How long in the microwave? My dumb butt will end up with burnt popcorn.
shalafi71
Depends on microwave strength, but I go 2-3 minutes. You'll have to try it a few times.

I used to go to Iowa every year for a family reunion. We ate a lot of corn. How does nobody know about this?!
TerribleBot
You'll have a huge success next time !

man, how is it that I'm from probably the corn capital of the planet (iowa) and never heard of this shit
TerribleBot
Now spread it !

I cannot wait to try this out this summer! I love microwaved corn on the cob! This is brilliant.

Grandma's like "What? No way. Fuck's sake."
PunnyTiger
before or after you boil it?
MadHatter69
I think this is before (so fresh corn), the leaves would look different if they'd be previously boiled
PunnyTiger
so hard pour corn instead of soft pour corn
deaththeunholy
Since I learned this a few years back it’s the only way I do it now.
Real pros then take the fully cooked cob and slather it in street corn seasonings, hit it with some lime juice, grill on the high heat side of the grill for ~90 seconds while rotating, and finish with butter and maybe a picante mayo/crema
TerribleBot
I fully agree !
circlebreaker
Every corn lover should know this neat trick.

Seriously ripping that stuff off is satisfying as all heck.

also, messy as all heck, so I can see the appeal of this

Omg you missed the corn kid days? He blew up on twitter years ago. He may be in HS by now.

Gramma was right there with you as far as grabbing the furry bit.

My 88 years old grandma, that has always been a housewife, cooks in the most inefficient way.

Do this hack for her, you'll both have fun together !

Shucking corn was a kid's job and you don't give kids a knife big enough to cut the end off an ear of corn
randomwalrus
Unless that kid is named Chucky.
theshinobi23
Chucky's too scared to use a big knife. Tommy, Lil, and Phil, however, would probably be okay with it. I'd be worried about the others if Angelica was given access to one.
RichardPenne
Did they heat them up first?
shalafi71
Yep. Microwave 2-4 minutes.

what they didn't mention here is that you first microwave the corn. That causes steam which is what makes it slide out cleanly. Personally still think that a steam/poach results in better corn. Smoker or bbq is even better... Neither method is that conducive to this though.
Rhythmaster
Yeah microwaved corn on the cob is gonna be mushy and gross, no?
hogeyegrex
That seems like critical information. This is no longer nearly as cool as I thought it was.
RandomDude74575
if i have a corn with husk, that thing going on the grill and im using the husk as a handle to hold so i dont get butter all over me hands.
Eldibs
You should try it deep-fried some time. Literally just shuck it and put it bare into the hot oil (warning, it will cause the oil to pop a LOT, so put a screen or something over it). It's amazing, I first had it at Pappy's Smokehouse in St. Louis, I was like "I have to try cooking this myself."
somebackup
I only deep fry my steaks. If I can get away with a shallow fry I will.
Toqom
Hey, I disagree with you as I think raw corn is the best way to eat it. Tastes buttered and all
somebackup
literally no one thinks raw corn is better

How long do you nuke it?
somebackup
usually 4-6 minutes, depends on how big it is. https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/the_easiest_way_to_microwave_corn_on_the_cob/
Kehy
I think like 6-8 minutes, but we would husk ours and wrap in plastic. A full cob in husk is pretty large and didn't fit the microwave
somebackup
We found as long as the stem is cut to be minimal it tends to fit in our microwave. but it's pretty big
Tom40
Did she learn this on CornHub?
ProfessorMatt
The line "Then you grab the furry bit" makes me think so.
ILoveThiPlatform
I need people to know there is a philadelphia area food truck called corn hub
nothingunused
Well, she did end up with a quite erect cob of corn.
TerribleBot
They may have another usage for corn on that site ...
bubblesuit24601
Giving you a spiritual upvote, but you're currently at 69 which feels cosmically right.
bemibet
The problem with Cornhub is you get a lot of stalkers.
ChicksDigTrucks
I think this qualifies as soft pour corn, not hard pour corn.

Grandma could be an influencer that I might actually follow. And yes, I do want to try this with corn on the cob.
TerribleBot
I plan this for the BBQ in may ...
Isthe4thtimethecharm
As a kid I vowed to never have to shuck corn again. My dad would go way overboard with growing it. There was multiple truck beds full I had to shuck.
Lampmonster
Summer is on the way and I live in Illinois, so I'll be trying this on sweet corn soon.
AsinusAdLyram
Also in IL, it works, I promise! We steam it in the husk then just a hit of salt when it's done, but it's divine well buttered too!
1Megaton
Remember when you could regularly get a dozen ears for a dollar? Miss that.
