Cooking corn in the microwave is my preferred method. I am not too fond of pots of boiling water heating up my kitchen on a hot summer day. This method is good when you are cooking only 2 or 3 ears of corn. If you are cooking more, you should choose one of the other cooking methods or do it in batches in the microwave.

The Nenana Ice Classic competition began in 1917 when railroad engineers bet a total of 800 dollars, winner take all, guessing the exact time (month, day, hour, minute) the Tanana River ice would break. Each year since then, Alaska residents have guessed at the timing of ice breakup.any factors influence ice breakup, such as air temperature, ice thickness, snow cover, wind, water temperature, and depth of water below the ice. Generally, ice on the Tanana River breaks up in late April or early May (historically, April 20 to May 20).
