  2. Wrap each ear individually in wet paper towel and microwave for 5mins. Allow to cool.
    TIP: This will make it much easier to cut the ears in quarters.

  3. Stand the ears upright and carefully cut through the top. Then push the knife all the way through until you've cut the ear in half.
    TIP: I found a non-serrated knife worked best.

  4. Placing the cut side down, cut the half portion in half again so you have four quarters from each ear.
    TIP: I used a meat tenderizing mallet to help push the knife through. Give the knife a couple of good whacks and it will glide through easily.

  9. Set corn in a single layer at the bottom of your preheated Air Fryer basket. Run at 400° for 10 mins. Flip and cook for an additional 10 mins.
    NOTE: It's normal for the corn to curl. This is part of it's charm!
