This method of cooking preserves all the flavour and nutrients as it steams in its own natural covering leaves. Each cob is cooked on its own.

Method:

1. Remove the very tough outer leaves from the cob leaving the cob totally covered with fresh looking leaves.

2. Trim the beard and stem.

3. Place in the microwave and cook for 4 minutes.

4. Leave to stand for about 6 minutes until it is cool enough to handle. Remove the leaves and beard from the cob being careful not to be scalded by the steam.

5. Enjoy! And there are NO PANS to WASH UP.

This method was recommended to me from Ana Cors, plot 127B. Thank you Ana – its brilliant.
