Place whole ear of corn (with husk on) in microwave
Microwave on high for 4 minutes
Remove corn from microwave with oven mitt or potholder as corn will be very hot
Make a straight cut with a sharp knife across the stem end of cob at a point that you estimate to be just past the first row of corn (from the stem end)
Pick up ear of corn (using mitt) by the pointed end (opposite of the cut end) squeeze and gently shake with cut end over plate
Corn should slide out onto plate (if necessary you may use tongs to pull corn out)
Corn will come out clean with no silk
Discard husk and end piece
Butter and salt corn or add your favorite condiments as desired
Enjoy!
