Unhusked Corn (on Cob)


1. Pre-Heat oven of 525 Degrees (the setting just before broil).

2. Wet corn, still in husk (unshucked, under tap) and place in baking pan.

3. Place in oven for 40 minutes, then remove.

4. Shuck at table, butter and salt to your liking.

NOTES:

After watching Murder is Corny, a Nero Wolfe mystery on A&E, I pulled out my old Nero Wolfe Cookbook and decided to try this one. According to Wolfe, it is best if the corn you have is FRESH (as in picked that day).

It is ambrosia

July 21st, 2002 - Update

I finally got to try this for the 2002 summer. I soaked the corn in a large pot of water for about an hour. Then I put the corn in a roasting pan (still unshucked) into a preheated oven (as hot as it could be without broiling).

40 minutes (you may turn the corn in twenty). It was unbelievably good. Butter and salt.
