The fastest way to cook corn

Pictured Recipe: Garlic Butter Campfire Corn

Everyone loves sweet summer corn but it’s not always the quickest side dish especially if you’re in a hurry. It’s not that it takes long to cook (all of the methods here take 10 minutes) but the prep work of shucking combined with the painstaking task of removing all the loose silk that remains on the cob can make it one of the most maintenance-intensive vegetables out there—unless you microwave it.

Cooking corn in the microwave is the only method that eliminates the need to pre-open the husk because the corn is cooked right in the husk. And when it’s done the husk and silk just slide right off as if by magic making it by far the fastest (and least messy!) way to cook corn. We offer two other cooking methods though because nothing beats the smoky flavor of corn fresh off the grill. And if you don’t mind shucking and cooking corn you can cook multiple ears at once with this method.
