Microwave corn on the cob
 

There are a half-dozen videos on YouTube and others. Zap the ear, silk and all for 2-4 minutes per ear. Grab the ear by the silk end, usind a hot pad. Cut off more of the stem end than you think you have to. You want to cut above where the husks attach to the cob.

Not in the videos, but I also make a 2" slit lengthwise at the stem end, because the husks tend to clench on my Silver King.

Shake the ear. the cob will fall out. Silk-less, because you are holding it by the silk.

No pot of boiling water. No burned husks if you are a corn griller. And microwaving as you need them means every ear will be hot when you eat it.

I have been using this method for a while now. Not only do you get a clean ear but it is delicious!:):)

Thanks for posting! :)

Yes. The horror of the microwave is oft misplaced. I've
been steaming corn in the nuke for forty years; the only
refinement I'd add would be that you should soak the
ears in cold water for a few minutes beforehand.

Growing up we always boiled corn, something that I no longer do.

My first choice is grilling - peel back husk to remove as much silk as you can easily get to, soak in water for awhile, put on grill with husks on. Time suggestions vary widely but I find 25 minutes to be about right, and I use indirect heat.

Second choice is microware, but I dehusk before cooking, and put butter on the corn and then wrap in wax paper before microwaving. Saves the potholder while trying not to burn your fingers routine.

I always remove the husk, wrap in saran wrap and microwave. I then remove the Saran wrap and place on a platter. It might be too much work for some, but I'm always trying to hide that the purchase of my kitchen was for solely for sheer resale value.

I personally like it on the grill better but I do use the Microwave sometimes. I wrap the corn in saran wrap, dehusked (is that a word?) and after it has soaked for a while in cold water

We microwave corn in the husk and have for a long time. Assuming a good ear of corn, no need for slt or butter for me... just heat and eat!

We just started zapping our corn and are also big fans. We have a 1,200 watt unit so do three minutes for one ear or five minutes for two and have good results with that.

What's the benefit/result of this?

The days of 10 corns for a buck!

I always microwave my corn, but I husk it first. 3.5 minutes per ear in my microwave. It's always sweet, and never dried out.

OK, stop it, please! This is just corn porn!

With absolutely fresh, it's probably redundant, but it seems
to soften the husk a bit, making it easier to remove; plus it
appears to make the kernels more tender.

My first nuke was in 1979 - the owner of the store in Etna, PA, called it a potato cooker. I think it was a Magic Chef.

Anyhoo, this technique is first class. Amazing. It falls out slick as can be.

Microwave corn on the cob is okay if you don't have much time to spare. But I always go for grilled or steam corn on the cob because the corns turn out to be much much sweeter and flavorful.
