INDIANA SWEET CORN
Ingredients:
4 ears of Indiana sweet corn
Sea salt to taste
Butter for slathering
Instructions by Boiling:
Fill a stock pot with enough water to cover the corn. Bring it to a boil. Dissolve a tablespoon of salt in the water. Remove outer husk and silk from corn. Rinse corn. Carefully drop each ear into boiling water. Cover with lid and lower heat to medium. Cook 3-5 minutes. Remove with tongs and serve immediately with butter and sea salt.
Instructions for Microwaving:
I cook one ear at a time when I’m only preparing a few ears for a meal. Leave corn in husk. With a sharp knife, cut off the pointed end of the corn cob. Rinse under running water. While the ear of corn is wet, wrap a paper towel around it. The water will moisten the paper towel. Place the ear of corn in the microwave and cook on 100% power for 2-3 minutes. The husk will trap and steam the corn. Watch! Remove from microwave and let sit for a couple minutes. Use the paper towel to carefully shuck the corn. The silks come off easily.
Whichever method you choose, the reward is a taste of sugary-sweet Indiana heaven. Enjoy!

Summer corn is fantastic! Can’t wait for our Jersey corn to be ready….have you ever tried popping the corn in its husk into the microwave for 4 minutes? I’ve tried this twice now and it works great..the corn slides right out of the husks fully cooked and without any silk on it…amazing 🙂

A few years ago a friend told me about shucking an ear of corn then wrapping it in a wet paper towel and microwaving it 3-5 minutes. Your recipe for an ear or two makes it even easier. I can’t wait to try it.
