Corn on the cob...
#7394878 - 09/11/07 02:17 AM (16 years, 4 months ago) |
|
|
Alright so I've always boiled my corn on the cob for as long as I can remember and cannot imagine it being cooked any better. Recently somebody recommended that I put an ear on a plate, seal it in plastic wrap, and microwave it for 2 mins and 15 secs. I've never heard of this being done before and would like to see the general consensus on boiling vs microwaving corn on the cob. Sure grilling in tinfoil is another method but that is not in question here. Boiling vs Microwaving corn on the cob.

When I eat it at home it is usually boiled, but the best way IMO and the one you didn't include, grilled.

All, let me say that again, ALL fresh vegetables should be cooked in the microwave.
No water added, just heated to the proper tenderness.
Broccoli, Green beans, Carrots, and ESPECIALLY Corn on the Cob!
There are some exceptions to the rule, like caramelized onions, or wok-cooked veggies, but corn?
NUKE IT!!!

What method do you use for grilling your corn on the cob? (Do you wrap in tinfoil and toss it on the grill or what?)

You either had bad corn to begin with, or it was overcooked.
Any more than 2:15 per ear ruins it.
I've been microwaving corn on the cob for over 15-20 years. There's no better way to cook it. I'll never boil corn again, EVER!

It was soft corn when it went in, seemed kinda bad, but it was just really bad when it came out. I've never had boiled corn taste as bad as that though. Maybe I'll give it another try with some better corn.

That's where they grow corn for animal feed! That fat yellow mealy crap!
There's no better corn grown in the country than what's grown in the northeast (New England, mainly) is famous for its native "Butter & Sugar" corn.

actually their are studys that say it has merit.
and to date, their is no way to prove a microwave causes cancer, because it could happen over time, continuous/longterm exposer.
it is also said, that microwaves change the nutrients in food, into a form our body can't easily recognize. the consequences are unknown. something about damaging our DNA as well.

or maybe it causes cancer, or maybe its being used as a form of mind control, google it.
the gov. did studys on the effect of microwaves and the mind, something about people are more eazily controlled.
no conspiracy theory if the goverment used tax dollars and spent years researching it.
it does alot more than magicly cook food in minutes. there is always consiquences for going against nature, and thats a rule.

people always make a big deal about what method they use to cook the corn, but i say it doesn't matter at all. what flavor are you honestly getting into your corn by cooking on a propane grill or from boiling in a pot of water? none i tell you. it's just corn.

Those were experiments on beaming the actual microwaves into someone's head.
As no microwaves escape a (properly) working microwave oven....the govt research on the subject has no effect here.

That is very true 
Notice how every microwave includes a metallic screen on the door? Now notice how small the holes in the screen are?
Realize that the wavelength of the microwaves used is 12.24 cm...
In effect, that little screen appears to be a solid wall to any microwave that hits it. The microwave just turns around and continues to bounce around inside the oven.

There is no half-life for microwaves 
Assuming a properly working microwave oven...the oven can only go on producing microwaves for 0.01-0.1 seconds after the beep or after the door is opened. As you couldn't get the door more than off it's latch in that time...I don't think you have to worry about microwaves

You have to grill it with hickory chips (or logs if you got em). And you MUST leave the husks on until it is cooked.
And I actually steam my vegies if I am not grilling them. No flavor lost, no nutritional loss, no color loss, and so perfectly cooked.
