Has anybody microwaved corn on the cob? Well, a Farmer (of all people) told us to cut off each end of the cob, take off all but 3 or 4 layers of the husk, put 1 cob in the microwave at a time for 2 minutes and that is it!
This is the best corn on the cob we have ever eaten. And done perfectly every time. I know...I am traditional and old fashioned as anyone here, but this Farmer is too and this recipe came from him! Try it!!!

I have a microwave corn thingie that holds 2 ears of corn. You add a tablespoon of water and microwave for 4 min. Really good. Next time I have fresh corn, I'll try your way. What do you do about the silks? Do they remove easily when you take off the remaining husk??

Now do you take the husk off, Marybeth? I've not tried this way yet! But I will now!!!

Belle...I cut both ends about an inch in, so that removes the end silk. Amazingly there are hardly any strands of silk left on the cob. Then I keep the husks for my Cornhusk dollies that I make for Fall.

For 1 or 2 servings here's what we do:
Strip the husks and silks off
Wet the cobs
Take 2 paper towles still connected and wet these.
Wrap the cobs loosly in these
Nuke for 2-3 minutes
