This works so well! There are hardly any silks left! So easy!!!

Leave the husks on the corn. You can trim the fuzzy end a little though.
Place the corn on a microwave-safe plate and microwave:
1 ear – 3 minutes
2 ears – 5 minutes
3 ears – 6 minutes
4 ears – 7 minutes
Allow the corn to cool after cooking for about 5 minutes. The corn will be very hot when the corn finishes cooking. Use a mitt to hold the corn. My red silicone ones are perfect.
Cut about 1 inch off of the end of the corn that has a stub. Don’t cut the end with the silk showing.
Pull the end of the corn with the silk away and pinch and push the corn out of the husk. Sometimes it takes a few tries to get things moving. If you are having difficulty, peel back the husk at the top a little or try holding the end with the silk in one hand and using the other hand to rock the corn a bit.
