Can you fit an ear of corn in it? Thanks

I prefer to put corn with husk still on into microwave rather than boil all the flavor out of it, so I would never use this to cook corn and I found it not very successful for cooking asparagus which is why I purchased it in the first place. I have donated this item to the Thrift Store.

Yes you can, just follow the weight limit on the instructions and large heads won't fit well.

as long as the volume of corn isn't over a 1/4 cup I popped with oil and with out

I haven't tried that, but I kind of doubt it. There are three holes for material to dispense onto the impeller. There's a short steel rod that spins around to agitate the material, located about 1/2" over the plane of the holes. The holes themselves are about 7/8" dia. Unless the corn consists of very small kernels, I suspect that it would jam. OTOH, if that's all you want to use it for, I think you could enlarge the holes easily to about 1" and still have it work with the existing shutter. The shutter has molded holes in it about 1" dia that can't be enlarged without weakening it to the point of assured failure. I haven't tried that, but I kind of doubt it.

I have not tried that as yet and I am not quite sure how long it would take to cook it. I use a microwave steamer to cook corn on the cob. That method takes only five minutes and the corn is perfect and delicious. Each ear takes only half a teaspoon of water and there is no loss of flavor or food value as happens when corn is boiled in a pot.

I'm not sure...but...there are several buds inside the pouch that fits different sizes of ears

doesn't work well if it's too small. Then it just massages the top. Best with BIG corn ears only.

Absolutely! Put 2 1/2 to 3 tablespoons in a paper bag o an Air Popper and set microwave to "high" for 3 minutes. The time may need adjusting, depending on your microwave power. I do not use oil, butter or anything else during the popping. After popping, I sometimes spray the non-calorie butter on the popped corn. Delicious. Eat it most days.

I've only been using deer corn in it, but I don't think it would toss anything much bigger than that. It would probably sling the small pellets, but I believe the larger ones would hang up.

Never tried it, but if you are gentle with it, it shouldn't tear up the kernels. Good luck and enjoy the corn!!!

Yes I add a couple of tablespoons of water to each side with the corn on the cob, then close the lid and microwave.It is soooo handy, sometimes I put leftovers in it for my husband to take to work so he can microwave in the container.

This size would be too small because of the depth. I planted 5 "bread and butter" corn and 5 "silver queen" corn in 2 separate 10-gal. containers last year. The corn needs at least 10" - 12" depth, and each stalk needs about a 6" - 8" space around it. It also needs a LOT of water snd nitrogen, so I mixed in some water crystals to retain moistue and planted bush beans with the corn. I also planted pole beans with some othe corn, and it was cool to see tyhe pole beans climb the corn stalks, but the corn with the bush beans did better.

Apologies, but I have not even tried those items. I believe corn kernels would be way too big to fit in the 1.25" hopper opening. The driest grains do best as moisture makes the grinding parts turn gummy. I bet rice & tapioca would do well. I have ground Spelt, Kamut, & other wheats. For flax & teff, seeds like chia, I use my Krups coffee grinder. I do not eat corn, so am not familiar with grinding it, but I'm just thinking of the size of it & it is going to be too big to be ground by this grain grinder, in my estimation.

Good morning Alan and Amy, I measured and the entire FryDaddy is about 5 1/4" deep and about 7" across. The oil would be about 2 1/2" deep. The FryDaddy sides slant slightly so the bottom would not be quite as wide. I don't think a corn dog with a stick would fit. The small burritos possibly. I haven't tried to fry either one so I thought maybe the measurements would be a little help.

I can't. But if you can wear it very loose I guess you might be able to. I wear earplugs when I mow or blow or weedeat

I don't believe it will. While it is well made, I am very reluctant to try corn cobs.

Yes you sure can. I love mine. I have a larger one but this one is a great size- not to big not to little.
