Pull tassles and leaf ends off. Save.

Put in microwave on 100% for 4-5 minutes. When done, let sit for a minute.

With your knife and a potholder (unless you are fast) cut the cob at the stem shoulder.

Hold the thin, tassle end and shake or squeeze the cob from the husk.

Notice the silks are gone!

You now have a perfectly steamed and crispy corn on the cob ready for handles, butter and seasoning...

2 warnings...

First, it will be hot, so devour with caution...

Second, it is really good, so make extra to share...

Add 30-60 seconds for each extra in the microwave at the same time.

Clean-Up

Be sure to toss the remains into your spare pig or compost bin. Our dog loves the Cob Chew Toy, too!

This makes less landfill from the grocery store from all the peelings and leaves left by unknowing shoppers...

bon eats!
