I'm not always engulfed in scandals, but when I am, I make sure I blame others.

I love stuff like that. My question now is, is that corn ready to eat after 8 minutes in the microwave, or does that just de-husk it, and it still needs to be boiled or otherwise prepared?
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

- Thomas Jefferson

My thought too.

One can shuck about a bushel of corn in eight minutes.

The deal with corn is, most everyone overcooks it. It can be eaten raw. When cooking it, basically all you're looking to do is get it hot enough to melt butter and keep warm after taking it off the heat long enough to finish supper. Usually about 5 minutes boiling is spot on.  ::thumbsup::

So, though I've never microwaved corn, I'd think that after 8 minutes it will have steamed in the husk enough to be hot and would therefore, be ready to eat.

Yes, eventually.

I'd can most of it.

8 minutes is plenty of time to cook it all the way through. It does take longer in the microwave than one may think. If you cooked that much corn shucked and  off the cob, it would take about 2 1/2 minutes. The only problem with microwaved corn is that it tends to cook the inside of the kernel first. Then you end up with some kernels wrinkled and dried out.  ::puke::
I love to soak mine in water for a couple of minutes and then grill them with the husks on. I bet if I cut the base off after grilling them, it would shuck the same as microwaving.  ;D

I suspect you are correct, and plan to test this thesis soon.

My favorite corn preparation is the kernels cut off the cob, and then scrapings of the cob.  Simmer this with flour and sugar, and the grease drippings from fatback.  I would starve to death if I had to leave the South.

It a refreshing change of pace to see a video without butt crack, tramp stamps or any other trademarks of feral humanity.
