Ingredients
  

  • 4 ears of corn husk on
  • 4 tablespoons butter optional

Instructions
 

  • Place the corn in the microwave, do not remove the husk. Microwave the corn on the high setting for 4 minutes. Note that every microwave is different. If this timing over-cooks the corn in your microwave, reduce it to 2 to 3 minutes the next time.

  • Use tongs or a pot holder to remove corn from the microwave (it's hot!). Cut off the bottom of the corn, stem end, about one row of corn in from the stem.
