There are several effective methods to reheat corn on the cob, allowing it to stay juicy and flavorful. Here are the top ways with brief instructions for each: Microwave:
- Place corn on a microwave-safe plate with about 2 tablespoons of water.
- Cover with a damp paper towel or second plate.
- Microwave on high for 20 seconds, flip, and repeat in 20-second intervals until hot.
Oven:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Wrap each ear of corn in aluminum foil with a teaspoon of water and optional butter or seasonings.
- Place directly on the oven rack for 5 to 7 minutes.
Air Fryer:
- Preheat air fryer to 350°F.
- Wrap corn in foil with water.
- Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until heated.
Grill:
- Preheat grill to medium.
- Brush corn with butter or oil.
- Grill, flipping every 30 seconds, for about 2 minutes.
Stovetop:
- Bring a pot of salted water to boil.
- Boil corn for 2 to 5 minutes until heated through.
Bonus (Off the Cob):
- Remove kernels and sauté them in a skillet with butter or oil until warmed and slightly browned.
Each method has its merits: microwave is fastest and convenient, oven and air fryer provide even heating without drying, boiling keeps corn juicy, and grilling adds flavor.
