MISSISSIPPI CORN COOKING FOR 2 OR 3

Baking corn during the summer season is the most wonderful, easy and delicious way to cook sweet corn on the cob for a family or a crowd.  However, I am now alone with just Izzy and I don't want to put the oven on for a half hour for one or two ears of corn.  Izzy does like corn and can be quite sneaky in trying to get a cob for herself.  The problem is corn doesn't like Izzy.  Soon, it is "Mom!! Urp, slop, bring the mop!"

When Tom's cousin, Joyce, was here from Mississippi, she told me about her corn grower's best microwave recipe for cooking corn on the cob for a few people.  The farmer who grows Joyce's corn, not only delivers it to her door, he tells her how he thinks it should be cooked.   His method for microwaving fresh corns works well.

Corn that is cooked in its shuck is much easier to clean.  Shucking uncooked corn takes much longer and it is much more difficult to remove the silks.


MISSISSIPPI FARMER'S MICROWAVED SWEET CORN ON THE COB

1 to 5 cobs of corn
Condiments of your choice


To fit the corn in my microwave, I cut off the very top of the corn and the bottom.  Place corn in the microwave and cook on HIGH for three minutes.  Turn corn over and cook for another 3 minutes on HIGH.  Remove the corn from the microwave and shuck.

 Sweet corn on the cob straight from the Farmer's Market.

To make the corn fit in a microwave better, trim off very top and bottom of the cob.

Place corn in the microwave.  Cook for three minutes on HIGH.  Turn corn over.  Cook for another three minutes.  

 Shuck corn.  See how the silk just slips off the corn.

 Corn ready to serve.

 Add condiments of choice.  The corn from the Farmer's Market is so fresh, I just eat it as is.  I don't add anything to it.

Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!
