But you do need to know your corn's water content and your microwave's power pretty well . . . Last night we did this (3 fresh farmbox ears took 10 minutes) and then rolled them in butter and farmbox dill . . . We skip the paper towel and leave most of the of the husks on. I’m with Jessica!!

There are very few things I recommend making in the microwave but my favorite way to make corn is in the microwave. You might think I'm crazy but if you're willing to give it a try: Remove most of the outer leaves and silk, leaving just one or two leave layers on. Wrap in a wet paper towel and microwave for 1 to 2 minutes on each side depending on the size of the corn and strength of your microwave. Great picking tips!

If the silk is still moist/damp then the corn inside shouldn't be too dried out yet either. Another good tip when getting your corn from a farmstand is to check the silk to make sure it’s moist.

I just went to an information session about the NP program at a local university in St. Paul, MN. Am still deciding which direction to go.... Secondly, and more importantly, the corn looks beautiful! I've been grilling mine this summer, but you've given me a craving for some good ol' fashioned boiled sweet corn! Thanks for the tips. Jenn-
