How do you like to make your corn on the cob?

[@sandybarnes887]

Never have it, way too expensive

The "Tassels " are on top of the cornstalk. Those hairs are called silks !

[@mfrenchcazenovia]

Thank you.

[@QballIL]

Silk. The tassel is on top of the plant, and is the source of the pollen that fertilizes the silks.

[@sphlouge]

I eat it right from the field. I never cook it. So much flavor, way more flavor, than cooking it . Yummmmmmmmmmm

[@tvc184]

Microwave 3-4 minutes with husk intact. Cut off the stem end, grab the silk and squirt it out of the husk. No wrapping or soaking needed. The husk insulates and steams the cob perfectly.

[@jimmorrison714]

That's chef John from food wishes technique.

[@richardmanginelli2624]

I have try doing what you said cutting off the end and squirting out, sounds good

[@SimRacingVeteran]

Boil it. Butter it. Salt it. Pepper it. Boom done.

[@og-greenmachine8623]

Pepper?😐

[@kennethverkest6717]

I soak mine in a 5 gallon bucket of water before I put it on the grill and I leave it in the husk

[@antonbruce1241]

Also s damned good way to cook it....

[@marly-paigepetersen]

Boil in milk water and butter. Pure heaven.

[@clemzahrobsky2137]

i soak mine in cold water for about an hour and put it into the microwave for 4 minutes per ear and it steams because of the water in the husks from soaking.

[@kathleenmayhorne3183]

I don't peel mine, and won't buy it if the end is already cut off. I use the husk as a handle.

[@ezeatery]

I just throw it in the air fryer now. You can wrap it in foil for a more boiled effect or straight on the racks for more grilled effect. Quick and easy.

[@Jobub1]

I couldn't get through the whole video. The narrator has Vocal Fry at the end of every sentence and this drives me bonkers

Caveman it on charcoal with husk on til it's charred and smokey

[@glennaa11]

I only need 1 at a time so I microwave it in the husk for 2:30 and let it stand for a minute or two to cool down a little before shucking. The silk just pulls right off too.

[@TRMV]

See my reply above.

[@rebeccarowe4201]

You need to pull the husks down a little to check for worms.

[@janhawk3115]

Oh...but if you haven't tried grilling your "rosnears" a whole nother taste sensation! 😋

[@whatweather]

If you’re worried about freshness and opening the husk at the grocery store, just buy it the day you want to use it. Like seafood. Not really a big deal.

[@lyndarocha8846]

I boil them and they come out just fine. No need to get fancy schmancy.

[@mygirldarby]

Steaming is much better.

[@deBASHmode]

Wrap it in wax paper, twist the ends and nuke on high for 4 minutes. Faster than other methods and it tastes so good.

[@mygirldarby]

Why do people say "nuke" for microwave? There's nothing nuclear about it, lol. It doesn't make any sense.

If you don't pull the husk back how do you know if the sweet corn is juicy? How do you know if the corn cob has worms in it? And I've never been to a store that has signs saying do not pull the husks back. You don't know what your talking about!

[@fredvp]

Worms are added protein

[@jimmorrison714]

I just steam the ears for 5 minutes. Simple and delicious.

[@51hankyspanky7]

With husk on, rinse under cool water and microwave for about 1 - 1 1/2 minutes. Using oven gloves, hold the ear and start to gently grasp and slowly pull the silk group from the top. This usually removes 99% of the silk! then peel off the husk, and butter, salt, and pepper (or spices if you wish). E Z P Z. 👍‍🌽🌽🌽

[@grayboo212]

Actually, if you just cut off a half inch or so of the stalk end, you can then squeeze the silk end like a tube of toothpaste and the corn will come right out, virtually silk free.

[@ElrohirGuitar]

Boil for 3 minutes, roll in butter and salt well. Eat right away.

[@gli7utubeo]

Sounds good, but are you supposed to use plastic wrap in the microwave? I thought that was bad because of carcinogens from the plastic. Maybe a glass bowl would work? Has anyone tried this? Thanks.

[@festerofest4374]

Just nuke it right in the husk. The husk peels off super-easy after cooking, so it’s really saving you a couple of steps that way.

[@nascar88gyrl]

If you feel the need to wrap it before you microwave it, use waxed paper. Cheap and safe in the microwave.

[@kctaz6189]

I'm pretty sure I've read you don't want plastic wrap touching your food in the microwave. Something about carcinogens being released by the microwaves. I leave the husks on and wrap in a damp paper towel for 3 minutes depending on size, then, into foil and let sit for 3-5 minutes.
