it doesn't need long to cook... maybe 4 or 5 minutes.... it turns more yellow as it gets more done.... i would say just put it in for about 4 or 5 minutes, and that should be good! sounds yummy!

I am just curious now...why do you add whole milk to it? Does it make it softer? sweeter?

the milk makes the corn sweeter.

Then you have to spread the wealth.... call one person one time, then another, then another. Then start recycling them.

ooohhhh, wish I saw this last night! My mom gave me a better way to make it & it keeps the juices in the corn!

Don't husk them, put them in the oven on a baking sheet at 350 for 20 minutes. Take them out & let them cool. The husk will come off easily. This keepst he nutrients inside & is the best tasting corn!

Outrageous!!!

I also like to put them on the grill, I take most of the husk off, leave alittle covering them and the grill does the rest...YUMMY!!!!
