Microwave Corn on the Cob in the Husk
Cook summer corn on the cob in the husk in the microwave. It only takes three minutes to get perfectly steamed corn. Steaming the corn in the husk allows for easy removal of the silk.

Ingredients
1
corn on the cob
husk in tact
Instructions
Place the corn on the cob (with the husk still on the cob) in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes on high.
Remove from the microwave carefully with a towel or tongs and place on a cutting board. Allow to rest for about 5 minutes until slightly cooled.
Using a sharp knife (chef knife or serrated knife is best), cut the stem completely off.
Holding the corn with a towel, starting at the silk end, push out the cob from the husk. The husk should remove easily.
Top with whatever seasoning you want or cut off the cob and enjoy in a salad.
Notes
Keep the husk on to microwave corn.
If you want to do more than one piece of corn, make sure they are not touching and add 1 more minute to cook time per each extra piece of corn.
Do not do more than 3 pieces at once.
Corn will be hot when it comes out of the microwave, use a towel to handle.
