Oh my, I just learned the bottom-cut way. Why shuck when you can shake? After nuking, wearing kitchen gloves, cut off the bottom about 2-3 inches above the stem. Pick up by the top and shake out cob. No silks!

I have used this way of cooking corn on the cob for years. I cut off each end first to make it easier to remove the husks from the hot corn.

I just tried this method for cooking corn and it came out perfect!! Thank.you! What a time saver!

Delicious Corn. THE BEST!! HOWEVER!!! The one thing never mentioned here is how to shuck it. That's what makes this method of cooking so great. Take ears out of microwave and place on cutting board. Using a sharp chef knife, cut the stalk end (fat end) off about 1/2 inch back from where the husk starts to bend around the end of the ear toward the stalk. Then grab the ear by the corn-silk end and shake the ear out. It will come out with absolutely have NO corn silk on it. Perfectly clean!!! You may have to cut more or less off to achieve it. The ear should shake out pretty easy.

We cut off the bottom end of the corn, then microwaved for 8 min. For 2 ears. They will be very hot. So, with a hot pad grab the top and shake. The corn on the cob will fall out ready to eat.

Awesome. Just tried it and will never boil corn again if there is a working microwave. Love this suggestion!

Not quite as tasty as cooking in a pressure cooker, but faster overall, and does eliminate the tedious task of removing the silks. BTW, did you know there's one silk strand for each kernel on the cob?

Half way through cooking, on turning, i added some butter to cob, yummy.

I'm always trying to keep calories down when eating anything and with corn on the cob I'll not apply butter and salt (although I love the taste) I usually apply mustard as it enhances the flavor without the calories or once in a while I'll spray olive oil on them and apply salt, I just love corn on the cob.

I tried this today and it was so easy and so good. Less of a mess than boiling in water. I will be using this method going forward.

This is the right way to prepare one ear at a time. 90 seconds. In the husk. Not being the patient type, I peeled the corn after a minute of cooling. Too hot to touch, used two paper towels to protect my hands from the heat. Rolled the corn on a stick of butter ( a family tradition) applied liberal salt and pepper... IT DOES NOT GET ANY BETTER!!!. (Fixed ear number two and three right away. WOW... Thanks.

Awesome in its simplicity

I will never boil corn again. Great instructions. I did soak 2 for a few and the paper towel also. Hit veg on micro it cooked at 2 1/2. Turned them over hit it again. Well couldn't eat 2 now I have to find out what to do with leftover. Thank you.

I get home at 5, had bought corn on the way and wanted a quick dinner-this recipe worked awesome and it was delicious too! After letting it stay wrapped in the towel, it wasn't as burning hot to eat like after you do it on the stove.

Our family has cooked "corn on the cob" in the microwave for many years & we'll never have it any other way!! .. (personally, I can make a meal of it, I love it that much!!) .. I also found a wonderful way to quickly apply the butter to the cob with no mess at all, I heavily apply the butter to a slice of bread, lay the corn cob on top of the butter, close your hand a little & roll it, this gives the corn an "even coating" with a turn or 2!! Now salt & pepper to taste.. Mmmm!! .. Works Great Every time!! :) .. sorry without chasing the butter all around
