When I was in elementary school, my parents ran a cafe. One day they had corn on the cob, and I was hungry. I ate 13 of the ears - size was like what you get at KFC the shorties.

Any way, Dad wouldn’t let me eat any more-said I might get sick and I should eat something else if I was still hungry.

You can freeze that corn right in the husk and then cook it in the husk in the microwave too.

For fresh corn, I take two ears and wrapped waxed paper around them - twist the ends of the paper. Put into the microwave for about 1.5-2 minutes. Your microwave may need more or less time.

Take them out using potholder gloves. Chop off the stem end with a knife. Grab hold of the tassel end and shake till the cob falls out. The silks and everything will stay with the husk-no precleaning needed.

I think I could live on corn-on-the-cob with butter and salt and pepper (maybe some paprika too) 5 days a week. About 3 a day in one sitting per day.
