Candy's Corn Shortcut

After I posted last week about my lazy girl way to microwave ears of corn (click here for that post) Candy sent me this even easier trick:

"Leave corn in husk, put in microwave for 4 minutes per ear (only do 2 ears at a time for a total of 8 minutes). Remove from microwave and using hot pads (super hot!) to hold the ear, cut off the bottom including about 1/2" of corn, then shake out the ear by holding the top (with a hot pad). Voila! No shucking!"

There are several examples on youtube you can search for if you want to watch a demo.

Cool! Thanks Candy  :)

PS: this post title made me chuckle - instead of "candy corn" it's "Candy's Corn" ;)

Microwave Corn Shortcut

Today it's a quickie kitchen tip for making corn if you don't already know this...

When you only need to cook a couple ears, wrap them individually in microwavable plastic wrap, poke a couple holes in them to vent, and microwave until done. I'll do 2 or 3 minutes and check them, add more time if needed. Super easy and no pot to wash :)
