Make this recipe a recipe that people in that category can eat. categories: ['low_fat'], recipe: place the water, milk, butter, sugar, salt, and red pepper flakes in a large, heavy pot and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. add the corn, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until tender, about 5 to 8 minutes. remove the pot from the heat and let stand until needed. drain and serve hot, either plain or with the condiments of your choosing, such as oil, butter or maple syrup.

Target recipe: snip the silk from the top of the ear. for one unshucked ear, place in the microwave for 2 minutes on high. rotate the cob one quarter turn and microwave for 2 more minutes. turn the cob again and microwave for 2 more minutes. remove from the microwave and run briefly under cool water. shuck the ear (the silk comes off easily now). the time will have to be increased for more than one ear. if making the corn ahead of time, store the cooked unshucked ears in a brown bag until ready to serve. serve with salt and melted butter or compound butters made with butter, garlic and herbs.
