Obviously just not interested in your fandangled machine I Love TM.  I hope they enjoyed their meal though and complimented you on it.

I love to use the leftovers to make corn fritters.

Just egg and SR flour.

Thanks Chookie, I can imagine they would be very tasty.

Made this tonight to go with the pork spare ribs. I should've read the reviews suggesting 15 mins cooking time as I think I would've preferred that too. It was nice however I think I would prefer this with just plain corn instead of cooking it.

I'm not sure how others peel and clean their corn, especially getting rid of the silk however I came across this method but didn't use it (thought I didn't have time but I probably did) so did it without the microwaving part but you need to do that part.

I am going to make this tonight, but when I was reading this thread to review the recipe, I came across this link courtesy of Tasty and gave it try.  OMG this is life-changing!  I LOVE fresh corn.  I HATE removing the corn silk!  I will use this method every single time I cooked corn.  5 mins is way too long for my microwave.  After 3 the corn was quite cooked, so I am going to experiment with shorter cooking times that will hopefully help me remove the silk and also have relatively uncooked corn.  Thank you Tasty for sharing this great tip.

Just cooked a sweetcorn to go with my lunch, tried this method and wow - it's amazing.  I have a little gadget that then removes the corn from the cob so I'm now eating a bowl of lovely sweetcorn.  I cooked a large one for 5 minutes, it was perfect in a 1200W microwave.  Must tell Mum about this one and anyone else that will listen.  Thanks for the bump Lellyj, I'd forgotten about it.

Is the corn fully cooked then?  It's a great idea as I hate getting all the bits off the cob.

[judydawn]

Yes, cooked just as I like it cookie.

Thanks for that. I got 4 cobs for $1.98 today and they look lovely.
