No comment other than to say microwaved corn is very quick and easy.

Yeah, but you can't get the char on it. I love charred corn on the cob.

No char that way. I cook mine on the on the grill (not under the grill, BTW).

Under the grill? I have never heard of that method. I have seen my husband drop things under the grill when he has had too much to drink

It's a British thing -- they call a broiler a "grill." I have to clarify what I mean by "grill" in my posts, or I will confuse some Brits.

You mean what we would refer to as a "salamander" (not not the amphibian that resembles a newt)?

No, I mean the broiler in your oven. A salamander is very similar, but it is a stand-alone cooking appliance, more appropriate for restaurant kitchens.

Ohhhhkay then, LOL. It's an oven broiler. I would never call it a grill, but I fully realize (realise LOL) that there are many different meanings to words between Murican English and UK English...

I've got a big enough kitchen I wouldn't mind having a salamander. I think they sell smaller ones more suitable for home kitchens.

Nope - but it can be blow-torched. Of course if you have an outdoor BBQ/grill its a great way to cook it.

My preferences for corn-on-the-cob:

1. Boiled like my mom did it, with a lot of milk, sugar, and salt in the water.
2/3/4. Tied between outside grill, oven broiler, and air fryer.
5. Microwave.

With you on 1-3 (although I´ve never heard of milk and sugar added)
#4 Haven´t got one, so impossible.
#5 - Nah.

I forgot to mention the big knob of butter as well!

I´ll pass on the big knob...

You're just prejudiced. It comes out beautifully juicy and fresh from the microwave. I prefer it from a BBQ/ outdoor grill. But if you are going to boil them whole I think you might as well microwave them.

What's wrong with big knobs? Have you been over to the "What are you wearing today" thread to check out TR's most recent photo?
