How to microwave corn on the cob with no prep and no silk left behind. Have you tried it?
Share this with a friend.
Several of you have asked if this microwave corn cooking hack actually works. Yes! My mother introduced me to it years ago and I’ve been using ever since!
Here’s how to do it:
Place the whole cob, husk on, no trimming needed in microwave.
Cook four minutes, rotating halfway.
Using oven mitts, transfer corn to cutting board and cut off bottom right where leaves meet the cob.
Hold the top end with the silk and squeeze out the cob.
The silk stays behind and cob slides out.
Enjoy.
