Fluffy215 said:did you use the corn cob nobs? I find I have to cut the corn in half to fit in a pot with the nobs so curious if they fit better in the DCB. Thanks
Sorry, nope! I have some old knobs that you have to put in after cooking. (ducking)... If your corn was short, they would probably work?

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prepare corn on the cob in the Deep Covered Baker?
To prepare corn on the cob in the Deep Covered Baker, start by shucking the corn and removing all the silk. Place the corn in the baker, adding a small amount of water (about 1/4 cup) to create steam. Cover the baker with the lid and microwave on high for 8-10 minutes, depending on the number of ears and the wattage of your microwave. Let it sit for a few minutes before removing the lid, as steam will escape.
Can I cook more than one ear of corn at a time?
Yes, you can cook multiple ears of corn in the Deep Covered Baker. Just ensure that they fit comfortably without overcrowding. Adjust the cooking time slightly if you are cooking more than four ears, as it may require an additional minute or two to ensure they are fully cooked.
Do I need to add any seasoning or butter before cooking?
While it's not necessary to add seasoning or butter before cooking, you can enhance the flavor by brushing the corn with melted butter or sprinkling it with salt before placing it in the Deep Covered Baker. You can also add herbs or spices for extra flavor, which will infuse during cooking.
Is it safe to use the Deep Covered Baker in the microwave?

For tough stains or stuck-on food, you can soak it for a short period or use a non-abrasive scrubber. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners to maintain the integrity of the stoneware.
