Instructions

1

Microwave in Husk

Place the corn still in its husk directly on the microwave turntable and microwave on high for 4 minutes. The husk acts as a natural steaming wrapper.

2

Rest and Peel

Allow the corn to rest for 2 minutes before handling as it will be very hot. Cut off the bottom end of the husk and squeeze the corn out, the silk will slide off cleanly.

3

Butter and Season

Rub butter over the hot corn and sprinkle with salt. Serve immediately while still steaming hot.
