    Our method is more simple. Husk, wrap in waxed paper, microwave for
    three minutes, rotate and do 3 more.

    I do hope that fresh corn season will come soon -- but doubt that it
    will be less than two+ months away.

    I suppose you could also put corn in this recipe. Either frozen off the
    cob, or sliced off of fresh cobs.

    We fix Corn On The Cob like this:
    Husk the Corn
    Blanch
    put them in the freezer

    I lot of people posted some alternatives but I think they missed
    the point. Their methods were all for fresh not frozen corn.

    It is indeed important to blanch corn before freezing it to
    deactivate enzymes present in it so that it keeps well.

    (I like to do fresh corn on the grill or in the microwave in the
    husk. I discard the coarse dark green leaves but sometimes like to
    save the more tender pale yellow inner leaves and make a corn husk
    broth from them for a soup base.)

    I guess it's too cold in Lithuania to grow corn. My word search came
    up with this though.

    Dry freshly picked acorns at room temperature for a couple of days.

    acorns from milk and blot dry, saute in a dry skillet until golden
