Place corn in a microwave. Up to 4 ears of corn at one time. Microwave on high for 8 minutes. (4 minutes if you cook a single cob) Remove from the microwave (use oven mitts---the corn will be hot). Place on a cutting board.Take a sharp knife and cut the end off - about 1 to 2 inches. Pick the ear of corn up and hold at the top. In a shaking movement, shake downward and the corn will slide out leaving the corn-silk in the husk. Pinner Wrote:This really works and corn is tender!
