   We’ve been doing this for years. Really easy and delicious. Because it’s so hot, I use a silicone glove to hold it when removing husks. Another easy veg to cook in the microwave is squash. I cut the ends off summer squash and wrap them in plastic wrap. Place them on a dish or bowl to catch the liquid and microwave for about 5-7 min, or until they’re soft when you press them. Unwrap, split down the middle and serve with butter, salt and pepper, plus sour cream and/or grated Parmesan cheese. SO good!

   I’ve heard instapot/crockpot is the best for corn, have never microwaved it, will try.

   Have you tried cabbage in the microwave? I cut it up, put it in pampered chef steamer, add some butter, sea salt, pepper and a little bit of water. Cook on high for 10 minutes. It is great.

   Yes, this is THE BEST! This is hands down the easiest way to have corn on the cob. Beware: other people will think you are totally weird for doing it. We made the corn this way at my father-in-law’s house for a Father’s Day bbq, I’m pretty sure my brother-in-law had decided that I am not to be trusted alone in the kitchen. I had to throw out some street cred and explain that they do it that way on Food Network 😂

   I only cook corn in the microwave now. I don’t actually cut the ends at all beforehand. It goes in just like you got it from the store and put on a plate. When it onlinees out it’s hot so you need an oven mitt or hot pad but you cut the thicker end off. Next squeeze the skinny end like the corn is giving birth. It will pop right out with no mess or strings. If it does not onlinee out easily it means you didn’t cut enough off the end. That’s the best way I can explain it.

  If you buy corn at Aldi, you can do this too but wrap it in a paper towel since it’s already out of the husk.

   My wife started cooking corn (in the husk) in the oven this summer since she can fit a lot more ears. The family love it.

  That’s what I do too. Just throw them on a pan and cook on high heat to get that roasted taste. It will even get the brown marks so turn it to get more. And all the silk onlinees right off with the husk.

   Instead of peeling garlic, I throw it in the pot and cook it with meat or veggies. I peel after. Very tasty and moist.

    Nope nope nopity nope! Ever since I bought some corn at the farmer’s market and discovered a bunch of caterpillars inside the husks, I clean my corn VERY slowly and methodically! No microwave for me!

    Can’t wait to try this. A storm came through last night, but I am hopeful that our corn will bounce back.
