Ingredients

Directions

Rinse corn in the husk under water briefly. Wrap with a paper towel and place on a microwave-safe plate.

Cook corn in the microwave until hot and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the microwave and let rest for 2 minutes. Remove corn husk.

Cook’s Note

Cooking time is variable. I cook one large ear for 5 minutes in a 1000-watt oven. You will need to adjust the time if you have small ears of corn.

There's no need to remove the corn silk. When you take the husk off, the silk comes right along with it, and your corn is as clean as it can be. Because the corn is hot, I use a clean dishcloth to hold and remove the husk.
