Maybe all corn on the cob is easy to prepare, but I think this method of cooking is not only easy, but may be the best tasting corn on the cob around.
Need: Microwave and a microwaveable container with lid, large enough to hold cobs in husk
Ingredients: corn on the cob - in husk
To Cook: Trim up outside of husks so the cobs will fit into microwaveable container with lid on
Microwave Time Scale: 1 cob = 5 minutes, 2 cobs = 9 minutes add 1 minute for every additional cob
Once microwave is finished remove container from microwave, be careful, it could be hot. Cobs can handle staying in the container for an extra minute or two if you are not ready to plate them yet. I'd recommend removing the lid, so they do not continue to steam. Once ready, carefully pull husks back. You can either remove them completely or for a unique presentation, I braid the pieces together for a rustic look. The silky threads will usually come off in one big piece (how simple is that).
I will assume you like your corn on the cob with butter and salt :). An easy way to do this is butter the plate, with a stick of butter and sprinkle with salt (I like Kosher, but you can use your favorite). Place cobs on plate and roll around. Apply more butter and sprinkle with salt to your taste.
I hope you enjoy this quick and easy side dish as much as my family.
