remind me about tomatoes and corn

[pam]

Why should I store tomatoes stem side down and how to cook fresh corn in the microwave (to get rid of the silk without husking).

thanks.

If you keep the tomatoes stem side down, they don't go bad as quickly...

...because the stem allows air and moisture to enter and exit, causing spoilage.

This timing works for large kernels, but for smaller bi-color kernels, we prefer to drop it

down to no more than 3 minutes. Even when we do 2 at a time, we still reduce the time.
