Sautéed Corn

Sautéed Corn

If you have never tried microwaving your corn, you have to try it. It is the easiest way to get the silks off the cob. Once it is cooked it can still be tossed on the grill or added to other recipes. The length of time will vary from 3-5 minutes depending on the size of the corn and the power of your microwave.

The easiest way to cut kernels from the cob is to stand it up in the center of a bundt pan.
