Corn on the Cobb

I've been doing it wrong all these years.  Spring means fresh cheap corn on the cobb, one of my all time favories.  Any food meant to be dipped in butter and sprinkled with salt goes to the top of my list.  Get out the pan, boil the water, husk the corn, strip away all of those silks, clean up the mess hopefully before your corn isn't overcooked... Never again!  Microwave it.  Two ears of corn, husks silks and all, pop it in the microwave for three minutes.  Don your oven mitts and chop off the stalk end. A perfectly steamed ear of corn will slide out of the husk all silks detached.  Don't forget the butter.  You're welcome.
