    Most delicious corn you will ever enjoy, and no husking or hair left behind.

    This is how I do it too. If you find your's aren't falling right out, you need to cut in a little farther on the cob. You can also just peel off the husk and it comes out pretty clean if you don't want to waste any of your corn.

    I usually cut the other end too, and then peel. I'm definitely going to try this next time and save a bit of work :)

    Just a shake back and forth and it falls right out, clean as can be, I do not cut back very far, and if a few kernels in the end just give it a squeeze and they pop right out too.

    Can you pre-season the corn (by peeling back the shuck a bit and then replacing) before microwaving?
    I like the fact that it's easy cleaning, but I wonder about the taste?

    Cooking it that long would be too long for me. I bring the water to a boil, put in the cobs and time it for 2 minutes, no more.
