Nero Wolfe Corn on the Cob

This summer we have been re-watching our set of Nero Wolfe dvd's.  Nero Wolfe is passionate about food! (and orchids).  He was so excited about fresh corn in one episode that we decided to google the recipe.

Oven 4475 - 500 degrees
Place ears of corn on baking sheet (or just put on the baking rack).  Do not shuck!
Let roast 40 minutes. exactly.

Present on a platter at the table with butter and salt on the side.
Have guests shuck at the table.
"It tastes like cake".

We're going out for more corn today.

I roasted smallish new potatoes on the same baking sheet.  When it was all nearly done we put thin pork chops on the grill. Easiest summer dinner ever.

The corn gets a little scorched on the outside.  Its super easy to shuck. The silk comes right off with the husk.  I know it seems like a long time to cook corn. Trust me.
