Tip-sy Tuesday: Microwaving Corn

I usually microwave a couple/three ears of corn by removing the husks and silk, wrap individual ears in saran wrap and microwave for a couple minutes. At least I did it that way until Ginny told me about how she makes microwave corn and it's genius! I honestly have no idea why this works but it does.

Cut around stem end thru the husk (but don't cut off the stem). Leave the silk end and the husks on. Don't cover, microwave 4 minutes per ear. Remove from microwave, pull cob out by using the stem as a handle (use a paper towel or pot holder to hold if it's too hot to handle). The cob comes out of the husk clean and free of cornsilk. Amazing. 

Ginny sent me this picture that shows how to cut thru the husk right before the stem end (see the bottom ear of corn in this pic):
