Pre-cooked corn can be eaten after reheating it. The easiest way to reheat a single ear of corn is by using the microwave.
Reheating Pre-Cooked Corn in the Microwave
Here's how to effectively reheat pre-cooked corn using a microwave, based on recommendations from Delish's Food Director Robert Seixas:
- Prepare the Corn: Place the pre-cooked ear of corn on a microwave-safe bowl or plate.
- Moisten the Corn: Cover the ear of corn with a damp paper towel. This helps keep the corn moist during reheating.
- Microwave: Microwave for 1 minute.
- Flip Halfway: After 30 seconds, take the corn out of the microwave and flip it. This ensures even heating.
