The easiest corn on the cob--peel the shuck back and rinse the corn with water. Put the shuck back in place and microwave. The time depends on the amount of corn and the power of your microwave. I use 5 minutes for one ear and add a minute for each other ear. Let the corn sit for a minute or so or you might scald yourself with steam when you break off the bottom of the shuck and remove shuck and silk in one operation. I cant wait for summer and fresh corn. Source: generic. Posted by gidwitz@med.unc.edu (Susan Gidwitz) to the Fatfree Digest [Volume 17 Issue 4] Apr. 5, 1995.
