I have been cooking corn on the cob in the microwave for a few years now. No more boiling on the stove after shucking ear after ear. I realized though from talking with people that many do not know about this. So for you folks who want to try something new... here it is.
LEAVE the shuck on, just pull off the corn silk. Place 4 ears in the microwave for 15 min. Set aside. Do 4 more until you have done what you need for your family. For me and Cathy I usually only do two ears and that takes 7-8 min. When you are ready to eat the corn, shuck it and enjoy. The shucks come off in usually two pulls and all of it is off. In addition the corn stays hot in the shuck until you are ready to eat it. The idea is ABOUT FOUR MINUTES PER EAR with a microwave that is high powered

(World Famous Spare Ribs)
( or Boneless Chicken )
1) 4 lbs of Country Style Pork Spare Ribs
2) 1 large can Hunts Tomato Sauce
3) 1 Large Onion (chopped )
4) 1 Large green or red pepper ( chopped) (I like the red )
5) ¼ cup of oil
6) 2 tablespoons Molasses
7) ¼ tablespoon Hot Sauce
8) 2 tablespoons of Soy sauce
9) 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
10) 2 tablespoons of Molasses
11) 3 tablespoons of Brown sugar
12) ¼ cup of Vinegar (white or Red wine works too )
13) Pinch of Dry Mustard
14) 16 oz of Ketchup
15) Garlic powder
Place Ribs in Baking dish ( aprox.16X10) sprinkle with garlic powder. Set oven for 375 deg. And bake for 50min.
While this is baking, in a large pan ( I use an electric skillet ) fry the onions and peppers in the oil until onions are soft. Add all the rest of the ingredients in any order, stir each time you add.
Simmer until the ribs have cooked for 50 min.
Drain excessive grease from the ribs, pour the tomato mixture over the ribs. Move the ribs around a little in the mixture. Continue cooking the ribs 15 more min. The beauty of this is, if your guests are running late, the ribs can cook for up to 2 hours. Also re-heats good too.
I like to make 3 or 4 cups of rice and pour the sauce over it.
