I2ridehd, When you do it this way, does the corn slide right out, no husk or silks?

I have had limited success with the microwave-for-4 to 7-minutes, then cut the end off. It only worked once, the first time, at 4 minutes. Since then, I've had to peel the husk off. The silks come right off, but it's not working like the video said it would. Plus 7 minutes is way too long to nuke an ear of corn.
