This really does work! In this video you cut off the bottom end before cooking. Just be sure to cut all the way through so that you see the individual rows of corn. Also, I use one of the "baked potato" bags they sell at the craft fair. I leave the husks on, cut the bottoms off, put two in a bag, microwave on high for 6 minutes and you have delicious corn.

Pat, please watch the bag when you cook. Mom bought two last year, one for her, one for me. She used hers a few times, enjoying nice, hot, perfectly baked potatoes......then the last time she used it, the bag ignited. I stopped using mine for cooking, only having used it once. Not sure the same will happen when cooking corn, but it was a horrible surprise cooking that potato!
