I have some fresh, uncooked corn on the cob that is already husked. Any suggestions on a speedy method or recipe for cooking it? Can you cook it on the George Foreman? I don't really have time to wit for the water to boil and the time for the corn to cook (we like ours tender). There isn't a lot of it, just a few ears.
Thanks for the help!!!

I found you can spray the raw corn with melted butter, wrap in saran, and zap it in the microwave for 6-7 minutes and it will be done perfectly. Just add your salt and pepper. Can't get any faster than that. You can also do that with corn in the husks. The 6-7 minutes is for 4 ears - any more and you will need to increase the time a little.

Corn is best eaten as soon as possible after picking as the sugar starts to turn into starch very rapidly immediately after picking so get the freshest fresh picked corn as you can preferably from a roadside farm stand near the edge of the corn fields. You can cook them a bunch of ways; Husk the ears and boil in lightly salted water until tender Leave them in the husk but soak in water for about a half hour and toss on the BBQ - Turn them often until done - don't overcook Husk them and put on the BBQ - watch out they may burn and char a bit - will still be good though Baste with butter and some seasoning too if you wish Husk them and wrap in foil with salt, pepper, & butter and toss on the BBQ Husk the ears and place on a cookie or baking tray and cook/roast in the overn - don't overcook

Now you are talking about my kind of food. I am a corn on the cob fanatic. The method short of boiling I like best and is quickest is a bit like the microwave methods described below, however I like mine better. I take a cob and roll into a paper towel sheet then run the whole thing under the faucet to moisten. Then place in the microwave for 3 minutes per ear. I like to roll them half way through to insure uniform cooking. If only doing one ear I leave it a total of 5 minutes.
The corn will be tender and moist. This also prevents the problem of cooking too many ears and having leftovers.

Fastest Way To Cook Corn

Butter each ear, lightly add fresh ground pepper - NO SALT
Wrap each ear individually in cling film, fully and completely - twist the ears so the ends are also completely encased in the wrap and there will be no leaks.
Place all the wrapped ears into the microwave on a plate. Cook them on high for two minutes; after times up, change them around on the plate and microwave for another two minutes.
Allow to sit for at least four or five minutes before attempting to handle - they will be very hot. Be careful to avoid a steam burn when removing the wrap.
The corn will have steam-cooked themselves in their own corn liquid. The flavor will be very intense - enjoy!
Cheers

I honestly wouldn't use a George Foreman grill (it's not actually a grill) if my life depended on it. I bought one, used it twice, threw it away. As for corn on the cob.... on a griddle? Absolutely not!! Add some sugar to the water and boil it for just about 5 minutes. I don't know where you are, but corn season is well passed here in CT, so I wouldn't have corn on the cob this time of year, even if I saw it in the store.

put water in large enough pot for water to cover the corn(out of shucks) bring water to a boil - put ears of corn in boiling water - boil for approximately 3 to 5 minutes - cut off heat to pot --remove pot from direct heat - let stand in hot water appeoximately 5 minutes - remove corn - it will be safe to leave corn in the hot water for a few minutes -this is a very quick way to cook corn on the cob - if u think corn is not done, prick one grain with fork - it should be solid - left-over corn can be put in microwave oven - and heated for 15-20 seconds - over-cooking will make corn tough.
do not use george foreman - corn will be tough and not uniform -
