The Spiral Staircase: The Best Corn on the Cob Ever (a la Nero Wolfe)
Put the ears on a baking sheet in a 475-500 degree oven for 40 minutes, and then present on a platter at the table with butter and salt on the side. Have your guests shuck at the table. It tastes like cake.
You’ll be tempted to cook this at a lower heat or for less long, but I’ve tried it at all heats from 400 to 500 and from 20 minutes to 40 minutes. Forty minutes at 500 degrees is the best. It doesn’t dry out. It’s sweet and perfect. Don’t worry about the cornsilk; it comes easily off the ear after roasting.

Been meaning to try this but haven’t gotten there yet. Tis that time of year so must get some and do so.

Extremely comprehensive article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nero_Wolfe. Prepare to spend a while reading it all… 😉
Inspired By Wolfe Blog
Inspired By Wolfe is a cooking blog (mostly) inspired by dishes from the Nero Wolfe series of books and the Nero Wolfe Cook Book. There are some very good recipes and info on the site as well as a short and humorous story told in cookies: Murder by the cook: A murder mystery told in cookies.
I’ve spent quite a bit of time browsing around and have read all the Wolfe related recipes and must say I’ve learned a lot! I tried the scrambled eggs in a double boiler last night and they were good. However as the only double boiler I have is glass and the stove (electric) doesn’t regulate well, they cooked too hot/fast so am going to have to try again. The sauisse minuit recipe sounds (and looks!) quite good! Going to see if I can find a source for Pheasant and Goose here in East Central Alabama and give it a try.
Very Satisfactory!!!

Nero Wolfe – From Wikipedia
Nero Wolfe – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nero Wolfe is a fictional detective, created by the American mystery writer Rex Stout, who made his debut in 1934. Wolfe’s assistant Archie Goodwin recorded the cases of the detective genius in 33 novels and 39 short stories from the 1930s to the 1970s, with most of them set in New York City. The Nero Wolfe corpus was nominated Best Mystery Series of the Century at Bouchercon 2000, the world’s largest mystery convention, and Rex Stout was nominated Best Mystery Writer of the Century.
Just found this page on Wikipedia about Wolfe. Quite an extensive piece and well worth reading for anyone interested in the Nero Wolfe books or television series.

Beer’s old url seems to be dead. Just found this in one of his emails while looking through older Wolfe List posts.
If you are a Wolfe fan and haven’t been to this site, you owe it to yourself to head over and spend some time. Great stuff!
Thanks Beer!

Says it gives the perfect head. Wonder if Wolfe has one? Or does he still prefer bottles?
