Ingredients:
- 6 ears corn
- Butter or buttery spread of choice or Garlic Butter, for serving (optional)
Instructions:
- If the corn does not fit in your microwave, slice off some of the bottoms.
- Place ears of corn in the microwave. Cook on high for 4 minutes per ear, a total of 12 minutes for 3 ears. Repeat with remaining ears of corn.
- Do not shuck the corn. Instead, slice off the end of the ear including about 1/2-inch of corn. From the thin tip of the corn, squeeze out the ear of corn. You'll find that it is almost free of silk.
- Boil a large pot of water.
- Add ears of corn with husk remaining on the cobs. Boil for 10 - 15 minutes or until the kernels become tender. Remove the husks using pot holders. Serve with butter and salt, to taste.
- Preheat the grill for the meat you are cooking.
- The last 15 minutes of cooking the meat, place the cobs in their husks on the grill.
- Cook for 10 - 15 minutes or until the kernels become tender.
- Remove the husks and serve with butter and salt, to taste.
