Tips from Tish - Corn on the Cob

Cooking Corn on the Cob the Tish way

Cooking corn with its leaves on results in more corn flavor, whether you microwave it or grill it.

Remove the outer dark green leaves.
Fold back the pale green leaves and remove the silk.

I like mine plain, for the great fresh corn flavor, but you can....
Optional: brush with oil, butter, margarine, salt and pepper... whatever

Close the leaves back up over the corn.

Microwave 2 minutes on high for each ear, for up to 4 ears at a time.
Or
For a smoky, roasted corn flavor, grill and char the leaves, turning as needed.

I leave the leaves on, and just peel them back and use them as a handle
