I use the 'shake' method over the sink, and get the same result.  You only need to hold the silk and top leaves, it's less hot corn handling!

In a pinch, I put two corns in the microwave and go for 6 minutes and then to the 'corn shake'  It's nice when you are making fried cod and fries and not smokin' meat.
