Easiest Corn on the Cob

This proves something that I’ve known for years: no matter how great a kitchen technique is, unless you use it regularly, you’ll forget about it. This technique for making corn on the cob works perfectly, and I hope you give it a try soon.

Step: 1

Heat corn in the microwave until cooked through and tender, about 3 1/2 minutes.

Step: 2

Hold the tapered end of the corn with a towel over a cutting board. Cut the bottom 1-inch off of the thick end of the cob. Squeeze tapered end of corn cob out of husk and silk.

Step: 3

Spread butter over corn and season with salt.
