For those that aren't anti-microwave, have you tried microwaving your corn on the cob in the husk? Turns out great.

Leave the corn in the husk.

Microwave on high for 4 minutes.

Hold the hot corn with a pot holder and cut off the large end of the cob. From the small end, just apply pressure. The corn should slide right out of the cob silk-free.

Turns out great every time.

    I am trying this tonight, seems so simple. I've grilled corn on the cob in the husk but it takes a long time, this seems much faster.

    We do this all the time. I used to worry about bugs but I've never seen one.

    That was my thought too when I first saw this on Youtube, but so far I've yet to see a bug in the cooked corn.
