My Nephew came to visit this summer, brought corn on the cob and showed me how to microwave it.
I put 2 ears with husk on in the microwave (did tonight!) and cook it on high for 7 minutes.
With a sharp knife cut the stem end off at the first row of corn.
Then grab the small end and shake the ear out of the husk.
It might take some shaking (and it's hot) but it comes out clean without the silk!
I have had corn 5-6 times since he showed me and it works every time.
We've been doing this now for a couple years. Sure takes the work out of corn on the cob! I have experimented with the time. . . if it's a little hard to get the cob out, it usually requires just a another minute or two. Lately we've been doing 4 minutes one at a time. But it all works!
