I'm from 'corn country'. Never had done it this way before, but LOVE these results! Never again will I boil H2O, etc., etc. This 'new' way is THE very best!

To shuck, try this. After microwave cooking in the husk, cut off the base of the ear of corn. Squeeze from the top and wiggle the corn and it almost slides out of the silk and husk. Somewhere on YouTube someone has a video of it. It works great!

If cooking corn on the grill you only have to soak the corn with husks on for 1-2 hours. Rotate the corn throughout the cooking process and it should be done in about 20 minutes or so. The husks will still get dark but the corn will not be burned. We have done it this way MANY times and it is delicious!!!!

Reading these reviews (some hilarious), I cant resist my corn cooking urge tonight. Tho I'm still hesitant on what cook time to go by.... All I know is I just like my corn done! I'm think I will try 3 mins per cob for average size but presoak & leave all husks on. Then cut off the bottom after cooking followed by a little shake (& dance, hehe) in hopes it falls out clean!...Not really excited ab cleaning silk from hot corn so I have faith in the wonderful reviews that tip will work!! Then I am going to top w/ some (I lied... lots) of butter, salt & fresh ground pepper! Thanks to everyone for sharing your secrets... I anticipate a new fav side item)

Perfectly done corn! Nice to not heat up the kitchen on a hot day!!

I also cook my corn a minute longer that the suggestions above. I've the corn is done, score the bottom of the corn near the base of the husk to cut thru the green layers. Then, grip the the top of the corn near silks and squeeze the corn out of the bottom. It comes out clean, so silks and very moist!

Love, love, love this recipe! So easy. From now on this is the only way I am cooking corn on the cob. I did increase the cook time for one ear to 3 minutes but other than that...amazing!

Just tried it and loved it!! May have to extend cooking time just a tad, but I will never boil again!

Agree - never cut off the 'tassel' end first - and for those of you that like to soak and grill outside -- I season my 'soak' water -- couple of teaspoons cumin, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder and 1/2 tsp garlic powder -- or just play with whatever seasoning you like -- most will be 'aromatics' and not actually 'flavor' -- and you can always make an herb butter.

DO NOT cut off the tassels! Cut off the other end instead making sure to whack off about a 1/4" or at least one or two kernels deep. After cooking, hold the ear by the tassel end and the cob will slide right out, COMPLETELY CLEAN and free of silks.

Microwave worked well... My 750 watt got the corn hot and tender, shucks easily, then buttered and grilled them (10 min.) for caramelized flavor! Best corn-on-the-cob in my 70 years!

Easier way is to cut the stalk end of the cob (leave in husk) enough that you can see a ring of the corn. Microwave, 4 minutes per ear. It is very hot so remove carefully and using a pot holder squeeze the silk end until the ear of corn falls out. It is now fully cooked and has no silk to remove.

Quick and delicious way to cook corn. Grilling is also good, just cut both ends and wrap in foil and grill for about 40 min.

Jeff Stockton - you made me laugh so hard I almost keeled over!!!! What a hoot! Hello from Arizona!

One of the comments said they cooked the corn too long and the husks caught fire. So, I ran water over my husks and placed on wet paper towel in microwave. Cooked 2 slender ears 2 minutes, turned over and cooked 2 more minutes. Let them sit about 4 minutes, held them with a clean rag and shucked with the other hand. Needed the rag to hold them, they were hot! They shucked easily and the corn was DELICIOUS! Husband and I agree, it was the best corn we have ever had. I had always boiled corn on the cob, never again.
