That is a cool way to shuck corn.  Will have to try it.

That was very kewl. I wonder how the corn turns out having been microwave? Anybody ever cook corn like this. Maybe you can boil it in the husk and have the same outcome.

I have been cooking fresh corn in the microwave for over 10 years now. The ONLY way to go unless you want a grilled taste. I never did what the guy in the vedio did though. I simply pull off the husk and the silk comes off very easily. I leave the bottom stalk in place to hold it then take stick butter and rub on the hot corn, lightly salt and chow down. Tastes every bit as good (if not better than) boiled.

Yup, been doing it in the micro wave for years. I soak the corn for 5 min. than zap it on high for 5min. Soaking makes it steam.

All ya need then is to butter it the way was show a week or so ago. You take a gallon pickle jar and fill about 3/4 full with very hot water. Then you pour in 2 cups of melted butter and then just dip the corn into the jar. Works great.

We use the microwave for it too! Just peel corn and wrap a damp paper towel around it. Cook three minutes a ear. Very good and no soaking. Steams add butter and eat!

Been cooking corn in the microwave for 30 years!  Sometimes I shuck and silk and put the husks back on, sometimes just put shucked corn in a covered casserole, and lots of times do it like the video - the easiest and with less cleaning.  Tastes great.  Like it better in mircowave better than boiled.  I've got an old corning top range that takes forever to boil water.  Got tired of watching water boil so, went exclusively with microwave.  4 minutes an ear - done!  If you are careful, you don't need the gloves like the video guy does - just a towel.

I do like Viper, clean the corn, wrap with a wet paper towel, nuke, butter, salt and pepper, eat. Mmmm
