Just so you know, the world's best corn on the cob was made tonight. By me.
Do tell my friend.
Butter, paprika, salt, and perfectly cooked.
If you like a bit of spice replace the paprika for chilli flakes and you'll love it.
Working the kids up to chilli by way of paprika
The little hoons will get there eventually.
What's your tip for perfectly cooked corn on the cob? I generally like steaming from 7-10 minutes depending on the cob
4 min in the microwave. Husk on. If no husk, then in glass microwave proof container no water. If doing more than one at a time, add 2 min per cob. Eg. 4 cobs would be 4 min + 2 min for each additional = 10 min... Add paprika, butter, chilli etc after cooked and whilst sitting covered in said container for a minute or two.
Cheers. I'll have to give it a go in the microwave some time, my steaming basket is usually too small to fit most cobs whole.
