Microwave Corn on the Cob

SUBMITTED BY: Cheri Weiner  PHOTO BY: Scotdog Supporting Member (Click to learn more about Supporting Membership)

"This is a no-nonsense recipe for corn on the cob. Perfect for when you run out of stove or grill space. I freeze the corn on the cob in plastic bags, and remove a single ear of frozen corn in the cold winter months to have the sweet taste of summer corn throughout the year!"
