Ingredients
- 1 corn on the cob husks off, string removed, and cut in half
- 16 oz frozen corn kernels OR
Instructions
FRESH CORN ON THE COB:
- Pour 2 tablespoons of water into a deep microwave-safe dish, big enough to fit your corn.
- Add the corn, making sure it lays firmly against the bottom of the dish.
- Cover the dish tightly with some plastic wrap, and poke a vent hole using a fork, allowing the steam to escape.
- Cook the corn on high for about 5-6 minutes (add extra 3-5 minutes if the cob was frozen), or until is cooked through and turned bright yellow. If needed, poke a fork onto the kernels. The time will vary depending on the potency of your microwave.
- Remove the plastic wrap and use tongs to remove the cobs from the dish and serve.
FROZEN CORN KERNELS:
- Read the package to verify whether you can microwave the frozen corn kernels in the bag. Or transfer the frozen corn kernels to a microwave-safe dish, deep and big enough to spread evenly the kernels against the bottom of the dish.
- Add about 2 tablespoons of water to the dish.
- Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap, and poke a vent hole using a fork.
- Cook the frozen corn kernels on high for about 3-4 minutes, or until is cooked through and turned bright yellow. The cook time will vary depending on the potency of your microwave.
- Remove the plastic wrap, drain the water using a strainer, and serve.
Notes
- Canned corn comes already cooked. However, you will have to drain the liquids using a strainer and rinse the kernels under running water. Heat them before eating or use them to make salads.
