Wrapping corn in a damp paper towel and throwing it in the microwave for five minutes is so much easier than boiling it in a big pot for 20 minutes.

    Corn needs 1m in boiling water. Not 20.

  • TBH the best corn on the cob I've had the pleasure to encounter was fire grilled {in husk, resheathed after silk removed}, but the standard I've known for home grown sweetcorn is ~90s in low boiling water. Any longer makes it dull and unnecessarily mushy.

    i think it’s even easier to use a microwave and a colander. the colander will also last a whole lot longer than a roll of paper towels.
