Got this email a while ago, on how to put corn on the cob in microwave, and then cut stub, and it pulls right out. It worked real good. Put full cob (with husk) into microwave, for 7 minutes. Then cut stub (not tip) and pull out. Comes out with NO hairy stuff, and ready to eat. Of course, you need mittens to hold. You can experiment with the minutes, according to strength of microwave. Try it sometime, you will like. No more husking!!!
