We do it almost the same. We cut the tassle off, trim the stubby end and just roll them into the micro. About 4-5 min for 2 ears, turning them once. The turntable function does not move the upside to down, so we do that turn. There is enough steam from the green husks, and they are cooking in their own juice. The husk and silks slide right off. BE CAREFUL, they are hot as ...... uhm, really hot.

I don't think there is really good sweet corn here...or at least we haven't found it. I am missing Ohio corn.:mad::mmmm::wave:
Exactly the way I do it and it comes out perfect every time. But add a spoonful of sugar to the cold water.

The Micowave method works fine and easily removes all hair for the cobbs. Can buy some locally grown corn that is pretty good if eaten promptly after being picked. The cold water boiled method is no longer necessary and it doesn't allow simple hair removal.

Simple hair removal!!! My imagination is taking off on that one, and it's all corny.
