• Look for cornflowers that have brown and sticky inflorescences instead of dry, yellow ones. The brown and slightly sticky inflorescence means the corn is ripe.
• Gently twist the cornstarch to feel the kernels inside the shell. The corn kernels should be firm, thick, but not too hard.
• Buy only corn in sufficient quantity for a few days and store in the refrigerator so that the sugar in the kernels does not turn into starch and overcook. With the amount of corn that is too large to be consumed, you can freeze it.

Roast corn popcorn. Roast corn on the High (high temperature) mode for 3-5 minutes, depending on the amount of corn to grill. Baking time is usually 1 minute for 1 maize to 5 minutes for 4 corn.

• If you are baking a lot of corn at a time, you should stop the microwave oven when it has been done for 1/2 of the set time and turn the popcorn over to make the corn even cooked.
• Depending on the size of the corn, you can adjust the baking time from 2-4 minutes for each corn.

Remove the corn from the microwave and let cool. Let the maize with the whole shell cool for about 1 minute or cool enough to touch, at the same time let the corn heat radiate and cook the corn.

• The corn husks will contain a little water, so it won't get too hot.
• However, the water in the corn will evaporate hot and may cause burns. Therefore, be careful and use kitchen gloves or a tongser to handle corn.
• Check corn kernels for sprouting and corn temperature by peeling and touching the kernels or eating them. Pull up on the cover and microwave again if necessary.
• If it is scorched or soft, it means you have overcooked. Please learn from experience in the next baking.

Peel and stubble corn. The popcorn inside the shell and the water-filled stem will be very hot after baking, so be careful to peel the corn so that it won't burn. The bark and stubble will fall off easily.

Add seasoning to corn. Roll corn in butter and sprinkle with pepper and salt (if desired). Let the corn cool and enjoy. If you want, you can also sprinkle some cheese or sour cream and red pepper powder over the corn.

• Microwave baked corn is very fresh and you can eat it by hand or use a tool to enjoy the corn more easily.
• You can peel the corn kernels to use as a side dish or to use in other dishes. Stand up the corn and use a knife to cut it from above to remove the seeds.

Method 2 of 2: Bake the Peeled Corn by Microwave

1. 

   
   
   Peel the corn (if necessary). Pulling the entire corn husk down the stem like peeling a banana. The corn husks will gather in place and you can easily break them off. Remove the stubble remaining on the corn stalk. Or you can cut off the head near the corn stalk and the corn husks will come off automatically.
   • Since the corn husks and stubble are very fibrous, it's best to throw them out in an easy-to-destroy area, like in a garden or use as compost.
   • You can leave the corn stubble for your child to make a corn beard doll.
   • Keep the stalk of the corn stalk or break it up with the corn husks if desired.

2. 

   Cover the corn. Use a wet paper towel (or a soft, clean towel) to cover the corn or place it in a covered dish (the type that can be used in the microwave).
   • Place a teaspoon of water on a plate to prevent the corn from drying out while baking.
   • At this point, you can add your favorite seasoning to the popcorn. Can use shredded cheese, lemon juice or other spices depending on taste.
   • You can soak a tissue in the lemon juice solution to simplify the taste of corn.

3. 

   Roast corn popcorn. Arrange the corn evenly and not on top of each other to make the corn evenly ripe. Roast corn on the High (high temperature) mode for about 5 minutes, depending on the amount of popcorn to be baked. Each popcorn needs to be roasted 2-4 minutes longer and longer if more than one popcorn is to be roasted.

4. 

   Add butter, salt and pepper to the corn (if desired). If you want, you can also sprinkle some cheese or sour cream and red pepper powder over the corn. advertisement

Advice

• It is best to use heat-resistant gloves, especially the ones made from insulating, dust-proof, and water-resistant silicon to remove the corn husks that have just been baked.
• For corns that do not have a lot of outer shell to cover dirt, you should always peel and wash them.
• Remove one end of the butter stick and use it to spread over hot corn. Spread the butter along the length of the popcorn to allow it to melt and penetrate the crevices.
• Peeling corn stubble is easier by: Roasting the corn with its beard and shell intact. Then cut a circle around the top near the corn stalk. Grab the other end of the corn husk and the stubble will come off automatically.
• If you want to save the popcorn as an after-meal dessert, wrap it in a clean paper towel. This will help keep the popcorn warm and moist until you want to enjoy it.

Warning

• You should wait for the corn to cool a little after taking it out of the microwave before enjoying it because the corn will be very hot.
• Do not microwave the small metal "skewer" if you want to stick the stick to the top of the popcorn to make it easier to handle.
