Ingredients

  • 1 Whole Fresh Corn on the Cob
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt  , to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Fresh Cracked Black Pepper

Optional Flavor toppings:

  • grated parmesan cheese
  • garlic salt
  • onion salt
  • paprika
  • fresh dried herbs

Instructions 

  • Place the whole corn with husks-on in the microwave. Don't remove the husks! They hold in the steam and add great flavor too. Microwave the corn on high heat for about 4 minutes.
  • Carefully remove the corn from the microwave using a kitchen towel. The corn will be hot! Cut off the stem end of the corn making sure you cut into at least one row of corn from the stem.
  • Squeeze the top of the husk to push out the whole corn. It should slip out pretty easy but if it doesn't, try using a fork on the cut-end to help pull it out.
  • Add butter, salt pepper and other optional flavor toppings. Enjoy!
